The police in Bavaria are also prepared for “Car Friday”. Depending on the violation, there may be penalties such as driving bans or even confiscation of the car.
Munich - Although Bavaria has not yet been considered the center of the car poser scene, actions could also take place here on “Car Friday”. The Interior Ministry is ready.
“Car Friday” on Good Friday: Police in Bavaria are prepared
The Bavarian police are also prepared for car posers and speeders in Bavaria on so-called Car Friday. The Interior Ministry announced “operations adapted to the situation,” as it said in response to a request from the German Press Agency.
There is nothing wrong with being enthusiastic about cars. “The limit is where laws are exceeded, others are endangered or disturbed by noise or exhaust fumes,” said a ministry spokesman. In such situations the police will act decisively. “This particularly applies to risky driving maneuvers and illegal conversions. Depending on the violation, there is a risk of high fines, driving bans and even the confiscation of the vehicle.”

For years, parts of the car poser scene have been gathering on Good Friday for nationwide actions - legal and illegal - known as “Car Friday”. For example, thousands of car fans are expected at the Nürburgring in Rhineland-Palatinate, and a tunnel in Saxony-Anhalt is being closed as a precaution because drivers there have been revving their engines loudly in recent years.
