Raser at 130 km/h: Police stops dangerous car races in Bremen!

The men, 20 and 38 years old, were traveling with a Mercedes and a Skoda and drove over 130 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.

The officials prevented a possible endangerment of further road users and prohibited the two drivers the onward journey; Her vehicles were finally towed. A criminal complaint was initiated against them for suspected participation in an illegal car race, while the investigation is still running and is unclear whether there are other participants or witnesses, how T-Online reported.

The incoming problem of traffic safety has also called Bremen politics on the scene. Mobility Senator Özlem Ünsal and interior senator Ulrich Mäurer has decided on an extensive traffic attempt to start in spring 2025. The aim of this project is to contain speed overruns and ruthless driving behavior, especially in areas such as Konsul-Smidt-Straße and the Kommodore-Johnsen-Boulevard. As part of this experiment, measures such as the introduction of a continuous speed limit of 30 km/h and the installation of roadway thresholds are planned. This should not only be kept in chess, but also to strengthen traffic safety in the district, such as [Bremen News] (https://bremennews.de/bremen-will-verststaerkt- against-raser-and-raser-uberseestadt-Vorge--im-Frueh year-2025-starten/).

The situation in the Bremen Überseestadt remains tense. Even if the police recently dissolved their control group for Raser and Poser, monitoring the scene continues. The police are planned for special measures for April 18, 2025 to increase security on the “Car-Friday”. The knowledge gained from the traffic attempt should not only benefit the residents, but could also be important for other parts of Bremen.
