Fast cars in Bad Pyrmont: Police stop speeders after a major check!
In Bad Pyrmont the patience of the residents is at an end. Citizens repeatedly complain about speeding drivers, roaring exhaust systems and squealing tires, especially on weekends. This unrest has now called the police and the district authorities onto the scene, who jointly carried out a large-scale inspection. The officers were on duty over a period of 18 hours and punished numerous violations. According to Dewezet, 286 drivers were caught not complying the speed limits held. The controls were aimed at increasing road safety and reducing noise pollution.
In addition, 55 vehicles were checked for technical changes and noise violations. The operating license expired for four vehicles. Among these was a car with an illegal exhaust system that was far too loud. An e-scooter driver was also stopped because his scooter was not insured. The speed measurements resulted in twelve violations, with most violations recorded during the day.
Focus on control measures
Manfred Hellmich, head of the Bad Pyrmont police station, emphasizes the importance of speed monitoring. “We want to minimize the potential danger in road traffic,” he emphasizes in connection with the checks carried out. The police are even planning to focus on tuning to further increase safety on the roads.
Speed controls are a recognized measure in Germany to increase road safety. According to Bussgeldkatalog, both stationary and mobile checks are carried out. Various techniques are used here. Radar systems are often used that record speed through reflected electromagnetic waves. Photoelectric sensors measure the time it takes for a vehicle to pass through multiple beams of light, and laser measuring devices emit light pulses that are reflected by the vehicles. Private speed monitoring, on the other hand, has no legal evidentiary value.
The tolerances for exceeding speeds are also specified. For speeds below 100 km/h a tolerance of 3 km/h is deducted, while for higher speeds 3% is deducted. Such comprehensive rules are not only intended to catch speeding offenders, but also have a deterrent effect on all road users, as Bussgeldkatalog.net explained.
The large-scale control in Bad Pyrmont is just one example of the efforts to ensure safety on the roads. It remains to be seen what further measures the police and the district authorities will take. One thing is clear: residents hope that such operations take place regularly and bring a noticeable improvement to their everyday lives.
