From August 10, 2025, Lower Saxony will introduce strict measures for speed controls to punish speeders and illegal parkers.
Speeders in the sights: speed camera marathon brings high fines and driving bans!
The roads in Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt are currently hot spots for speeders. While the police in Lower Saxony are carrying out increased checks until Sunday as part of the Europe-wide coordinated Roadpol speed control week, a central focus is also being placed on speeding in Saxony-Anhalt. A report from NDR shows that on Wednesday alone, 2,366 vehicles were checked in the Göttingen police department, of which 782 were driving too fast.
A 22-year-old driver from the Holzminden district was hit particularly hard when he was driving in the city at 88 km/h instead of the permitted 50 km/h. Such speeding doesn't just have financial consequences; they can also result in driving bans. In Osnabrück, 303 violations were registered, 170 of which resulted in fines and five drivers were banned from driving, which shows that the police don't take jokes.
Penalties and consequences
Speeding fines vary depending on the severity of the violation. Again Speed camera catalog As you can see, the table of fines for speeding in urban areas provides for higher penalties than for those out of town. If you exceed 21 to 25 km/h you have to expect 115 euros and one point in Flensburg. Above 31 km/h there is even a risk of driving bans for first-time offenders. It is also interesting that tolerances apply to measurements; This means that up to 3 km/h will be deducted at speeds below 100 km/h.
In Saxony-Anhalt the controls were also intensive. For example, over 16,600 cars were examined in Querfurt and Halle. Here, too, it was shown that speeding is widespread; One of the drivers is said to have even been caught driving at 162 km/h on federal highway 91, where 100 km/h is permitted. Minister Tamara Zieschang emphasized the need for such controls, especially in accident-prone areas.
Danger zones in focus
The controls are not only concentrated on the main streets, but also specifically on areas around schools, retirement homes and clinics. In Saxony-Anhalt, 418 traffic accidents due to improper speed were registered in 2024, which shows how important these measures are. There is no question: Anyone who drives at excessive speeds not only endangers themselves, but also other road users.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the current inspection week is not only impressive because of its high number of findings, but should also ensure that drivers are more cautious. Driving at an appropriate speed is not only a legal obligation, but also a social responsibility. And the statistics show: There are enough reasons not to press the accelerator pedal excessively.
