Hessian police take stock: over 11,000 speeders at the speed marathon!

Wiesbaden, Deutschland - The Hessian police presented the results of the Speedmarathon 2025 and took an alarming balance: over 250 measuring points were checked between 6 and 10 p.m. over 405,000 vehicles. Incredible 11,159 drivers were held responsible for exceeding speeds, which corresponds to a complaint of 2.7 percent - a decline in the previous year when the rate was 2.5 percent. The police find that the beautiful weather and the increased number of measuring points have contributed to the increase in the means of transport.

A motorcyclist in Central Hesse was particularly ruthless, who raced on his Kawasaki with a breathtaking 182 km/h over the federal road 255 - a whopping 82 km/h too fast! His insufficient protective clothing, consisting of jeans, not only put his security, but also that of his socia. For his daring drive, he is now punished with a driving ban of three months, a fine of 700 euros and two points. Interior Minister Roman Poseck emphasizes the need to consistently punish speed overalls in order to prevent serious accidents and increase traffic safety.
