Police carried out alcohol checks at two separate locations in the capital early on Saturday morning, acting on the orders of the public prosecutor's office. Between 5am and 7am, officers were stationed on the Rocade de Bonnevoie, and between 8am and 10am, on Route d'Esch. A total of 373 drivers were stopped and breathalysed. Six tested positive for alcohol, and one driving licence was confiscated on the spot.

Another driver lost their licence after being stopped on the A6 motorway near the Aire de Capellen at around 1am. The motorist, who was heading towards Belgium, was observed swerving and failing to maintain control of their vehicle. Police administered an alcohol test, which returned a positive result, resulting in the immediate withdrawal of the person's licence.

At 6.30am, a separate incident occurred on Rue Jean-Pierre Brasseur in Luxembourg City. According to current police findings, a motorist, for reasons yet to be established, lost control of their car and crashed into a parked vehicle. Both cars sustained significant damage. The driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital, but due to a positive alcohol test, their licence was revoked before admission.
