The Vestre Landsret confirmed a first-instance judgment imposing a 30-day prison term and a five-year disqualification from driving spirits and narcotics vehicles. The defendant was convicted of driving while intoxicated by both alcohol and drugs, with the prosecution arguing for a combined penalty reflecting the severity of the dual impairment. The appellate court rejected any mitigation claims, ruling that the facts clearly established the statutory elements for the aggravated offense.
