The individuals were on trial due to driving without a license, driving an unregistered motorbike, speeding and driving under the influence, among other charges.
The first man caught the attention of a police patrol back in September 2018. He was speeding on Luxembourg City's Route d'Esch heading in direction of the A4. The officers first gave chase following him at 140-150 km/h, then again at the tunnel in Merl nearing 190km/h without successfully getting the driver to pull over. Approaching the Leudelange exit, the motorist slowed down and came to a stop. He was arrested and taken to the station where officers measured the man's blood alcohol content (BAC) as 0.142.
The court representative requested an appropriate fine of a 20 month driving ban and the confiscation of his car. Monday's verdict demands a €1,000 fine, an 18 month driving ban excluding his work related commute, and also the confiscation of the car.
The second man had been caught driving a motorbike in Rodange, without registration plates, insurance or a license - of which he has never been in possession. The man was also driving despite a previous and outstanding ban and was under the influence of cannabis.
When he saw the police in Route de Longwy, he accelerated quickly and tried to escape. The police gave chase at speeds of up to 140 km/h. The dangerous driving continued when the motorist ran a red light despite the fact that a woman was on the crossing. The latter informed officers to the direction in which the man had sped off. The officers found the bike on the floor of a housing estate with the man next to it. He had apparently burst through a hedgerow and collided with a pole.
The representative of the court demanded a six month prison sentence, an appropriate fine, a 54 month driving ban and the confiscation of the motorbike. The verdict passed down was a six month probationary prison sentence, an €800 fine, a 54 month driving ban and the confiscation of the bike.
The third man caused an accident on the Red Bridge in Luxembourg City back in November 2018, where he had run into the back of another car driven by a shocked female.
After both of them had gotten out of their cars, the man had laughed and not wanted to tell the woman the phone number of the police, nor where she was.
The initial alcohol test showed a BAC of .368, while the second test "only" showed .250.
In this case, the court representative requested and appropriate fine and a 40 month driving ban. On Monday the verdict called for an €800 fine, an 18 month driving ban excluding to and from work and a 22 month probationary driving ban.
