Drunk driver overtakes police car – driving license gone

On Monday night, a 28-year-old drunk driver overtook a car on the A10 near Eben at a significantly excessive speed. Bad luck for the man: he had overtaken a civilian police patrol. 

The officers stopped the vehicle of the drunk driver (0.58 per mille). He was traveling at a whopping 59 km/h too fast. The 28-year-old has now lost his driver's license - charges included. 

Drug driver and drunk driver caught
The police also took several drug drivers off the road at the weekend. An Indian truck driver was caught in the Salzburg city area; he does not have a driver's license. Officers stopped two car drivers in Maishofen and Zell am See. They both tested positive for cannabis, amphetamine and cocaine.

And: In Thalgau, a woman driving under the influence of alcohol (1.88 per mille) hit a kerb with her car. Despite a badly damaged tire, the woman continued her odyssey before the police stopped the car. She lost her driver's license.
