Rapid escape on Herlikofer Berg: 22-year-old in court!

A dangerous car race on Herlikofer Berg in Schwäbisch Gmünd led serious consequences for a young man on Thursday. The 22-year-old L., who had taken part in this banned race as a passenger, had to answer to the district court. There was a rapid chase on the Epiphany Night when a police patrol discovered a rapidly moving Audi and then followed the persecution. The speed violations were obvious: the speedometer of the Audi showed three -digit values ​​when the police tried to catch up with the driver. A patrol officer reported that the tires on the curvy route were squeezing and they could not reduce a distance from the fleeing one, such as gmuender-tagespost.de reported.

When the fleeing vehicle finally stopped, the police stated that the driver was no longer in the car. However, the passenger L. and two other passengers were found on site. The driver remained unobtrusive, and L. admitted to the race in court, but gave no information about who had controlled the vehicle. A fine of 1,200 euros and a driving ban of seven months was imposed against him for his participation in the race. The defense had pointed out to a possible milder punishment, but could not change the judge. Judge Barbu made it clear that there is a forbidden motor vehicle race even if the driver acts alone as long as he acts with the intention.

forbidden car racing, as they took place in this case, are not only dangerous for those involved, but also put a significant impact on the police and traffic safety. With the increasing speed and the legally defined definition of the race, which also applies in the absence of a driver, it becomes clear that such actions cannot remain without punishment. Such incidents underline the need for clear and strict measures against risky and irresponsible driving. The court decision was accepted in the meeting room, which indicates an agreement between charges and defense.
