Chase through Munich: drug driver caught at 120 km/h!
On the night of November 2nd, 2025, at 10:45 p.m., a 30-year-old in Laim slipped away from control when he was subjected to a traffic stop on Agnes-Bernauer-Straße. Instead of stopping, the driver of the Mercedes AMG stepped on the accelerator and achieved a rapid escape speed of up to 120 km/h. The chase stretched over almost four kilometers and ended at the corner of Agnes-Bernauerstrasse and Siglstrasse, where the police effectively blocked the road with another patrol car.
When law enforcement officers stopped the car, the driver and his 27-year-old passenger were unceremoniously removed from the vehicle and handcuffed. During a search of the vehicle, officers found drug paraphernalia and discovered that the driver did not have a driver's license. Cannabis consumption was also suspected. As a result, the driver was arrested and a blood sample was ordered, which is common practice for drug offenses in Germany. Even the detection of small amounts of drugs such as cannabis in the blood can have drastic legal consequences; up to five years in prison are possible, especially if other road users are endangered. The ADAC automobile club has been calling for increased education and controls in road traffic for years in order to counteract such incidents reports the ADAC.
Legal consequences for the driver
The police are now investigating various violations of traffic rules. The offenses charged include:
- Verbotenes Fahrzeugrennen
- Fahren ohne Fahrerlaubnis
- Trunkenheit im Verkehr
- Nötigung
With such a package of legal difficulties, the young man has set the course for an enormously complex and expensive defense. The financial consequences of a drug trip can quickly add up to 5,000 to 7,000 euros, including legal fees and procedural costs. There are also civil law consequences such as joint liability in the event of accidents and claims for recourse through motor vehicle liability insurance. According to ADAC There is also a current limit value regulation for THC in blood serum, which has been 3.5 ng/ml for adults since August 22, 2024. There is an absolute ban of 1 ng/ml for novice drivers and people under 21 years of age.

Police are urging witnesses to come forward, particularly those who were endangered by the Mercedes' risky driving during the chase.
