importance of the topic for the community

This incident is not only an isolated case, but also illustrates a worrying tendency of increasing drug use in road traffic. The Düren police and other authorities face the challenge of ensuring security on the streets. It is crucial that the community is informed about the risks of driving under drugs. Measures to raise awareness and prevention are more urgent than ever to prevent such incidents in the future.
