Cars Decked Out in Red Targeted in State Capital Crackdown at Königsallee and Corneliusplatz - Enforcement Focuses on Racers, Posers, and Illegally Modified Vehicles - Multiple Vehicles Inspected
On a Friday in April 2025, an illegal street race took place in Düsseldorf, Germany. The event, which occurred during a statewide action week, was documented using a civil vehicle equipped with specialized video and measurement technology known as ProViDa.
The suspect's vehicle, along with three others, was one of the vehicles inspected by the Düsseldorf police around Corneliusplatz and Königsallee. As a result, approximately 117 vehicles were scrutinised during the event.
During the race, officers registered 644 speeding offences on the A44, while on Brussels Street, 350 warnings and 120 reports for administrative offences were issued due to speeding violations. In addition, officers issued warnings in 21 cases and filed 46 reports for administrative offences.
One of the vehicles inspected was found to contain a "blank-firing weapon" in the glove compartment, and another driver was found to be in possession of a baseball bat and a telescopic baton. Nine cases resulted in the initiation of criminal proceedings, including suspected drug-impaired driving.
The identity of the 19-year-old individual from Wuppertal, who is facing a criminal charge for participating in the illegal street race, has been made public. However, no information about other participants in the street race is provided.
Three vehicles were impounded for reasons including facilitating expert reports. No additional information about the outcome of the criminal proceedings or driving ban is given. The exact location of the street race is not specified in the article.
It is clear that the Düsseldorf police took a firm stance against illegal street racing and other traffic violations during this event. The use of technology like ProViDa demonstrates their commitment to keeping the roads safe for all users.
