Although we are all very different drivers, when we get behind the wheel, we all have at least one thing in common: we fear being seen. And this is quite understandable, because speed cameras are increasingly appearing on our roads, which track even the slightest inattention. Just a small speed violation is enough – and this is a guaranteed fine, as well as the removal of a point. However, this is set to change next year as the government wants to stop deducting points for going under 5km/h. Which makes up a significant proportion of offenses currently under Road Safety.

Crazy radar

We often tell ourselves that if we respect the rules of the Traffic Rules and speed limits, theoretically nothing can happen to us. The story we are telling you today proves the opposite. The last one took place at the beginning of the week, in the town of Rosbruk in the Mosel. On Monday, September 18 and Tuesday, September 19, many motorists were illuminated by automatic radars. Nothing unusual yet. Except that the latter were actually legal, going 110km/h on the road is limited to… 110km/h. But then where is the wolf?

Error

In fact, the auto cockpit was miscalibrated she called the cars heavy-duty, which are limited to 90 km/h. As a result, several drivers were deceived. Fortunately, the prefecture has admitted the mistake and says fines will not be sent to the unfortunate drivers caught in the trap. The violations were not forwarded to the processing center, so no one should get anything. The radar was repaired and now works fine.
