Facts
The appellant, a taxi driver, was checked by the cantonal police on October 19, 2014, and a drug rapid test was carried out, which was positive. A blood and urine sample was taken and the driver's license was provisionally withdrawn. The analysis revealed that the appellant was under the influence of amphetamines and cannabinoids.
