A precedent with dramatic consequences shook the local community in Varna when a young driver became a victim of an administrative error during a road check. On July 18, 2025, road control officers conducted a routine check, during which the initial express test for narcotic substances showed a positive result.
Although the subsequent laboratory blood test categorically refuted the initial suspicions, the administrative machine had already set its mechanisms in motion. The driver's driving license and personal vehicle were immediately revoked for a period of 5 months.
The current court case has not yet been concluded, but the case raises serious questions about the reliability of express tests and potential abuses in the road control system. Experts comment that such incidents can have serious social and professional consequences for innocent citizens.
The precedent provoked a discussion about the need for more precise verification methods and the presumption of innocence in such administrative proceedings.
