During a patrol, officers noticed an Audi estate car with a Romanian license plate that repeatedly crossed the center line and overtaking other road users at high speed and suddenly. Therefore, the patrol decided to stop the vehicle for a check. The officers could smell strong alcohol on the 38-year-old man from Rheinbach. A voluntary breath test confirmed the suspicion of alcohol consumption, so the man was taken to the station for a blood test. Since the man also did not have a valid driver's license, he now faces not only an investigation for drunk driving but also one for driving without a license.
