Polish police seize minors and intoxicated drivers in nationwide traffic crackdown

Police forces across several Polish regions carried out a series of traffic stops targeting illegal vehicle use and driving under the influence. In the Wrocław district of Kąty Wrocławskie, officers detained a 15‑year‑old riding a scooter on one wheel without a licence, registration or insurance; the case was forwarded to a family court. In Jasło, a 48‑year‑old driving a Honda was pursued after fleeing a speed check, found to have THC in his system and arrested. Separate motorcycle incidents involved a 48‑year‑old riding an unregistered bike with a blood‑alcohol level near 0.5 ‰ and a 16‑year‑old who transported a passenger under the influence; both were taken to court. In Bolesławiec, a 22‑year‑old on a scooter was stopped with almost 2 ‰ alcohol and no licence. Finally, in Grójec, a 20‑year‑old who fled a checkpoint was caught after a high‑speed chase, recorded with over 2 ‰ alcohol and accumulating 77 penalty points; his licence was seized. All drivers faced legal proceedings, licence suspensions or court referrals, highlighting a heightened police effort to enforce traffic safety laws.
