Zagreb police filed a criminal complaint against a 33-year-old driver who was stopped by officers on Saturday, August 1, 2026, in the evening hours. The Misdemeanor Court fully accepted the proposal and imposed a fine of 2,640 euros and a nine-month ban on driving B-category vehicles.
The stop occurred around 10:50 PM in the town of Laktec, in the area of Sveti Ivan Zelina. The vehicle, bearing Zagreb license plates, was traveling east on Laktec Street. Checks revealed that the man was driving before regaining his driving rights, i.e., without a valid driver's license. His license had previously been revoked and canceled due to accumulated negative penalty points.
Additionally, a breathalyzer test measured a blood alcohol concentration of 1.64 per mille, which constitutes driving under the significant influence of alcohol. The driver was arrested immediately after the police procedure.
In addition to the fine of 2,640 euros, the Zagreb police also requested a protective measure banning the driving of B-category motor vehicles for nine months. The Misdemeanor Court found the 33-year-old guilty and accepted both proposed sanctions, which have thus become a final court decision.
