In Dudelange, the police stopped a driver who tested positive for not only alcohol but also drugs. He had to hand over his driving licence and was taken to hospital for a medical examination.

Shortly before midnight, the police had to deal with a driver on the A1 heading towards Germany. According to witnesses, the car had already hit the crash barriers but continued driving at full speed. A police patrol approached the driver when he stopped at a petrol station in Wasserbillig.
A breathalyser test revealed that his alcohol level was almost double the legal limit. It also turned out that he did not have a driving licence.
