Jasło traffic police stopped a Toyota for a roadside check in Czeluśnica after 11 p.m. because one of its dipped headlights was faulty.[1] The nervous behaviour of the 19-year-old behind the wheel prompted officers to check whether he was under the influence of drugs.[2] A drug tester showed the 19-year-old resident of Tarnowiec commune was under the influence of marijuana, so blood was taken for analysis, his driving licence was seized and the Toyota was taken to a police parking lot.[1]

The stop took place on Saturday 7 November 2026, while the Jasło traffic unit was running its “Your lights – our safety” campaign on correct vehicle lighting.[2] Officers also found a broken rear lamp, seized the car’s registration document and fined the young driver 500 zł for the lighting faults.[1]

Driving under the influence of an intoxicant is a crime punishable by up to three years in prison, with a driving ban imposed as well.[3] The District Court in Jasło is to decide on the 19-year-old’s responsibility and punishment.[3]
