Speeding Crackdown on German Highways: Over 120 Drivers Cited

In a bid to curb excessive speeding on German highways, traffic police in Bavaria have been conducting speed checks over the past week. The campaign, which began on Friday, August 15, 2025, on the federal highway B16 near Rain, has resulted in the detection of nearly 120 traffic participants driving too fast.

On the federal highway B25 near Wallerstein, over 90 drivers were caught speeding. The highest speed recorded in this area was 151 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. One driver now faces a fine of 320 euros, two points in Flensburg, and a one-month driving ban. Another driver from Wittislingen is facing more severe penalties, with a fine of 1,400 euros, two points in the driving record, and a three-month driving ban.

The highest speed recorded in Wittislingen was also 179 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. In total, more than 80 traffic participants were cited in Wittislingen.

The police continue to appeal to all road users to adhere to the permitted speed limits, emphasizing the danger posed by speeding. Excessive or inappropriate speed has been one of the main causes of serious and fatal traffic accidents for years.
