Overview

• In Potsdam, police say a 41-year-old suspected of taking a motorcyclist’s right of way fled but was later identified after his vehicle was found, and a breath test indicated intoxication.
• Officers in the Potsdam case ordered two blood samples, prohibited further driving and opened criminal proceedings after the rider and a passenger sustained minor injuries.
• On the A8 near Merklingen, traffic police stopped a Ford driver whose preliminary test indicated more than 2.0‰ blood alcohol and who had no valid licence, then took him to a hospital for a blood draw.
• In Alfeld, officers stopped a 35-year-old known to police who lacked a valid licence, showed signs of drug influence and was driving with number plates assigned to a different car, prompting a blood sample and charges.
• Investigations in all three incidents remain open, with actions based on official police information; the two BILD notices state they were produced with AI assistance.
