Rider Goes Missing Following Daring Stunt: No Longer Spotted on Racing Track - Rider's Stunt Gone Wrong: Lack of Visible Route
In an audacious display of road-racing tactics, the police briefly halted a thrill-seeking motorcyclist on the famed Kesselberg pass, a notorious hotspot for motorcycle accidents in the scenic Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district. The surprise came when the 25-year-old Munich resident lamented the absence of a racetrack nearby, revealing his intention to let off steam on the mountain pass.
A Lesson in Responsibility
Despite showing little remorse for his actions, the motorcyclist now faces a lesson in traffic safety. In addition to a fine of around 200 euros, he will attend a traffic education course, as announced by the officers, who expressed their disappointment with a simple: "Words often fall short when describing it."
The Treacherous Kesselberg Pass
The Kesselberg pass, stretching over Bundesstraße 11/B11, has become infamous for its perilous twists and turns, and its enticing allure to adventurous motorcyclists. Authorities imposed stringent measures on this mountain pass due to its troubling accident history, including weekend and holiday bans for motorcyclists during peak seasons.
From April 1 to October 31, motorcyclists are prohibited from riding uphill between 3:00 PM and 10:00 PM, as a result of a two-year trial period that has proven effective in reducing accidents.
