Speed trap in focus: 28,000 euros fine on a secret lightning site!
A sensational traffic case is currently making headlines: a driver from Italy, Carlo Ferretto, drove past a fixed speed trap more than 750 times in a period of six months, which resulted in him being fined a total of 28,000 euros. According to Bietigheimer Zeitung, Ferretto now hopes that he can reduce the penalty by reassessing the authorities. During these incidents, he was temporarily employed by a security company at a local supermarket.
The reason for the high number of violations lies in the particularly unfavorable position of the speed camera: it was hidden behind a three-meter-high hedge and behind a curve on a lamp post. Ferretto stated that he only realized very late that a speed camera was installed there, which led to his repeated speeding.
Speed camera warning systems under the microscope
However, it should be noted that active use of these devices while driving is not allowed. Anyone who carries a device that is installed ready for operation can be punished with a fine of up to 75 euros and a point in the driving fitness register. While the owners of such systems often praise them, there are legal uncertainties that need to be taken into account.
The legal framework surrounding the carrying and use of speed camera detectors is not clear due to the current legal situation and evokes mixed feelings among many users. The most important points include that possession and installation are permitted, but the warning function must be disabled in order not to risk legal consequences.
Users are very satisfied with the latest version of the OOONO Co-Driver, which offers a rechargeable battery and improved compatibility with modern infotainment systems. However, you should always inform yourself about the applicable regulations in order to avoid penalties or possible confiscation of the device.
