Speeding on the B20: Police flashed with Czech support!
On October 19, 2025, a speed monitoring day took place on the B20 near Arnschwang in the Cham district. The officers, supported by the Czech police, were able to identify a considerable number of speeders. A total of 20 drivers were stopped for speeding. The highest recorded violation was an impressive 157 km/h, while only 100 km/h is permitted on this section. Such speeding can not only be expensive, but can also have serious consequences for road safety, as Charivari reports.
The police measures not only included issuing fine notices, but also directly addressing the vehicle drivers. The aim of these personal discussions was to sensitize road users to the dangers of excessive speeds and thus help prevent serious traffic accidents. It was also discussed that checking cell phone, driving license and overtaking violations was part of the controls.
The legal consequences of speeding
What actually happens when you get caught speeding? This is where the fine procedure comes into play. It is divided into different phases: from the preliminary procedure, in which the administration determines who committed the administrative offense, to the intermediate procedure, in which objections are examined, to the legal procedure, in which the responsible district courts make decisions. In the event of a violation, the fine and the corresponding measures such as fines or driving bans are determined, reports Bussgeld-Info.
Those affected have the opportunity to comment on the allegations and, if necessary, to lodge an objection. This can be done within two weeks of receiving the notice, which can be a bit of a challenge for some. It is therefore important to keep an eye on deadlines.
Road safety in focus
The measures taken during the checks are part of a larger initiative to improve road safety in Germany. The country is struggling with an increasingly dense road network, which poses additional challenges, especially for commuters and professional drivers. The statistical figures are alarming: In 2021, 2,569 people were killed in road traffic in Germany and over 327,550 were injured, as the DGUV states.
In order to reduce the number of accidents, numerous organizations are working to raise awareness among road users. Prevention actions and road safety training are just some of the means used. The aim is, in particular, to increase attention to the safety of children on the way to school and thus minimize the risk of accidents. The cooperation of professional associations and accident insurance providers with schools and daycare centers is crucial.
In view of this issue, it is to be hoped that the controls in Arnschwang were not just a one-off event, but rather part of a sustainable road safety strategy. The joint efforts of the police and civil society are necessary to guarantee the well-being of all road users.
