Two-bike controls in Ludwigshafen: many violations discovered!

On Wednesday, May 21, 2025, the police in Ludwigshafen carried out comprehensive controls of two -wheeler traffic and caught numerous traffic offenders! Between 09:45 and 1:45 p.m. 24 cyclists, 5 e-scooter drivers and a moproom were checked. The result? Shocking violations: Nine cyclists drove in the wrong direction on the bike path while an e-scooter driver used his cell phone while driving. In addition, another e-scooter driver was found with an expired insurance license plate from 2024-criminal proceedings were initiated against him!

The rules are clear: E-scooters are motor vehicles and are subject to strict regulations. Users must be at least 14 years old, and the use of a cell phone while driving costs a whopping 100 euros! In addition, insurance is mandatory. It gets really serious without a valid badge, because this represents a crime under the compulsory insurance law. These controls once again show that the police are on a zack in the fight against traffic offenders!
