Driver avoids fine after unlawful speed limit on the Südautobahn

A speeding driver caught going 158 km/h in an 80 km/h zone will not pay a fine. The administrative court overturned the penalty. The driver was fined €1,500 for exceeding the speed limit in a construction zone in October 2022. The Constitutional Court ruled the speed limit was unlawful due to an unclear end point. The administrative court followed this ruling, dropping the fine and closing the case. The driver escaped punishment as the charge was specific to the invalid 80 km/h limit.
