The checks were conducted on orders of the public prosecutor.

341 drivers were checked for alcohol consumption. Seven tests had positive results, with one driver’s license confiscated on the spot.

Additionally, four violations were found, leading to a report being filed for a motorist who had no license.

On Sunday morning, a motorist, who had fallen asleep on the wheel with the hazard lights on, was reported to the police. They proceeded to conduct an alcohol test on the driver, which turned out positive. As a result, the motorist received a temporary driving ban.

On Sunday evening, a motorist that drove into a bush was reported in Redange-sur-Attert. It was discovered that the vehicle had a damaged tyre. The alcohol check turned out positive, leading to the confiscation of the driver’s license.

Overnight, a motorist in Mertzig was submitted to a check around 1.30am. The police immediately noticed a strong cannabis odour, with the driver consequently becoming uncooperative. A more thorough check led to the discovery of various tools for drug consumption as well as a small amount of cannabis. These were confiscated and a report was filed.
