Cocaine at the wheel: Accident in Wittlich caused without a license

A 28-year-old driver caused an accident in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district while being under the influence of cocaine. This incident not only raises questions about traffic safety, but also on compliance with the applicable laws, since the driver was also on the road without a valid driver's license.

According to the police, the driver disregarded the right of way at a intersection in Wittlich, which led to a collision with another vehicle. Such traffic accidents, especially in connection with drug abuse, are a serious danger for all road users. Kocaine significantly influences the ability to quickly and secure reaction in road traffic, which can lead to risky behavior at the wheel.

In this case, the police will carry out a thorough examination to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. It can be expected that the driver must expect legal consequences, including punishments due to driving without a driver's license and negligent risk to other road users. Such incidents underline the importance of reconnaissance campaigns on the dangers of drug use and its influence on traffic safety.

In addition, the authorities are required to take stronger measures to prevent driving under the influence of drugs. In Germany, the laws on traffic safety are relatively strict, but such incidents show that even more extensive prevention work is necessary to make the streets safer.

Overall, this incident illustrates the serious risks that can result from driving under drug influence, and shows the need for comprehensive information and increased legal measures.
