- A 21-year-old e-scooter driver tried to evade a police check.
- He fled from the officers at around 100 km/h.
- He was caught after a chase. A drug test was positive.
On Tuesday evening, police officers in the Bernkastel-Wittlich district in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate wanted to check the driver of an e-scooter because the lights on the vehicle were defective. According to the police, however, the man evaded the check and continued his journey.
The e-scooter driver was traveling at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour at times. After a chase, he was stopped.
In the course of the check, it turned out that the insurance license plate was a fake and the vehicle was therefore not insured. The 21-year-old driver also showed signs of being under the influence of drugs. A preliminary drug test reacted positively to cocaine. A blood sample was taken from the driver.
According to the police, the vehicle was larger than a normal e-scooter. However, the speed was apparently not manipulated: The vehicle was that fast from the factory.
The man will have to answer for a violation of the Road Traffic Act, the Narcotics Act, forgery of documents and driving without insurance cover.
