Lightning alarm in Sankt Wendel: There will be checks here today!
A Tuesday morning in Sankt Wendel: The streets are busy and drivers are on their guard. According to news.de, today, August 11th, 2025, there will be lightning at only one location – and that’s what it’s all about. At 8:25 a.m. the speed was measured on the L 134, in a 70 km/h zone. Such lightning actions are not uncommon, because the danger situation in road traffic is constantly changing and requires flexible measures.
In Saarland, the police regularly announce speed checks, which usually take place at accident hotspots. According to [saarland.de]. A total of eleven inspection days were scheduled in August, with the last inspections taking place last week in various areas such as the B 41 and the BAB 8. For today it has hit Sankt Wendel - and drivers should be careful.
The pitfalls of speed control
But what happens if you're still traveling too fast? Exceeding the speed limit can have serious consequences. Fines are due and, in the worst cases, there is a risk of driving bans. The basis for this is the rules of the road traffic regulations (StVO) and the catalog of fines, as noted on bussgeldkatalog.de. There are also set tolerances: If you drive below 100 km/h, you can deduct 3 km/h, while for speeds over 100 km/h 3 percent of the measured value is deducted.
The technology behind the controls is diverse. The police use both stationary and mobile speed measuring devices. These include radar systems, light barriers and laser measuring devices. Even sensors in the road surface are used. These different techniques ensure that road safety measures can be carried out effectively. In an emergency, speeding offenders receive a fine from speed cameras - a shock that every driver would like to avoid.
The current measure in Sankt Wendel shows once again that it is important for road users to remain vigilant. Because even if a check is scheduled for one day, things can look completely different tomorrow. As you can see, it is wise to stick to the speed limits so as not to fall into the clutches of speed cameras.
Conclusion: Stay safe and considerate in traffic - the next check could be just around the corner.
