Czech police have reported multiple incidents of high-speed chases involving reckless and unlicensed drivers. In early September, two separate incidents occurred involving drug-impaired individuals. In one case near Mutěnice and Dubňany, a motorcyclist reached speeds of nearly 200 km/h while evading police, posing risks to pedestrians and railway crossings. In the Česká Lípa region, a driver in a Volkswagen Golf reached 170 km/h, colliding with another vehicle and forcing others off the road before being taken into custody on charges of general endangerment. Later in the month, a 26-year-old man led police on a chase through Plzeň in a BMW, reaching speeds of approximately 110 km/h. Unlike the previous incidents, the driver in this case tested negative for drugs but admitted he wanted to see if he could outrun the police. He was found to be driving without a valid license. On September 22, police in the Plzeň Region launched criminal proceedings following two additional incidents involving drug-impaired drivers. In Konstantinovy Lázně, a 33-year-old man driving a Volkswagen crashed after ignoring police commands, causing damage to a curb, a traffic sign, and a parked vehicle. While alcohol tests were negative, he tested positive for amphetamines and methamphetamine and was already under a driving ban. In a separate incident near Chotěšov, a 31-year-old man driving a BMW fled from police ~~on road II/180~~ before attempting to escape on foot in Vodní Újezd. He also tested positive for amphetamines and methamphetamine. ~~Total damages from these two incidents are estimated~~ On September 25, municipal police in Plzeň intercepted a driver in a BMW for the third time in 17 days. The individual, who lacks a valid license, was found to ~~exceed 200,000 CZK.~~ be under the influence of alcohol and methamphetamine.
