German Police Record 105 Speeding Offences in Borken County; 2026 Fine Schedule Released

The Borken district police in North Rhine‑Westphalia set up a speed‑monitoring station and examined 2,037 vehicles over several days. About 11 % exceeded the allowed speed, leading to 105 administrative violation proceedings, 217 penalty notices and one driver‑ban. The most serious breaches were recorded on the B70 near Vreden (111 km/h in a 70 km/h zone) and on the Van‑Delden‑Straße in Ahaus (48 km/h over the limit). Police said speeding remains a major cause of accidents and will continue measurements next week.

Separately, the 2026 German fine catalogue details penalties for speed infractions. Fines rise to €800 for large exceedances, with accompanying points in Flensburg and possible driving bans. Inside built‑up areas, a 31‑40 km/h excess incurs a €260 fine and a 21‑month ban; outside, the same excess attracts €200 and an 11‑month ban. Repeated offences of 26‑30 km/h (or 26‑40 km/h outside) can also trigger bans. The tables provide clear thresholds for both urban and rural zones.
