Razor in Bocholt shirts: 94 km/h instead of 50 km/h! Traffic in chaos!

A driver was measured in a speed 50 area in Bocholt shirts at an alarming speed of 94 km/h. This crossing was recorded by the Borken district police authority and is part of a comprehensive surveillance program in which a total of 9,680 vehicles have been recorded at 20 different places in the Borken district in the past few days. According to Burlo-direkt.de Around 8 % of these vehicles exceeded the permitted maximum speed, 159 Adolescence procedures and 622 Cycled money.

Particularly serious speed overrun were also found in other places in the circle. In Borken, for example, a vehicle was measured on Marbecker Straße (out of town), while vehicles were traveling at the Adenauring in Ahaus at 81 km/h. Finally, on the B70 near Gronau, a driver was flashed at 128 km/h instead of the permitted 100 km/h.

Between 2017 and 2021, the main cause was not adapted at over a quarter of all fatal traffic accidents.
