Intentional red light violation? It is important to pay attention to this!

Even if attention is required to the greatest extent in road traffic, something can sometimes be overlooked. But it is also possible that someone intentionally acts when he is about runs over a red light. The question is, when does someone act intentionally (willfully) and when inadvertently. In the event of a red light violation, the principle is that anyone who recognizes that they can no longer cross a stop line before the traffic light shows red and still does so, acts deliberately. This principle applies in particular if a road user accelerates at a yellow traffic light in order to be able to cross it without having to wait. With this rule, the ADAC refers to the judgment of a higher court (Az .: 3 Ws (B) 131/21).

Example: Conviction of willful behavior in road traffic

A road user drove his car towards a traffic light. When it turned yellow, he accelerated further and when it was red, he was 2-3 car lengths away. He crossed the street anyway. Since the police were nearby and were able to watch the incident, the man was charged intent imposed a double fine. He did not want to recognize the judgment and lodged an objection. However, his objection was not accepted in court, he was found guilty and had to pay the fine.

Cross the stop line at red

The man claimed not to have deliberately crossed the stop line. However, police officers did not confirm the claim after watching him accelerate on yellow. Therefore, the court decided that it must have been a conscious decision to cross the stop line at red.
