This reminds us of the importance of respecting speed limits to avoid incurring fines that can quickly add up.
Fines, points and more

These devices are technically tested and standardized to ensure that they work reliably. According to ADAC, the distances between the various traffic signs and the measuring stations are regulated by law. In addition, speed cameras must always be set up at the necessary distance so as not to suddenly surprise road users.
