Traffic controls in Laupheim: 18 violations and seized vehicles!
On May 30, 2025, the traffic police in Ulm set up a checkpoint on Weihertalstrasse, Laupheim. A total of 50 motorcycles and 12 cars were checked as part of this traffic control. The officers filed charges against 18 vehicle drivers because their operating license had lapsed. These indicators result from defects such as incorrect mirrors and an unapproved exhaust.
In three cases, the defects were so serious that the police seized vehicles - including two cars and a motorcycle. The seized vehicles will now be presented to an expert for inspection in order to assess their exact condition. The information comes from the Ulm police headquarters and illustrates the authorities' consistent approach to traffic safety and controls. News.de reports that such checks take place regularly to increase safety on the roads.
Goals and regulations for traffic controls
General traffic controls are not legally defined, but are based on Section 36 (5) StVO. The police have the right to stop road users for checks and the instructions must be followed. The aim of these checks is to check the ability to drive, the documents, the condition of the vehicle and general road safety. The checks can be carried out both independently of suspicion and on an event-related basis. Fachanwalt.de explains that police officers are allowed to carry out the following checks:
- Identität und Fahrtauglichkeit überprüfen
- Führerschein, Fahrzeugschein und Anhängerschein anfordern
- Fahrzeugzustand und Notfallausstattung kontrollieren
- Anweisungen zur Fahrzeugbedienung erteilen
Data queries can also be carried out to check the functionality of the police. In the event of violations, fines are imposed according to the catalog of fines, which can range from 5 euros for a lack of first aid material to 70 euros for ignoring police instructions. Bussgeldkatalog.de informed also about specific fines and points for various violations.
Although the police cannot order alcohol or drug tests without suspicion, these tests are possible if there are specific suspicions. Drivers are not required to reveal their identity to non-incriminating questions or to have their cell phones searched.
Overall, the controlled measure in Ulm clearly shows how seriously the authorities take safety aspects in road traffic and how important it is that road users are informed about their rights and obligations during a control.
