A number of motorists were caught driving under the influence on Thursday, with two losing their licences to the authorities.

Late on Thursday afternoon, two cars collided in Schouweiler. One of the drivers was found to be under the influence and lost their licence as a result. Three people were taken to hospital for check-ups following the crash.

Later on, police noticed a car zigzagging across the Route de Luxembourg in Bereldange. When they pulled the vehicle over, they realised the driver was drunk, and issued a provisional driving ban.

A similar incident occurred on  Avenue de la Liberté in the capital overnight, where another intoxicated driver was caught driving erratically and stopped just short of colliding with a police vehicle. The driver had their licence confiscated following a positive breathalyser test.

Finally, yet another motorist was spotted driving dangerously in the same area some hours later.  This transgression resulted in a provisional driving ban.
