Speed controls in wine presses: only 60 racers caught!

Keltern, Deutschland - in Keltern, the Pforzheim transport service had a comprehensive speed control on the K 4538 between Friday and Wednesday. Fortunately, of over 13,600 measured vehicles were only 60 drivers as a racer and exceeded the permitted speed. This means that the majority of road users followed the rules!

But the controls also have their dark side: a driver was caught at a breathtaking speed of 118 km/h at permitted 70 km/h. This could have serious consequences, including an impending ban on driving! The police have already announced that the speed monitoring continues to increase security on the streets. Fast driving remains one of the main causes of traffic accidents with personal injury, and the authorities take the topic very seriously.
