In 2024, over 15,000 controlled vehicles and 6,629 violations were documented, while 1,246 vehicles were also pulled out of circulation. In various cities, such as singing, accumulations of more than five vehicles are prohibited from Maundy Thursday to Easter Monday.

In addition to the police presence, the Mannheim traffic inspection is planning special focus controls. For the upcoming tuning World Lake Constance, which begins on May 1st, it is emphasized that you can distance yourself from razors and posers.
