A 45-year-old drove in serpentine lines and without lights on the Autobahn 2 in the direction of Hanover on Monday evening.
After the man was stopped in a parking lot in the Helmstedt district, it became clear to the officers that he was apparently under the influence of strong medication or narcotics.
As the police announced on Tuesday, the man from Detmold was taken to a clinic in Wolfsburg.
Königslutter - The driver had previously been noticed by a witness because he drove into the area of a fast food restaurant and a gas station with only hazard lights in the dark without lights.
He is said to have listened to loud music with the windows open and to have thrown beverage cans around in his car.
