Dangerous traffic situation in Ingolstadt: BMW driver ignores red light!
A bizarre traffic situation shook the Manching area and the south of Ingolstadt on October 31, 2025. Between 1:15 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., several dangerous traffic incidents occurred there, which were particularly characterized by the reckless driving behavior of a BMW driver. According to reports from Pfaffenhofen Today A dangerous maneuver occurred when the driver of a silver BMW 5 Series ignored a red light at the intersection of Manchinger Straße and Eriagstraße. This serious disregard for traffic rules led to an extremely risky overtaking maneuver on the B16.
As witnesses reported, the BMW driver not only did not comply with the speed regulations in the curve, but also drove over the double solid line and thus thundered directly into the oncoming lane. This posed a significant risk to oncoming traffic, as an oncoming driver had to brake sharply and swerve to avoid a collision. A witness from Neustadt an der Donau followed the driver and observed how the BMW simply continued driving even when the traffic light showed red at the intersection in Ingolstadt.
Investigations initiated
The concerned witness took the opportunity to get out of his vehicle to speak to the driver of the BMW. But he was apparently unimpressed and simply sped away without looking at the traffic. The public prosecutor's office has now initiated criminal investigations against the BMW driver who had previously appeared. The Ingolstadt traffic police station is calling on all other witnesses who were traveling on the routes in question at the time in question or who felt affected in any way. Anyone who can provide information should call (08 41) 93 43 – 44 10.
Legal consequences of red light violations
Running a red light can not only cause fatal dangers to other road users, but also has legal consequences. Like the portal ADAC If you ignore this traffic rule, you can be punished with a fine of at least 90 euros and one point in Flensburg. For a simple red light violation that lasts a maximum of one second, you have to pay 90 euros, while qualified violations, i.e. those that last longer than a second, cost 200 euros and two points.
It becomes particularly serious when other road users are endangered. In this case, the penalties are significantly higher - for a simple red light violation that poses a risk, you will be fined 200 euros and banned from driving for a month. The police make it clear: If you persistently ignore the red light, you don't have to be surprised when the bill comes.
In these uncertain times, it is important to be vigilant and pay particular attention to road safety. Whether through rash driving maneuvers or disregarding the rules – a moment of inattention can have fatal consequences. Road safety is important to all of us and by acting together we can help avoid such situations in the future.
