The effects of speed controls in Minden-Lübbecke

As part of the Europe -wide "Operation Speed" campaign week, the police in the Mühlenkreis took vigorous measures against overrun speeds. This happened both in Petershagen and Espelkamp and has far -reaching consequences for road safety in the region.

speed overrun in the focus

During the controls on Monday and Tuesday, numerous tempo blows were registered in Petershagen and Espelkamp. Especially on Monday, when Petershagen's two checkpoints 102 warning funds and 18 administrative offenses were due, it can be seen how often drivers ignore the permissible speed. For example, a VW driver was stopped at 102 km/h on the L 770, where 70 km/h are allowed.

numbers that alert

The numbers are terrifying: On Tuesday, a total of 4,560 vehicles were measured on the L 770 near Maaslingen, 388 of which violated the speed regulations, which resulted in 132 OWI ads. Here too, a vehicle driver who drove 118 km/h was prosecuted with a driving ban and a fine of 320 euros. This makes it clear that many drivers are not aware of the dangers of rapid driving.

The understanding of speed controls

The police explain that such controls not only serve to take fines, but above all the security on the streets. Driving too fast is one of the main causes of traffic accidents. A speed crossing can not only result in serious injuries, but also more frequent accidents.

role of the public

The population is called to actively participate in the promotion of traffic safety. The exchange of information about traffic offenses and the support of measures to monitor speeds can have a positive effect on the traffic situation in the region.

FAZIT

The results of the controls underline the need to increase traffic safety and consistently punish speed overruns. The Minden-Lübbecke police continue to be on alert to ensure that the streets are safe for all road users.
