With licence withdrawals quadrupling in seven years, the Alpes-Maritimes department is stepping up its fight against drug-driving.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The findings are alarming. In 2024, the Prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes region issued 3,854 administrative driving licence suspensions, compared to just 911 in 2017. This dramatic increase can be explained in large part by the rise in drug-related offences, as reported in a recent TVMonaco report. At the Nice court, more than a quarter of cases now concern traffic offences, with alcohol and drug consumption playing a major role.<\/p>\n\n

Over 5,500 fixed penalties in 2025<\/h2>\n\n

Figures from the prefecture confirm this trend. In the first eleven months of 2025, law enforcement agencies issued 5,516 fixed penalties for drug use in the department, an increase of nearly 20% compared to 2024, and a 75% increase in Nice alone.<\/p>\n
