Kleve District - Weekly Report of Traffic Checks

The Kleve District Police Authority wants to prevent traffic accidents due to excessive or inappropriate speed. In these accidents, people are regularly seriously or fatally injured.
The police, who carried out checks again in the 2nd week (6th to 12th January 2025), consider compliance with the speed limit to be an important concern.

During the checks carried out, the officers had to document 492 speed violations. 51 road users violated the road traffic regulations because they committed right-of-way or turning offenses, while 33 further violations were detected among cyclists and pedelec riders.

In addition, another 17 violations were detected where road users were using electronic devices while driving cars or bicycles.

The officers also identified ten road users who were under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. Among them was a 46-year-old man from Emmerich, who was on his way to the station on Reeser Straße on Sunday (12th January 2025) at 11:00 am. During a traffic check, suspicion was confirmed that the 46-year-old was driving his BMW under the influence of narcotics. A blood sample was taken from him at the police station by a doctor. The colleagues initiated a criminal proceeding and prohibited further driving.

Nine drivers were on the road in the district without a valid driving license.

Checks will continue to be carried out throughout the district for the safety of all road users. (as)
