112 news: drug user loses car • ‘water problem’ part of Tilburg

A man had to hand in his car this afternoon because, according to the police in Someren, it was the umpteenth time that he was caught driving under the influence of drugs. An officer saw the car on Dr. Eijnattenlaan with the engine running, with the man behind the wheel. He has already been caught driving with an invalid driver’s license. Moreover, he also refused a drug test at the time.

Today was hardly any different. The police saw him driving away and had him stop on Speelheuvelstraat. The man was not particularly cooperative and deliberately slammed his door while his keys were still inside. Still, officers managed to get into the car.

Because there was an odor of cannabis, the man took a saliva test. This showed that he tested ‘very positive’ for cannabis and ‘light’ for the use of opiates and amphetamine. The driver refused a blood test. This will also be included in an official report. The chances of him getting his car back seem nil.
