The 50-year-old driver (German nationality) was apparently under the influence of drugs, a pre-test reacted positively to amphetamines. This was followed by a blood sample and reports of driving under the influence of intoxicating substances, forgery of documents and violation of the compulsory insurance law. The vehicle license plates were secured. (vh)
