The police hope that the educational work will prevent some accidents because many serious offenders cannot be stopped with high fines or driving bans.
Until now, the police in the German state of North Rhine Westphalia used to regularly announce on platform X the places where they would carry out speed checks and now that has come to an end. These notifications will no longer be available.
As the Kolnische Rundschau reports, the Interior Ministry of North Rhine-Westphalia has confirmed a new police strategy according to which checks will no longer be announced because then they would be less effective.
In Bochum, Dortmund and Linnen, for example, the police have already banned the publication of information about the cameras. Instead of reporting every day where speed cameras are placed, police departments want to focus on prevention and tag relevant topics on social media with #Life.
The goal is to reach the road user directly and make them aware of their responsibility for road safety.
Accidents in most cases have a human cause, because the rules are ignored. The police hope that the educational work will prevent some accidents because many serious offenders cannot be stopped with high fines or driving bans. /Telegraph/
