In the early hours of Friday night, at approximately 12.40am, a police patrol in Lintgen pulled over a vehicle that had come dangerously close to breaching safety barriers on a left-hand bend just ahead of them. Upon conducting an alcohol test, the driver was found to be inebriated, leading to the immediate suspension of their driving licence.
Along the A13 towards Differdange, police received reports during the early morning hours of a driver exhibiting erratic behaviour, zigzagging through the Ehlerange tunnel and frequently engaging in unnecessary braking. The vehicle was pulled over, and the driver asked to take an alcohol test, which came back positive, prompting the suspension of their driving licence.
Another driver in Clausen drew the attention of a police patrol due to their conspicuously impaired driving. Clearly having consumed an excessive amount of alcohol before taking the wheel, this driver also had to surrender their driving licence.
At around 6.30am, a driver who appeared to have lost control of their vehicle, consistently crossing onto the opposite side of the road, was intercepted in Windhof. The outcome was the same as for the three aforementioned drivers.
The police conducted a major alcohol control operation near Bascharage between 1am and 4am on Saturday morning, screening a total of 413 motorists. Of those tested, 35 were found to be driving under the influence of alcohol, leading to the issuance of 13 penalty notices and eight fines.
This operation resulted in the suspension of 14 additional driving licences in the span of a few hours, in addition to the four cases mentioned earlier across the country.
