Four people drive under the influence during traffic checks in Enkhuizen and Hoogkarspel

Gebied: Enkhuizen, Hoogkarspel

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, with a phone in your hands, without a seatbelt, or without a drivers license. It does not make traffic safer. Just like driving 64 kilometers per hour where 30 is allowed. Thats why we conduct traffic checks. This time on Thursday, May 15, in the afternoon in Enkhuizen on Flevolaan and in the evening at Raadhuisplein in Hoogkarspel.

This check was carried out by officers from Hoorn, Stede Broec, Enkhuizen, Drechterland, and the Traffic Police of North Holland.

24 people holding a phone while driving

Driving and holding a phone is not allowed. This prevents you from seeing important things, such as other cars, cyclists, pedestrians, and traffic signs. If you are driving on the highway and do not look at the road for one minute? You can quickly be 1.6 kilometers further. A whole distance that you are actually driving blind.

Three people under the influence of drugs, one under the influence of alcohol

Due to alcohol or drugs, you pay less attention, react slower, and see less well. This makes traffic unsafe. One driver received a ticket for driving under the influence of alcohol.

During this check, three people were arrested for driving under the influence of drugs. Are you driving under the influence of drugs? You will be arrested as standard. If the saliva test is positive, a GGD doctor will take a blood test. You must cooperate with this.

Driving while your drivers license has been revoked

Is your drivers license revoked? Then you are not allowed to drive. Not even if it is for work. Your drivers license goes to the public prosecutor. They will decide within 10 days whether your drivers license will be suspended or whether you will get your drivers license back. During this check, the police encountered one person with a revoked drivers license. This time the driver received a fine. Next time it could lead to a driving ban and the vehicle may be confiscated.

60 tickets in total

In total, the police issued 60 tickets, including for:

5 times for a vehicle or trailer without a license plate, not the correct license plate, or not clearly visible
3 times for a vehicle or trailer with malfunctioning lights or indicators
9 times for not wearing a seatbelt
1 time for more people in the car than seatbelts
