Jutta Speidel Hit With Three-Month Driving Ban, Pivots to Public Appeal for Charity Support

The ban starting in December prompts her to ask supporters to collect donations for Horizont.

Overview

  • Speidel confirmed by phone to Brisant that she will be without a license from December to February after being recorded far above the speed limit.
  • Reports cite roughly a 70 km/h excess after her drive from Switzerland through the Pfändertunnel, with a police control about 30 kilometers later in the Allgäu.
  • At Frankfurt’s 43rd Sportpresseball she wore a poster showing her fine notice and the question “Who will collect the donations now?” to spotlight her charity’s needs.
  • Her reduced mobility threatens her usual in-person fundraising for Horizont e. V., which supports homeless mothers and children.
  • Coverage references ADAC guidance noting that such an excess typically brings about a €700 fine, two Flensburg points and a three-month ban, and she says she aims to reclaim her license by mid-February.
