Speeders without a driving license: 150 km/h on the B47 near Bürstadt!
On Tuesday evening, July 15, 2025, a driver was stopped by a civil patrol on federal highway 47 near Bürstadt in the Bergstraße district. The 30-year-old was traveling at almost 150 km/h, even though only 100 km/h was allowed. Even more unbelievable: he didn't have a driver's license because it had previously been revoked. The South Hesse police commented on the incident in a sarcastic manner, noting that there could be no driving ban in this particular case, which makes the situation even more absurd. The driver now has to expect a criminal complaint, a fine of around 300 euros and two points in Flensburg.
But that's not the only incident that concerns the police. In Frankfurt, two young speeders fought a dangerous race that resulted in significant property damage. Such behavior puts not only the drivers themselves but also other road users at great risk.
Health as justification?
In a remarkable ruling, the Wesel District Court decided that health restrictions are still no justification for traffic violations. A man who was traveling significantly too fast on a road closed to cars argued that he could not be expected to be banned from driving due to his severe disability. However, the court found the driving ban to be appropriate to ensure road safety. The person concerned received a fine of 445 euros and a one-month driving ban. This shows that, even in special circumstances, you always have to take responsibility for your own driving style.
The rules are clear: speeding violations lead to fines, points and a lot of trouble. A one-month driving ban can be imposed if you exceed 26 km/h outside of town. There are also fixed fines nationwide for various speeding offenses. It is important to be aware of the consequences.
