In Rottweil, a citizen parked his caravan directly in front of a speed trap.
Many people are happy online - and the owner probably doesn't have to fear any punishment.
The likelihood of being caught by a speed trap varies greatly in Germany: According to an evaluation, there are the most speed cameras in Freiburg - followed by Wiesbaden and Wuppertal.
There is a relatively simple way to avoid getting caught: stick to the speed limit.
Nevertheless, speed cameras always attract the ire of drivers: it sometimes happens that speed cameras are blown up.
There is often support for such actions on social networks, such as “Fleximan”, which saws down rows of speed traps in Italy.
An anti-speed camera campaign in Rottweil (Baden-Württemberg) is also well received by many Facebook users.

Speed cameras parked: The owner of the caravan is probably not in danger of any trouble
According to a city spokesman, the caravan parker is not threatened with a fine or anything similar.
Because: It was a regular parking space and the Rottweiler has since moved his vehicle.
Parking vehicles is generally permitted at this point, which is why the lightning trailer was positioned there.
In general, parking behind a speed camera is “usually not a punishable offence”.

“As a rule, the speed camera trailers are set up so that they cannot be obstructed by parked vehicles,” said the city spokesman.
In this case, there was a gap into which the caravan fit.

Strict rules apply to the installation of speed traps, which are determined individually by each federal state.
