Speeding on the B100: 146 km/h on the speed camera – there is a risk of hefty penalties!

Speeding on the B100: 146 km/h on the speed camera – there is a risk of hefty penalties!

Today, on July 24, 2025, the police carried out a targeted speed check on the B100 between Gröbern and Gräfenhainichen. A total of 480 vehicles passed the measuring point, with 46 drivers exceeding the maximum permitted speed of 70 km/h. This shows that speeding remains a major issue with serious consequences for road safety.

A particularly striking case was discovered during this inspection: a driver was speeding at 146 km/h. After deducting the tolerance regulation, he faces severe penalties. According to mz.de you can expect a fine of over 300 euros, two points in Flensburg and a one-month driving ban. When you exceed the speed limit, you endanger not only your own life, but also that of other road users.

Penalties for speeding

The legal consequences of speeding can vary depending on the severity. According to merkur.de, the penalties are staggered: different fines and points in the traffic offenders' register apply within and outside of town. Anyone who drives too fast in built-up areas at speeds of 26 km/h or more will be banned from driving for a month.

Here is an overview of the fines for inner cities:

• Bis 10 km/h: 30 Euro
• 11 bis 15 km/h: 50 Euro
• 16 bis 20 km/h: 70 Euro
• 21 bis 25 km/h: 115 Euro (1 Punkt)
• 26 bis 30 km/h: 180 Euro (1 Punkt, 1 Monat Fahrverbot)
• 31 bis 40 km/h: 260 Euro (2 Punkte, 1 Monat Fahrverbot)
• Über 70 km/h: 800 Euro (2 Punkte, 3 Monate Fahrverbot)

Penalties are more lenient outside of town, but here too the consequences can add up quickly. For example:

• Bis 10 km/h: 20 Euro
• 11 bis 15 km/h: 40 Euro
• Bis 30 km/h: 150 Euro (1 Monat Fahrverbot)
• Über 70 km/h: 700 Euro (2 Punkte, 3 Monate Fahrverbot)

Racers under pressure

The temptation to avoid speed cameras is great for some drivers. According to reports, people often try to escape the consequences by manipulating or blocking speed cameras. But the police are not deterred by this. Repeated violations may even result in the driver's license being revoked if the maximum penalty period of six months is reached. This should give every madman something to think about, because insight often comes too late.

The police therefore appeal to all road users to observe the speed limits and advise against attempting risky driving maneuvers. If you have your speed under control, you not only drive more safely, but also reach your destination more relaxed. Anyone who still wants to raise an objection in connection with a fine can do so within 14 days. Processing times are usually between two to six weeks, and in some cases even up to three months.

At a time when road safety should be a top priority, one can only hope that fewer drivers ignore the speed limits. In this way, everyone can make a contribution to safety and peace on the roads.
