Speeder flashes at Dollern: 100 km/h instead of the permitted 50 km/h!
On June 17, 2025, a driver exceeded the speed limit on State Road 125 between Dollern and Guderhandviertel. Instead of the permitted 50 km/h, the driver raced along the road at 100 km/h, making him the fastest among 700 vehicles counted. Next to him, 57 other vehicles were also traveling too fast. This infamous race caught the attention of the police and once again shows the dangers of speeding on the road. The district newspaper Wochenblatt reports that The fine for this speeder is at least 320 euros. He also faces two points in Flensburg and a one-month driving ban. If the police are accused of intent, the fine could even double.
This may be a painful lesson for the driver, but he is not alone in this problem. Statistics show that speeding is a recurring theme. The data from the Federal Statistical Office prove the connection between speeding and traffic accidents. Every year there are numerous accidents caused by excessive speed. This is a clear indication to legislators that more measures are needed to increase road safety.
A demand for more security controls
After the incident in Dollern, the district plans to carry out further speed controls on this route. Those responsible hope that this will reduce the number of accidents and improve road safety. This push is particularly important given the alarming figures reported from Berlin. In 2023, 811 speeding investigations were launched there, which is the second highest number since the law was tightened in 2017. As rbb24 reports, traffic on the streets of Berlin's main arteries is also affected by speeders and dangerous car races, making the situation even more dangerous.
The steady increase in cases relating to banned motor vehicle racing clearly shows that there has been a reaction to the tightening of the laws in 2017, which elevated such racing from misdemeanors to criminal offenses. Actions that result in serious accidents or even deaths must be expected to result in drastic penalties. Senior public prosecutor Andreas Winkelmann from the special department for prohibited motor vehicle racing underlines the serious consequences if someone is injured as a result of a race.
The numbers speak for themselves: the traffic authorities are called upon to take preventive action. High speeds are not just a question of discipline, but often also endanger the lives of other road users. A sudden increase in police checks and targeted educational measures could help defuse the situation and bring more safety to our roads. It's high time for a rethink!
