Acrobatic motorcycle ride ends with a police stop in Deggendorf for the couple
An unconventional motorcycle ride caused a stir in Deggendorf. Police had to stop two people who were riding a motorcycle in a risky position on Monday evening, which led to a safety check. The driver and his passenger had chosen a questionable sitting position: instead of standing on the regular footrests, the passenger had wrapped her legs around the driver's upper body. Although the police were impressed by the “acrobatic aspect” of this pose, they pointed out that it was dangerous and illegal, as pnp.de reports.
During the inspection it also emerged that the motorcycle was not approved to transport a second person. Not only were the necessary footrests for the passenger missing, there were also no technical modifications necessary for road use. This includes, in particular, adequate chain protection and complete lighting of the vehicle. The police issued a driving ban and initiated fine proceedings against the driver.
In the spotlight of traffic rules
A look at the catalog of fines shows that the legislature has set the same regulations for motorcyclists as for car drivers. Regardless of individual driving behavior, motorcyclists must adhere to the applicable rules, including the requirement to wear a helmet and lighting regulations. A violation of the lighting regulations can be punished with a fine of 20 to 35 euros, while more serious violations, such as driving without a valid operating license, can cost up to 90 euros. The need for a suitable helmet is also particularly emphasized, as bussgeldkatalog.org makes clear.
The excitement surrounding the acrobatic motorcycle performance should make younger riders and their companions in particular think: safety comes first. If you don't pay attention to the correct regulations and the technology of your vehicle, you could find yourself in an unpleasant situation sooner than you think. To ensure that no fun is left behind, all bikers need to prepare well and be safe on the road.
In summary, this incident shows how important it is to follow the rules on the road. This is the only way to keep the joy of riding a motorcycle intact and to avoid dangerous situations.
