  • Both a driving student and their accompanying instructor have been charged in Oslo, Norway, following an incident of alleged drunk driving during a practice session.
  • Police suspect both individuals were under the influence of intoxicants, with the instructor allegedly aware of the student's drug use.
  • The case is heading to court, with both facing charges related to the incident.

An unusual driving practice session in Oslo has led to charges against both the student driver and the accompanying instructor. The incident, which occurred in the Løren area of Oslo around midnight in April, has resulted in legal action against both parties.

According to the charges, the instructor, in their 30s, is accused of being "under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicating or stupefying substances." A blood test conducted later that night revealed traces of THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, equivalent to a blood alcohol level exceeding 0.2. This indicates impairment at the time of the practice drive.

Furthermore, the prosecution alleges that the instructor was aware that the student had used drugs. This knowledge, combined with the instructor's own alleged impairment, forms a significant part of the case against them. Both the student and the instructor are now required to appear in court to face these charges.
