You have to do that first: a driver from Garmisch was driving on the B472 on Tuesday at 186 kilometers per hour.
The man now faces a severe punishment.
Obersöchering - At Obersöchering near Habach, the Weilheim traffic police carried out speed measurements in both directions on Tuesday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
During this time, almost 3,000 vehicles passed the checkpoint on the B472 federal highway.
The good news: The majority of drivers checked adhered to the applicable speed limit.
However, road users traveled faster than permitted 43 times.
According to the police, 21 times the speeding was within the warning zone.
However, 22 drivers are threatened with criminal charges because they drove faster than 116 km/h.
A BMW driver from Weilheim was the sad leader in the direction of Schongau with a measured speed of 141 km/h.
Traffic police warn of consequences
A Mercedes driver from Garmisch, who was heading towards Bad Tölz, was in an even greater hurry.
According to the police, he was speeding at an impressive 186 km/h.
The speeder must now expect a severe penalty.
Not only does he face a fine of at least 700 euros and two points in Flensburg.
According to the police, the Garmisch driver will also be banned from driving for three months.
The traffic police are using the alarming results of the checks to make an urgent appeal to all drivers: “We would like to point out once again that driving too fast is still one of the main causes of accidents.
Accidents involving excessive speed often have serious consequences.”
