Police Report: Speed Control Operations Conducted by Reutlingen Headquarters from August 5-10 Across Reutlingen, Esslingen, Tübingen, and Zollnalb Districts
Reutlingen Police Headquarters Lead Europe-wide Speed Control Initiative
In a bid to increase awareness of the dangers of speeding and reduce the speed level sustainably, the Police Headquarters Reutlingen in Germany spearheaded a Europe-wide speed control initiative last week. The operation, which ran from August 4 to August 8, 2025, saw the participation of traffic police, police stations, districts, and municipalities in the regions of Reutlingen, Esslingen, Tübingen, and Zollernalbkreis.
During the operation, over 6000 speeding violations were recorded by the authorities in Reutlingen. Most of these offenses were detected using light barrier measuring devices and measuring trailers. Approximately 360 drivers were measured with laser hand measuring devices and immediately confronted with the speeding offense. Of these, a concerning 40 drivers were so fast that they face a driving ban.
The majority of the offenses were in the warning range, but around 960 drivers can expect a fine and points in Flensburg. However, the exact number of drivers who received warnings or were issued fines, besides the 960 who can expect a fine and points in Flensburg, was not provided.
One notable incident involved a 21-year-old driver of an Alfa Romeo who was measured at 147 km/h on the B10 at Wernau, where the speed limit is 80 km/h.
Speeding has been a significant factor in almost a quarter of the fatal accidents in the area of responsibility of the Reutlingen Police Headquarters last year. Despite this, the head of the police directorate responsible for handling the high number of speeding violations remains unnamed in the available search results, with Lutz Jakschke being the only named individual, as the head of public relations of the Reutlingen Police Headquarters.
The operation forms part of a larger effort to address the issue of speeding and improve road safety in the region. The authorities will continue with the speed controls with the aim of making the roads safer for all users.
