A 24-year-old man drove 120 kilometers per hour along the rain-soaked A9 in the Hof district with his lights flashing. The fake policeman told plainclothes Border Police investigators that his girlfriend needed to go to the bathroom urgently.

ZBorder police investigators discovered 9 fake civilian patrols on the highway in Bavaria. A 24-year-old man was driving with his 17-year-old girlfriend near the Thuringian border near Berg (Hof district) with blue flashing lights on the windshield, the traffic police said on Monday.

The driver used the supposed “special rights” and drove about 120 kilometers per hour on wet roads, even though the maximum speed limit for wet roads in the area is 80.

According to the police, he explained that he is a professional driver. In addition, it was necessary to quickly drive his girlfriend to the toilet. He is now being investigated for coercion and usurpation of authority.
