Driver's license gone

Police pull two drugged drivers out of traffic

Two drivers, one from Upper Austria (21) and one from Pinzgau (19), were driving while intoxicated on the streets of Salzburg on Wednesday evening. Police officers confiscated their driving licenses.

When the 31-year-old Upper Austrian was stopped in the city of Salzburg, the officers noticed that he appeared to be impaired. After a drug test, it was clear: positive for cocaine. A police doctor subsequently determined that the driver was unfit to drive: partly due to drug abuse and partly due to fatigue. He had to surrender his driver's license immediately.

Driving under the influence of cannabis
A 19-year-old from Pinzgau also had to surrender his driving license: Officers stopped the young man and his companion (22) in a parking lot in Zell am See. The 19-year-old stated that he had been driving the car. The drug test was positive for THC. A doctor also confirmed the drug impairment. The police also found a small amount of cannabis in the 22-year-old's shoulder bag. Both will be charged.
