Ghost driver on B1: 72-year-old drives against the direction of travel!

In the night of Wednesday (30.10.2024), a 72-year-old saddle tractor driver at Bundesstraße 1 near Paderborn caused excitement when he drove in the wrong direction. At 1:45 a.m., the police received several emergency calls from concerned drivers who noticed the ghost driver. The truck, without a trailer and with Krefeld license plate, was on the four -lane B 1 towards Paderborn, even though it came from Salzkotten. The directions of travel are separated by a concrete wall, which made the situation even more difficult.

The police reacted quickly and used several patrol cars to stop the driver. He was taken up at the intersection of Salzkottener Straße with Frankfurter Weg, where he was on the wrong track. The driver stated that he had driven "to Navi". Fortunately, there were no incidents or hazards. Nevertheless, he is now facing a fine procedure that could result in 200 euros, two points in Flensburg and a one-month driving ban, reports 112-magazin.de .
