The officers stopped the driver for a roadside check. He turned out to be a 22-year-old resident of Kamienna Góra County.
The outcome? The spokeswoman: – In connection with the offence, the officers offered him a PLN 2,500 fine and awarded him 15 penalty points.
Police:
Exceeding speed limits poses a serious threat to road safety. Continuing such behaviour can lead to tragic consequences both for the driver and for other road users.
Remember that speed is one of the main factors in road accidents, and exceeding it excessively increases the risk of losing control of the vehicle and causes a longer reaction time in emergencies. The consequences of such behaviour can be tragic.
By proposing a fine and penalty points, police officers aim not only to punish the driver for violating the regulations, but above all to draw attention to the need to obey speed limits. Every driver should remember that safety also depends on them.
