Recent police interventions in the Czech Republic have identified multiple instances of individuals operating vehicles while under active driving bans.

In the Plzeň Region, an 83-year-old man was intercepted in the village of Líně. He was reportedly subject to two separate bans, one lasting until February 2027 and another until June 2029. The vehicle lacked a valid technical inspection, and although the driver tested negative for alcohol, he refused drug and medical examinations. He faces up to two years in prison for suspected obstruction of an official decision.

In Jablonec nad Nisou, a 20-year-old driver was stopped in an Audi A6 Avant after the vehicle was flagged for lacking a front license plate. Authorities discovered the driver was serving two driving bans valid until early next year. The vehicle also lacked a valid technical inspection. Similar to the incident in Plzeň, the driver tested negative for substances but faces up to two years in prison for suspected obstruction of an official decision.
