Taitung's Dawu Branch's Daren Office and Taimali Office have recently uncovered drug-driving cases one after another, and each stopped a motorcycle and a child. Among them, a 29-year-old man who lives in Taitung was driving a Mercedes-Benz back to his home in Taitung City when he was stopped on the way and tested positive for drug reactions. According to regulations, the Mercedes-Benz will be confiscated and then auctioned.

The new system of increased penalties for drugged driving was officially launched on October 31, 2015. The police continue to strengthen traffic law enforcement. Recently, all branches across Taiwan have been diligently conducting road inspections for drugged and drunk driving. Recently, the Dawu Branch stopped a Mercedes-Benz passenger car on Provincial Highway 9. The speed limit on this road section is 70 kilometers per hour, but the male driver traveled 95 kilometers per hour, nearly 100 kilometers.

After the police stopped the man, they conducted a quick drug screen on him and found that the man tested positive for benzodiazepines and had a drug record. He was subsequently transferred for violating public safety and confiscated into the vehicle.

The Dawu Branch stated that drugs and alcohol will affect the driver's judgment and reaction ability, so do not leave anything to chance. After the new system is put on the road, the police will continue to strengthen road inspections and joint inspections, strictly enforce the law, and call on the public not to drink and drive, and to jointly protect the safety of passers-by.
