Cabrio drivers have to go to court: public prosecutor demands tougher punishment!

Rügen, Deutschland - A dramatic incident on the island of Rügen again makes headlines. As reports [ndr.de] (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vormern/nach-geldstrafe-fuer-cabrio-drivers-risan-lawyers- in-profession, process-130.html), the trial against a 47-year-old convertible driver is newly rolled up. The Stralsund public prosecutor's office has filed an appeal against the judgment of the Bergen District Court, which had sentenced the driver to a fine of 12,000 euros and a license withdrawal of one and a half years. The authority considers the sentence too low and doubts the testimony.

The incident occurred on August 14th when the 13-year-old boy was traveling with his classmates. According to the accusation, the man is said to have intentionally approached the student. In the final plea, the public prosecutor called for a two -year imprisonment for probation. In the event of an impact at at least 25 km/h, the young serious injuries, including a traumatic brain trauma and other wounds.

testimonies and the defense

The statements of the classmates, who reported that the driver was turning his car and targeted the boy, played a central role in the case. However, the assessor's assessment could not demonstrate the driver's deliberate action. In the end, the man was ultimately convicted of negligent bodily harm, not for dangerous bodily harm, as reported by the ButUnunbinnen.de.

After the incident, the driver and his vehicle were searched for weeks. Finally, the police found the convertible on September 5 during a house search on the accused's premises - hidden behind furniture under planning and ceilings. The accused said that this was done on the advice of his lawyer, which also complicated the man's defense.

traffic safety in focus

The case highlights traffic safety, a topic that affects millions of people every year. In 2023 there were about 2.5 million road traffic accidents in Germany, such as Statista.com documented. While the number of accidents has increased due to increased traffic, the number of accidents with personal damage remains constant. It is alarming that the causes often insufficient distance, non -adapted speed and drive under the influence of alcohol. Also in the context of modern mobility, such as e-bikes and e-scooters, security remains a major challenge, with 23,744 people injured or killed in this area alone in 2023.

The next steps in the case of the convertible driver are eagerly awaited. The exact date for the renegotiation before the Stralsund district court has not yet been determined. It also remains unclear whether the witnesses have to testify again. The fact is that this incident brings not only legal but also social implications for traffic safety.
