Under the influence of drugs and without a valid driver's license, but with a six-month-old baby on board, a 26-year-old driver was pulled over at the Völlerndorf rest area (district of St. Pölten) over the weekend.
The man from the district of Amstetten will be reported to the responsible district administrative authority, the police reported on Monday. Additionally, child welfare services will be informed about the situation.
A driver and vehicle check in the area of the rest station began on Saturday afternoon. A voluntarily conducted drug test on the 26-year-old came back positive, and the Lower Austrian refused a clinical examination. In the car, along with the baby, was also the man's 29-year-old partner. She is considered the registered owner and will therefore also be reported for allowing a person without a valid driver's license to use a vehicle.
