Romania reports surge in speeding violations and traffic offenses

Authorities in Romania have reported a series of significant traffic violations and road safety incidents across several regions. In Cluj, a BMW driver was caught traveling at 247 km/h on the A3 motorway, nearly double the 130 km/h limit, resulting in a fine of over 4,300 lei and a 120-day license suspension.

In Constanța, a musician was caught driving 148 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on Tomis Boulevard, leading to a 1,946 lei fine and a four-month license suspension. Similar high-speed incidents were recorded in Câmpulung, where a driver reached 137 km/h, and on the DN 73 in Argeș, where a motorcyclist and a car driver were caught at 122 km/h and 127 km/h respectively.

In Baia Mare, the local municipality was fined over 4,500 lei by the Traffic Police for installing a metal-spiked speed limiter on a public road without the necessary authorization. This device was intended to prevent wrong-way driving but was deemed a hazard to vehicle tires. Additionally, police in Hunedoara conducted widespread checks, resulting in multiple arrests for driving without a license and driving under the influence of alcohol.
