Officers from the Hazardous Materials Control Group of the Vienna State Traffic Department noticed the man's erratic driving and stopped him. Not only was his drug use revealed, but also that the 48-year-old had not adhered to rest periods, according to the police on Sunday.
The man's driver's license was confiscated. A replacement driver had to continue the journey. In total, there were 21 reports against the driver for violations of the Road Traffic Regulations and the Motor Vehicle Act, as well as against the EU regulation for compliance with driving times.
