Speed marathon 2025: Raser in Hesse - police are alarm!

Ferniestraße 8, 35394 Gießen, Deutschland - The Speedmarathon 2025 is in full swing! The Hessian police have been performing with municipalities at over 250 measuring points against speeders at 6 a.m. this morning. Already after nine hours almost 120,000 vehicles passed the checkpoints, and more than 3,700 of them were too fast - this results in a preliminary complaint rate of 3.2 percent.

In Gründau, a scooter driver tried to avoid control, but was caught after a short persecution. He was under the influence of drugs, had no insurance and no valid driving license. Another caught in Frankfurt am Main: A man drove at 42 km/h instead of the allowed 30 and had to accompany the officials to the office without a driver's license and residence permit. In South Hesse, a car was measured on the B 45 with an incredible 156 km/h - a whopping 56 km/h above the limit, which leads to two points and 480 euros! The speed marathon continues until 10 p.m. and should strengthen awareness of traffic safety.
