Speed Blitz! Police pull out speed offenders with heavy fines
The traffic police in Amberg carried out intensive speed checks on June 18th and 19th, 2025 to remove speeders from traffic and ensure more safety on the roads. In a very short time, numerous drivers were caught not adhering to the applicable speed limits. Overall, the controls are an important step towards improving road safety and preventing accidents, as oberpfalz-aktuell.com reports.
On the first day of controls, the B85 near Königstein, the maximum permitted speed was 70 km/h. Between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m., 56 road users received complaints. The fastest driver was traveling at 105 km/h and received a fine of 200 euros and a point in the central traffic register. During the subsequent checks on State Road 2165 near Ensdorf on June 19th between 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., the results were even more drastic: 47 drivers were cited, including 21 people who were required to report the crime. The most frightening result: A driver was traveling at 173 km/h, even though only 100 km/h was allowed. He faces a fine of at least 600 euros, 2 points in Flensburg and a two-month driving ban.
Frequent violations and punishment
Speeding is a common offense that not only endangers road users, but also often results in serious accidents. It is therefore not surprising that the police carry out speed checks, especially in problematic areas. These are done both mobile and stationary. With stationary speed cameras, drivers are usually informed, while mobile speed cameras are used flexibly and can therefore cause more surprises, as bussgeldkatalog.org explains.
Penalties vary depending on the severity of the violation. In urban areas, for example, speeding by up to 10 km/h will result in a fine of 30 euros. From 21 km/h too fast it becomes 115 euros and a first point in the central traffic register. It's no different outside of town: here, exceeding the speed limit by 21 to 25 km/h costs 100 euros. If you drive over 70 km/h too fast, you can expect a fine of 800 euros and a driving ban of up to three months. Not to be forgotten is the tolerance limit, which is 3 percent below 100 km/h and 3 percent above 100 km/h.
Speed measurement techniques
The modern methods of speed measurement are diverse. Speed traps use the Doppler effect, while light barriers use the time between light barriers to measure. Piezo sensors and induction loops are also common technologies that can measure changes in pressure or current flow. Laser measuring devices are more complex and are being used more and more. They send light pulses that are reflected. The police are well equipped to record speeding violations, as bussgeldkatalog.net explains.
The intensive controls in the region ensure that road users act responsibly. Anyone who doesn't adhere to the regulations would do well to know that there will be no leniency for speeding. So the message remains clear: Security knows no compromises!
