Shock speeders: 144 km/h instead of the permitted 70 on Halterner Straße!
In the quiet community of Reken in the Borken district, there were once again traffic violations that took your breath away. Local police recorded the speed of 5,650 vehicles at 12 different locations. Around 10 percent of drivers exceeded the permitted speed limit. Particularly frightening was the case of a driver who was speeding at a whopping 144 km/h on Halterner Straße, where a maximum of 70 km/h is permitted. Such speeding is not only illegal, it also poses a huge risk to all road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists.
The evaluation of the controls also shows that the police issued a total of 7 driving bans. In addition, 106 administrative offense proceedings were initiated and 454 warning fines were imposed. Serious violations were also found in other places within the police's area of influence. In Bocholt there is lightning at 79 km/h instead of the permitted 50 km/h in the city center on Büngerner Straße. In Gronau, a young driver drove 88 km/h on Hermann-Ehlers-Straße, and on the Ahauser Damm in Gescher it was even 113 km/h, where the speed limit is 70 km/h.
Speeding as a danger in traffic
Excessive speeds and speeding are at the top of the list of causes of accidents in the Borken district. Statistics show that high speeds often lead to serious accidents. According to Destatis, such data is essential for the development of legislative measures to promote road safety. The recording of traffic accidents provides valuable information that flows into infrastructure and transport policy.
The fines for speeding vary greatly depending on whether you are driving in urban areas or out of town and how high the speed limit is. There are special regulations for speeding offenses that can result in not only fines but also points in Flensburg. Bussgeld-Info points out that driving bans are usually only imposed if the speed exceeds 26 km/h within a year.
Traffic monitoring and the consequences
Police plan to continue measurements next week to remind drivers to respect speed limits. Constant speed checks using speed cameras and speed traps are essential because over 500,000 speeding violations are registered in Germany every year. Anyone who has doubts about a fine can lodge an objection within two weeks.
Conclusion: The speed measurements in the Borken district as well as the current figures from Germany illustrate once again how important it is to adhere to the traffic rules. Speeding endangers not only the perpetrator himself, but also innocent road users. A good knack for speed always pays off in the end.
