The police between Bad Heilbrunn and Bad Tölz noticed a car in which several children were insufficiently secured.

When the VW then passed the officials' civilian vehicle in the no-overtaking zone, the journey was soon over.

– On Thursday, the police noticed a driver on the B472 with a rapid driving style and insufficiently secured children in the car.

At 1:25 p.m., officers from the motorcycle control group were on their way from Bad Heilbrunn in the direction of Tölz in a video vehicle.

In the rear-view mirror, they saw that in the VW behind them, a toddler was sitting on the passenger's lap and another child was flexing between the seats.

Shortly before Hinterstallau, the VW overtook the civilian emergency vehicle - despite the ban on overtaking and a solid line.

As a result, police said, the video vehicle recorded that the VW was driving 117 kilometers per hour, where 100 was allowed, and 98, where a speed limit of 70 applied.

On Blomberg, the police stopped the driver - "and the full extent of the offenses committed became visible," the police wrote in their statement.

While a five-year-old boy was sitting on the passenger's lap without a seat belt, a seven-year-old was doing gymnastics through the vehicle – also without a safety belt.

An eight-year-old girl was in the back seat without a child seat.

The driver, a 68-year-old from Seeshaupt (Weilheim-Schongau district), explained that he just wanted to go to Brauneck to ski quickly.

According to the police, he did not reveal any insight.

The police prohibited further travel.

The mother was allowed to pick up the children at Blomberg.

Character suitability for driving vehicles is checked

The driver can expect a fine of 350 euros.

"In addition," according to the police, "he is suggested for traffic instruction and the driver's license office is informed so that their suitability for driving motor vehicles is checked."
