Fast cars and wild races: Police stop speeders in Munich!
On the night of Sunday, October 26, 2025, there was a real car race on Leopoldstrasse in Munich's Maxvorstadt. At around 1:10 a.m., a civilian traffic patrol observed three vehicles, including a BMW, a Daimler and a Renault, driving at excessive speeds and making reckless lane changes. The traffic police inspector was quickly on the scene and documented the risky driving maneuvers with a video vehicle. The importance of traffic surveillance, which is carried out by the police and traffic authorities, among others, becomes clear once again in the face of such incidents. According to bussgeldkatalog.org, increasing road safety is one of the main goals of these measures.
According to reports, a dangerous near-collision occurred on a curve when drivers accelerated sharply near Martius Street. After the traffic light turned green, they increased their speed to over 65 km/h in a 30 zone and even reached more than 100 km/h at Siegestor, where only 50 km/h is allowed. When the drivers saw the uniformed patrol car, they quickly reduced their speed, but this came too late. The police check didn't take long to arrive.
The drivers are targeted by the police
The control operation produced a clear result: All three drivers, all 18 years old and living in Munich, were stopped. The driver of the Daimler has German-Kosovan nationality, the driver of the BMW is of German-Turkish origin and the driver of the Renault comes from Macedonia. Their driving licenses were immediately confiscated and they were prevented from driving further. The vehicles were subsequently taken over by relatives.
The police filed charges against the three drivers for a prohibited motor vehicle race and other violations of road traffic regulations. These incidents are a clear indication of the need for more intensive traffic monitoring that does not just focus on stationary traffic, as described by bussgeldkatalog.org. Whether through speed cameras, speed traps or other surveillance measures: the more control, the safer the streets.
A call for road safety
Such events show how important it is to take road safety seriously. The measures taken by the legal authorities are aimed at preventing accidents and dangerous situations. This also includes speed checks carried out by mobile and stationary systems. The police and the public order office ensure that traffic flows in an orderly manner and that the rules are adhered to in order to ensure safety for all road users. Anyone who thinks they can get away with their reckless driving maneuvers should think twice about reducing their speed and following the rules.
In a city like Munich, where traffic is often heavy and the streets are full of life, it is more important than ever to drive responsibly and follow the traffic rules. So let’s stay vigilant and support traffic monitoring processes – for a safe city!
