Stones out of nowhere: With luck, a driver pulls away!
on May 11, 2025, around 4:15 p.m., an alarming incident occurred in the Albert-Einstein-Ring residential area in Germersheim. Unknown people threw golf ball -sized stones on passing vehicles, making a car hit. A car that was controlled by a 54-year-old woman from the Southern Wine Route district was the goal of these attacks, but luckily the driver was unharmed. The property damage amounts to around 300 euros. The police in Germersheim have now launched criminal proceedings and asks Witnesses to report to pigermersheim@polizei.rlp.de on 07274 9580 or by email to gain insights into the perpetrators.
This type of incident raises serious questions about the protection of traffic safety. Throwing objects on vehicles can be rated legally as a dangerous intervention in road traffic. According to the provisions of the Criminal Code (Section 315b), such a behavior with up to five years of imprisonment or fine can be punished. In addition, the attempt of this crime is also punished. In serious cases, especially if the body or life of others are threatened, the punishments can increase considerably.
the legal consequences
In this context, it becomes clear that the law creates strict standards when it comes to dangerous interventions in road traffic. The legal categories include the destruction, damage or eliminating vehicles and the preparation of obstacles, which can usually lead to serious punishments, even if no resolution is proven. The laws are clear: stone throwing, regardless of what context, is a serious crime that endangers the safety in road traffic.
Public awareness of such dangers is of great importance. Incidents such as those in Germersheim illustrate the need to draw attention to such threats and act together to make the streets safer.
