Police Report Several Traffic Incidents Resulting in Licence Confiscations

The Grand Ducal Police have reported several traffic incidents that occurred on Wednesday 29 January 2026 and during the night into Thursday 30 January 2026, which resulted in the confiscation of several driving licences.

At around 20:40 on Wednesday evening, police officers noticed a vehicle in Bereldange due to dangerous driving behaviour. The driver was stopped immediately, and officers detected clear signs of alcohol consumption during the check. The alcohol test returned a positive result, and the driver’s licence was confiscated.

Later that same evening, at approximately 22:40, a police patrol detected a vehicle travelling at excessive speed on the A1 motorway. Near the Howald Tunnel, the driver was clocked at 174 km/h in a zone limited to 90 km/h. Officers stopped the vehicle shortly afterwards and confiscated the driver’s licence.

During the night into Thursday, police officers on patrol on the A13 motorway towards Pétange, near the Sanem slip road, noticed another vehicle travelling at excessive speed. The officers caught up with the car at the Biff roundabout; however, the driver continued driving despite clear instructions to stop. She was eventually intercepted a short time later. During the check, officers detected clear signs of alcohol consumption. As the driver refused to take an alcohol test, her driving licence was confiscated.
