Police say a criminal probe for dangerous interference with road traffic is underway, carrying potential penalties up to license loss and prison if proven, according to the ADAC.

Overview

  • The incident was reported Monday morning on the A1 toward Dortmund after a witness alerted police that the driver and passenger were engaging in intercourse at high speed.
  • Officers pulled the vehicle off the road at a gas station on Steinfurter Straße in Münster and removed a 37-year-old driver and his 33-year-old passenger.
  • Münster police say the driver is under investigation on suspicion of dangerous interference with road traffic.
  • ADAC told DerWesten that a conviction could lead to a license suspension, three points in Flensburg, and a prison term of up to five years, with the final assessment dependent on evidence and witness statements.
  • Some reports cite witness claims that a truck moved onto the hard shoulder to avoid a collision, a detail not confirmed by police.
