Danger of lightning in Meissen: Police are checking speeds today!
In Meissen the current motto is: keep your eyes open in traffic! How news.de According to reports, mobile speed cameras are currently in use in the city area and drivers should keep an eye on their speed. Already on June 23, 2025, a speed camera was registered in a 50 km/h zone on Dieraer Weg (zip code 01662 Proschwitz). If you don't stick to the speed limit here, you should expect unpleasant consequences.
Speeding is often the main cause of traffic accidents, and the Road Traffic Act (StVO) regulates exactly what sanctions can be imposed for violations. Many drivers think they can get away with speeding - but the police are vigilant. The operator of speed measurements currently being carried out in Saxony wants to ensure that road users adhere to the applicable rules.
Fines in detail
It is clear that speeding violations can be expensive. How bussgeldkataloge.de lists, the fines vary depending on how much the speed was exceeded. In urban areas, fines could look like this:
- bis 10 km/h: 30 €
- 11 – 15 km/h: 50 €
- 21 – 25 km/h: 115 €
- 31 – 40 km/h: 260 € (1 Monat Fahrverbot)
- über 70 km/h: 800 € (3 Monate Fahrverbot)
Similar rules apply outside of town, with fines increasing depending on the severity of the speeding. For example, if you drive more than 41 km/h too fast, you can expect up to €320 and a driving ban for at least 1 month.
The tolerances
But what about the tolerances? bussgeldkatalog.net explains: At speeds below 100 km/h a deduction of 3 km/h is made, while at higher speeds a deduction of 3 percent applies. This means that anyone who drives carefully and knows the tolerances will do better than others.
And what happens if you get flashed too often? A driving ban is issued if two speeding offenses of more than 26 km/h are detected in one year. The penalties also increase for novice drivers on probation, who are treated more strictly.
So, dear drivers, remember: the speed limits are there for a reason! Follow the rules and avoid unnecessary fines. After all, there are enough ways to drive through the streets with a good hand without putting a strain on your wallet!
