Two serious drivers in Aurich: Police asks for witnesses!

In the district of Aurich, a number of driver flees causes excitement and demands the attention of the police and the public. Recently there were two incidents in which injured people were involved, and the responsible authorities ask for the help of clarifying these traffic accidents. This is not an isolated case, because driver escape in Germany is a serious crime that can result in considerable consequences.

On Friday, June 27th, around 6.40 p.m., an unfortunate incident occurred in the Moordorf district. An eleven-year-old boy was hit by a gray car while cycling on the combined walking and cycle path along Auricher Straße. The vehicle, possibly a model from Hyundai or Honda, was there to bend from a parking space onto the street, and overlooked the cyclist. Fortunately, the boy was only slightly injured in simply walking on the person who caused the accident without stopping. The police are hoping for witnesses and can be reached under the telephone hotline 04941 6060.

Another incident in Aurich-Sandhorst

but also in Aurich-Sandhorst an incident was reported. On Thursday, around 4:50 p.m., an unknown driver on the south path towards Esenser Strasse came too close to an oncoming vehicle and chose the sidewalk as an alternative maneuver. During this maneuver he touched a 56-year-old pedestrian and his dog. Here, too, the driver was not willing to stay at the scene of the accident and continued his journey, even though the pedestrian was slightly injured. Witnesses reported an older, gold-brown Volvo, probably from the V70.

driver flight can result in serious legal consequences, even with small damage. According to Kanzlei-erven.de, all involved of a traffic accident are legally obliged to stay at the scene of the accident and to enable the necessary findings. Officials against this obligation are punishable. This applies in particular in cases in which injuries are involved, which in the cases of Moordorf and Aurich-Sandhorst was the case. The punishments can range from money or prison sentences to withdrawal of the driver's license.

legal consequences and education

As explained by Bussgeld-info.de, there is a particularly high penalties for drivers, mainly when people were injured. These can fail in the form of imprisonment for up to three years or considerable fines. There are also points in Flensburg, which has unpleasant consequences for many drivers, especially during the trial period. An unauthorized removal from the scene of the accident is legally regulated in Germany and is known as a "driver flight". In the event of a trial time committed during the trial period, this can significantly endanger the driving test and in the future.

For the police education, it is important that witnesses report to possibly contribute to clarification. The legal framework for the driver's flight remains unchanged, but there are planned changes that could include the possibility of online reports online. Until these come into force, it is important to report all relevant information on such incidents. In the event of a voluntary disclosure within 24 hours, the punishment may be alleviated as long as the findings are made possible.

In times of such incidents, it can be hoped that the people concerned will be quickly and well cared for and that the polluters can be held responsible. The Aurich police are dependent on evidence of witnesses to get on in these cases.
