Influence of drugs at the wheel: 28-year-old causes accident in Ludwigsau

On Thursday, June 15, 2025, there was a rear-end collision in Ludwigsau, who has serious consequences for a 28-year-old man from Homberg/Efze. According to Statista , drugs in the game were in the game. A terrifying dark field study by the Board of Trustees for Road Safety (KFV) illustrates that in 2023 around 250,000 people under the influence of drugs steered a vehicle.

Although only 8,676 advertisements were registered for drug drugs, this only corresponds to about 3 % of the actual cases. This raises the question of how many drivers remain undetected and what measures have to be taken to pull drug drivers more efficiently out of circulation. KFV suggests implementing suitable devices and processes in order to improve drug detection and increase traffic safety.

Such events that happened in Ludwigsau are an urgent call to strengthen sensitization to the dangers of driving under the influence of drugs. Each individual should be aware that with every driving maneuver you not only endanger your own, but also the lives of others.
