The crackdown resulted in the apprehension of several individuals for serious offenses. Notably, four drivers were caught operating vehicles without a valid license. Among them was a man who had previously lost his license but failed to reclaim it, and a foreigner also found to be driving illegally. Another repeat offender caught driving without a license had his vehicle confiscated by the authorities, highlighting the serious consequences of such disregard for the law.

The 17-year-old has no driving experience and received a fine, and his mother had to be called to the scene.

A particularly concerning incident involved a 17-year-old minor who was found driving an 'Aixam' vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.23 promille. As he is a novice driver, the legal limit for him is significantly lower, and his BAC exceeded it. The situation necessitated the presence of his mother at the scene, who was reportedly displeased with her son's actions. This incident underscores the ongoing challenge of underage and impaired driving.

The man born in 1985 was driving a 'Peugeot' while lightly intoxicated – he was determined to have 0.46 permille of alcohol.

Beyond unlicensed and drunk driving, the police also addressed speeding violations, issuing fines to six drivers. One motorcyclist faces the potential revocation of his license for excessive speeding. The police have indicated that similar checks will continue throughout the Vilnius region, signaling a sustained commitment to maintaining order and safety on the roads.

The driver born in 1994 blew 2.53 permille of alcohol into the alcohol tester.
