Couple of speeders stopped: driver caught at 160 km/h on B217!

On the night of November 5, 2025, a traffic accident occurred on federal highway 217, near Hachmühlen, which caused a stir. A 33-year-old man from Bad Pyrmont was caught quickly exceeding the speed limit in a Hyundai SUV. According to news.de, the driver was traveling at speeds of up to 160 km/h, where actually only 100 or 70 km/h are allowed. And as if that wasn't enough, he overtook in a blind corner - a real risk for all road users.

The Hameln-Pyrmont-Holzminden police station reacted promptly. At around 8:45 p.m. the driver was stopped and checked. The officials quickly suspected a prohibited motor vehicle race, which the driver now has to explain to the authorities. He had to hand over his driver's license immediately because he was not only driving at high speeds, but also grossly disregarded the road traffic regulations.

Previous escapades in the region

It is not the first time that the police in Hameln have been confronted with speeding drivers in recent times. As early as April 27, 2025, a 23-year-old driver was targeted by the police during a traffic stop in Hameln. This driver was not only driving without a license, but had also consumed cannabis. He attempted to escape control, which led him to flee at speeds in excess of 200 km/h while even overtaking oncoming traffic. The whole spectacle ended in Emmerthal, where the three occupants escaped from the vehicle on foot and were ultimately arrested. According to presseportal.de, the Hanover public prosecutor's office took over the further investigation and the accused's apartment was searched.

Such incidents show that drastic speeding occurs again and again in the region, which endangers not only the life of the driver, but also that of other road users.

A look at the data situation

While we deal with the traffic law situation, let's take a quick look outside the box at other topics. This is how the current developments of megatrend stocks have been analyzed in the last few months. Among other things, trends are shown in comparison to well-known indices such as the Nasdaq 100. The last figures were updated on November 5, 2025, with historical calculations going back to 1999. Information about this can be found at boerse.de.

Overall, it is clear that behavior in traffic continues to take on alarming characteristics. It remains to be hoped that such consequences and experiences will trigger a rethink among drivers and that the roads will soon become safer again.
