Summary of the 24-hour speed camera marathon: near Gauting, a truck driver was 40 km/h too fast.

The police also stopped speed offenders in Perchting and Meiling.

District – The fastest racer at the speed camera marathon in northern Upper Bavaria was not in the district of Starnberg.

On the A 8 near Sulzemoos (Dachau district) a car was going 68 km/h too fast (188 instead of the permitted 120 km/h).

A young truck driver set the record in the district of Starnberg on Thursday on state road 2063 near Gauting.

In the Tempo 70 zone he drove 110 km/h.

In Perchting, the officials flashed a driver in town at 83 km/h during the annual action.

A 53-year-old from Munich was 26 km/h too fast outside of the Seefeld district of Meiling.

In a press release, the police headquarters in Oberbayern Nord, which is responsible for the district of Starnberg, drew a conclusion on the nationwide 24-hour speed camera marathon: "Despite the advance notice of the campaign with precise naming of the measuring points on the Internet, too many speeders on the road.

The majority of the road users checked make sure that the maximum speed limit is observed.

Nevertheless, the unteachable endanger themselves and others with their driving behavior.” And as an appeal, the officials write at the end of their conclusion: “Too high speed is still the number one cause of serious traffic accidents.”
