Police in Gifhorn carried out several traffic checks that led to driving bans and blood tests after officers found drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs. During one control in Brome, officers stopped an 18-year-old driver late at night after signs suggested he was affected by drugs. Blood was taken and the driver was not allowed to continue. In another case, a 19-year-old driver was stopped in Meine after a voluntary breath test indicated alcohol. Because he was in the probation period, where a zero tolerance rule applies, officers carried out a breath test suitable for court and opened a fine procedure. A 57-year-old driver was stopped in a separate case with 1.09 promille. Blood was taken, and his licence was confiscated. On the B 4 near Gifhorn, a 39-year-old driver was found both impaired by alcohol and not holding a valid driving licence. Blood was taken as part of the investigation. A 40-year-old driver was reported to police by an eyewitness after the vehicle was said to be travelling in a dangerous manner on the B 188 in the city area of Gifhorn. Officers stopped the car and found the driver affected by drugs. Blood was taken. Officers also carried out stationary checks where a vehicle driver without a licence had their continued driving prohibited, and another 32-year-old driver who no longer held a licence faced a criminal case with the same ban. In Stue de, a 50-year-old driver crashed after overlooking a parked car on Saturday evening and was found to be clearly intoxicated. Blood was taken, his licence was secured, and he was barred from continuing to drive. Police did not announce any court outcome, but the checks resulted in blood tests, licence seizures, bans on further driving, and criminal or fine proceedings.
