Police stops daring motorcycle raser: Fair aus certificates away!

Köln, Deutschland - A explosive situation occurred on Thursday evening, June 19, in Cologne. At the intersection of Venloer Straße on the military ring, four motorcyclists aged 25 to 26 gathered to hold illegal races. With loud engines and rapid speed, they decided to start at green light, and reach speeds of over 180 km/h - well above the permitted top speed of 70 km/h. The police became aware and ended the dangerous hustle and bustle at a red traffic light at Dürener Straße. The drivers' driving licenses and motorcycles were ensured to prevent further risks, such as [ksta.de] (https://mobil.ksta.de/koeln/lindenthal/illegales-rennen-polzi-stoppt-vier-Motorradfahrer- der Militaerring-in-koeln-1047920) reported.

The controls showed that two of the 25-year-old drivers were tested positively for cannabis, which is why a blood sample was arranged. Such incidents are not new in North Rhine-Westphalia and have led to a worrying increase in illegal races in recent years. In 2017, the penalties for such violations were tightened. According to § 315d StGB, participation in non -permitted motor vehicle races is punishable and can be punished with up to two years in prison. Serious injuries or deaths even have punishments of up to ten years, reports the [Police NRW] (https://polizei.nrw/artikel/hohes-Sicherheit-sicherheit-welgale-autoren-im-Strassverkehr).

zero tolerance strategy of the police

The Cologne police pursue a clear zero tolerance strategy to act against such dangerous activities. Regular focus controls are intended to uncover violations of technical and behavioral regulations. This measure goes hand in hand with an extensive campaign of the city of Cologne, which aims to keep young people from the lawn. These include posters in the entire urban area and video spots with popular YouTubers under the motto "I'm cool! #Ichrasenicht".

As the police emphasized, illegal car racing not only increase the risk of the participants themselves, but also for uninvolved road users. Tragic incidents, such as recently in Ludwigsburg, where two uninvolved women died from a suspected car race, show how serious the situation is. In such cases, those responsible not only face prison terms, but also claims of insurance in the event of damage, such as n-tv.

Cologne transport policy and case law is determined in the fight against the ruthless rasher. Both participation in illegal races and the organization of such activities can lead to sensitive punishments. Cologne citizens are asked to be vigilant and report such illegal activities in order to ensure security for all road users. As can be seen, there is a clear approach in Cologne to make the streets safer.
