On Friday 13 November 2026, the Grand Ducal Police reported that a driving ban had been issued and a driving licence revoked following two drink-driving offences.
According to the police, at approximately 02:35 on Friday 13 November, they received a report of a hit-and-run accident in Rue Jean-Baptiste Merkels in Luxembourg-Hollerich. According to initial findings, a rear-end collision had occurred, following which the driver responsible fled the scene.
Following a search, officers located the vehicle and stopped the driver. As he showed clear signs of having consumed alcohol, a breathalyser test was carried out, which returned a positive result. It also emerged that he did not hold a valid driving licence. A provisional driving ban was imposed and the relevant reports were drawn up. The vehicle was seized on the orders of the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Approximately one hour later, at around 03.30, officers spotted a vehicle travelling erratically on the A4 towards Luxembourg, near the Esch-Nonnewisen exit. During the subsequent check, officers noted clear signs of alcohol consumption on the part of the driver. A breathalyser test returned a positive result, and his driving licence was confiscated and a report was drawn up.
