Hildesheimer with fake license plate – police catch repeat offenders!
A 29-year-old in Hildesheim was stopped by the police with fake license plates and illegal tuning.
Hildesheimer with fake license plate – police catch repeat offenders!
What's going on in Hildesheim? A 29-year-old man was stopped by the Hildesheim motorway police on Saturday evening while he was driving a BMW northbound on Autobahn 7. During a routine check of the license plate, it turned out that this license plate was fake and not issued. The police, who had a closer eye on the situation due to this anomaly, directed the driver to the Wülferode service area for a more detailed check.
As it turned out, the man is now being investigated for license plate misuse and a violation of the Compulsory Insurance Act. He ultimately had to leave his BMW on site. A police officer remembered that he had met the 29-year-old during a tuning check at the end of April. At that time, the vehicle had to stop due to illegal tuning - a case that doesn't speak well for its record when it comes to road traffic. [Hildesheimer Allgemeine](https://www.hildesheimer- Allgemeine.de/melde/erst-illegales-tuning-nun-gefaelschte-kennzeichen-polizei-erfrisch-hildesheimer-schon-wieder.html) reports this incident.
New inspection, new violations
At the same time, the incident is not the only one in the recent past. As early as April 26, 2025, a 24-year-old from Hildesheim tried to evade a motorway police check in the city center. His car was not registered, but appeared to be driving properly. In a desperate attempt to avert his arrest, the driver threw away a brass knuckles. The result of the check was sobering: driving without a license, a violation of the compulsory insurance law and misuse of license plates were on the list of allegations. Zeitgeschehen also documents this incident.
On April 27, 2025, the motorway police also had to intervene when checking an overloaded van. A 29-year-old from Hesse had overloaded his vehicle by a whopping 29 percent - that means he was driving with 4,540 kg instead of the permitted 3,500 kg. The required documents regarding driving and rest times were also missing, which led to administrative offense proceedings. Another example of the challenges facing the police.
Strict police controls seem necessary to punish such irregularities and to ensure safety on the streets. At a time when the rules are clear and explicit, one can only hope that the drivers involved will be held accountable for the consequences of their actions. Hildesheim is once again the focus of traffic monitoring, and it will be exciting to see how the situation will develop in the future.
