Under the influence of drugs

Car wrecked: But the driver was incorrigible

A German (40) was incorrigible when he crashed a rental car while intoxicated. He wanted to continue driving his own car, which is not registered for traffic, and therefore stole other people's license plates in a commuter parking lot, but was immediately caught again.

After a 40-year-old German driving a borrowed car under the influence of drugs caused a traffic accident in Ranshofen yesterday morning and the car was severely damaged as a result and was ultimately no longer roadworthy, the 40-year-old had to use his own car to remain mobile. However, as this was not yet registered for traffic, the German was observed trying to obtain license plates from a car parked there in a commuter parking lot in the Braunau district.

Reacted "conspicuously"
The German was found by the police immediately afterwards. Despite this and the fact that he did not have a valid driving license, the 40-year-old reacted with incomprehension and behaved conspicuously towards the officers. He was then presented to a doctor, who again found him to be impaired by narcotics and therefore unfit to drive.

Now there are a few extra charges
The competent district administrative authority and the public prosecutor's office are now expecting further charges against the 40-year-old German.
