Düsseldorf Police Launch '#LEBEN' Campaign to Crack Down on Traffic Dangers

Düsseldorf police have launched a statewide campaign '#LEBEN' to raise awareness about traffic dangers. The initiative, which involves unannounced traffic surveillance and strict enforcement of rules, has seen a flurry of activity. Officials have issued fines, detected offenses, and even secured vehicles for expert opinions.

In a recent action '#ResponsibilityStopsSpeeding', police asked drivers to follow them to Corneliusplatz. Here, they set up large letters '#LEBEN' and used an accident car wreck to drive home the message. The campaign aims to consistently punish misconduct and educate all road users, including drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Officials wrote four traffic offense reports and 18 administrative offense reports. They also secured three vehicles for expert opinions. A 38-year-old German driver was found to be driving without a valid license, having previously had a refusal due to physical, mental, or character defects. Criminal charges were made against both the driver and the vehicle owner.

In total, 18 fines were issued and 56 administrative offenses were detected due to excessive speed, with three likely resulting in driving bans. On the A44 alone, 261 fines were issued and 300 speed violations detected.

The '#LEBEN' campaign underscores Düsseldorf police's commitment to maintaining road safety. With strict enforcement and educational initiatives, they aim to deter misconduct and make all road users aware of the consequences of their actions.
