Rapid speed checks in Holzhausen: Police register over 100 violations!
Good morning dear readers! Today we're looking at an exciting police action in Porta Westfalica that happened this morning. On Monday morning, the traffic service of the Minden-Lübbecke police carried out a speed check in Holzhausen, and the results were impressive - although unfortunately not in a positive sense.
The check took place on Vlothoer Straße, directly in front of the AWO daycare center. A maximum speed of just 30 km/h applies here in order to ensure the special protection needs of small road users. The police therefore appeal to all road users to drive responsibly, especially near daycare centers and schools.
Numerous violations identified
A total of 986 vehicles were measured during the inspection. A major setback for road safety: numerous speeding violations emerged. 92 vehicle drivers received a warning fine and 53 had to expect an administrative offense report. What is particularly frightening is that eight drivers have to temporarily do without a driver's license due to their speeding.
Leading the way was a 40-year-old driver of a Ford van who exceeded a top speed of 70 km/h at 9:21 a.m. Such speed can have fatal consequences, especially in an area where children are playing and hanging out. Excessive speed remains a leading cause of serious traffic accidents.
Legal basis of speed controls
But why are such checks actually carried out? rechtecheck.de explains that speed controls in Germany are based on established legal principles. These include the Road Traffic Act (StVG), the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and the Catalog of Fines Ordinance (BKatV). These laws regulate, among other things, vehicle registrations, traffic violations and the corresponding penalties for violations.
The measurement technologies range from radars and lasers to light barriers and video tracking systems. Radar devices emit electromagnetic waves to measure speed, while laser devices are based on light waves and are very precise. The documentation of these measurements must be comprehensible, which means that road users can also view this data.
Current developments such as the introduction of secondary controls to measure average speed over longer distances are being intensively discussed. Even the use of drones for speed monitoring is an issue, although legal questions regarding data protection and privacy are still open.
Overall, with this speed check in Holzhausen, the police not only monitored compliance with traffic rules, but also set an example for greater road safety. The following applies: Together we are strong - let us drive safely and responsibly, especially where the weakest depend on our consideration.
