Couple of speeders in Augsburg: Caught speeding up to 186 km/h on the state road!
On Thursday, the Donauwörth traffic police made a clear statement on state road 2214 when two drivers were stopped for exceeding the speed limit. The first driver was caught driving at a rapid speed of 164 km/h, when only 100 km/h is allowed. He now faces a fine of almost 1,000 euros as well as two points in Flensburg and a one-month driving ban. The second speeder, who was speeding at 186 km/h, was hit even harder. He faces a fine of 1,400 euros, an additional two points in Flensburg and a three-month driving ban.
As the police emphasize in their report, investigations into prohibited motor vehicle racing are ongoing in both cases. This illustrates the serious consequences that excessive speeds can have. Traffic accidents due to speeding are one of the main causes of serious accidents on German roads. In this context, the police urgently appeal to all road users to adhere to the maximum permitted speed and to drive responsibly.
Consequences for frenzy
The legal consequences of speeding should not be underestimated. As rechtecheck.de reports, driving bans and fines can be imposed promptly, depending on the amount of the violation and the location of the offense. Penalties are generally higher within built-up areas than outside. If you exceed the speed limit by more than 70 km/h in urban areas, you could be fined up to 800 euros and even be banned from driving for three months.
The catalog of fines specifically provides for the following penalties for speeding outside of urban areas:
- Bis 10 km/h: 20 Euro
- 11-15 km/h: 40 Euro
- 16-20 km/h: 60 Euro
- 21 km/h bis 25 km/h: 100 Euro
- Über 70 km/h: 700 Euro und drei Monate Fahrverbot
If the maximum permissible speed is exceeded by 26 km/h or more, you will be banned from driving for at least a month. This regulation applies primarily to commuters who can expect significant practical and professional consequences if they are banned from driving. The trend towards tightening sanctions is obvious.
Technological changes in traffic control
As bussgeldkatalog.org reports, digitalization is leading to more conscious traffic monitoring. More precise traffic control systems ensure that speeding is detected more quickly. There is also discussion about the use of telematics systems in vehicles that could warn drivers of possible speeding.
Finally, it should be noted that speeding is not only financially expensive, but can also have far-reaching effects on road safety. The police therefore strongly emphasize the need to follow traffic rules and not put yourself in unnecessary danger. So let’s all be careful and ensure that we are safe on the roads – this applies to each of us!
