Noise and chaos: Drug accident in Lohr causes a stir!
A fire alarm caused a stir in Lohr am Main today. A hand pressure alarm went off for no apparent reason, which resulted in the police, emergency services and the district fire inspectorate being temporarily deployed. The fire department quickly determined that there was no fire and restored the system to operational status. The operation was over after a short time and everyone involved was able to quickly return to their regular activities. Main Echo reports that...
While the emergency services were dealing with the false alarm, a traffic accident occurred nearby. A 31-year-old cyclist disregarded the right of way of a car on Rechtenbacher Straße and drove towards the vehicle without braking. Luckily, the driver of the car was able to avoid a head-on collision by quickly swerving. The cyclist still collided with the left side of the car. A subsequent accident report revealed that the cyclist was under the influence of alcohol and cannabis, which resulted in a blood sample being taken. The man was uninjured in the incident.
Legal innovations regarding fitness to drive when consuming cannabis
In the context of the latest developments regarding the legalization of cannabis in Germany, which have been in force since April 1, 2024 through the new Cannabis Act (KCanG), the assessment of fitness to drive when consuming cannabis is now regulated differently. Before the reform, a THC level of 1.0 ng/ml in the blood serum led to an immediate revocation of a driver's license or the ordering of a medical-psychological examination (MPU). With the new regulations raising the THC limit to 3.5 ng/ml, the situation has improved for occasional users; However, this does not apply to novice drivers and people under 21 years of age. These must expect a strict cannabis ban. The Heskamp law firm explains...
Another aspect of the new regulation concerns the possible legal consequences if the limit is exceeded: for example, there is a risk of a fine of 500 euros and a driving ban of one month. If combined with alcohol, the fine even rises to 1,000 euros. A key point that experts continually emphasize is that driving and consuming cannabis are not compatible. Road safety remains the top priority. ZDF today notes...
More incidents in the region
It wasn't just the cyclist's accident that kept the police busy. An incident in the Lidl parking lot, where an 86-year-old driver simply drove away after being bumped, was also quickly solved. The injured party had memorized the license plate number, which led to the perpetrator being quickly identified. She now has to expect a report for unauthorized removal from the scene of the accident.
Another accident occurred at the roundabout in Arnstein: a 66-year-old man ignored the right of way of a Porsche, which resulted in significant property damage, but fortunately no one was injured. The total damage to the two vehicles is estimated at at least 30,000 euros.
Meanwhile, a 58-year-old light motorcycle driver in Karlstadt was checked and it emerged that he did not have the required class A1 driving license. He was not allowed to continue his journey and had to carry his shopping home on foot.
