Life-threatening escape: speeder escaped from the police in Günzburg!
On the night of Saturday to Sunday, an incident occurred in Günzburg that caused a stir: a driver evaded a police check and fled at excessive speed. According to the Augsburger Allgemeine The escape happened around midnight when the driver was driving in the area of Dillinger Strasse and the market square in a vehicle without the lights on. Many passers-by were in the market square at the time of the incident, which further endangered the situation.
The police reacted quickly, but due to the extreme danger to bystanders they were forced to stop pursuing the car. This was done to avoid serious consequences for passers-by and other road users. Following this dangerous maneuver, criminal proceedings were initiated for endangering road traffic. The investigation into the identity of the driver and the exact circumstances of his escape is ongoing, and witnesses are asked by the authorities to contact the Günzburg police station on 08221/9190.
Legal background
The fleeting drive could have legal consequences that go beyond a simple traffic violation. As the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court states in a ruling on Section 315d of the Criminal Code, fleeing from the police is viewed as comparable to an illegal car race. The intention to drive the vehicle at the highest possible speed plays a crucial role. However, the technical maximum speed does not necessarily have to be reached - the subjective perception of the speed and the traffic situation are also taken into account in the evaluation. This shows that traffic regulations aim to regulate such risky behaviors and thereby increase road safety. The Jurcase further explains that the motivation of the driver can be difficult to clarify in individual cases, but the systematic interpretation of the regulations justifies criminal liability if the prerequisites for the offense are met.
Police checks and the behavior of drivers
Police checks are an unpleasant matter for many drivers. As in ADAC According to reports, drivers are required to show their personal details, vehicle documents and driver's license, while they do not have to answer questions about their whereabouts. It is advisable to remain calm during a stop and to comply with the request to follow a police vehicle. Failure to do so can result in a fine of 70 euros and one point in Flensburg.
In this case, it is to be hoped that the investigation will quickly lead to clarification and that the driver will be held accountable for his dangerous behavior. The police are once again appealing to all witnesses and whistleblowers to come forward in order to significantly improve safety on the streets of Günzburg.
