Herford Police Crack Down on E-Scooter Safety: 60 Violations in 100 Checks
On Wednesday, September 17, 2025, the Herford district police conducted a targeted inspection of electric micro-vehicles in Herford and Bünde. The operation, led by the head of the police directorate, aimed to improve safety following a recent accident involving an e-scooter that injured three people.
The previous day, an incident at the intersection of Hochstraße / Wollfeldstraße in Bünde highlighted the need for stricter enforcement. The police are now combining preventive and repressive measures to tackle misconduct.
Out of 100 vehicles inspected, alarmingly, 60 violations were detected. Offenses included using unauthorized traffic areas, riding double, using bike lanes against traffic, and using smartphones during operation. Additionally, e-scooters were found to be used by children under 14, and some riders were found to be uninsured. Despite the police's efforts, the name of the head of the police directorate advocating for these safety measures remains unmentioned in search results.
The Herford district police's inspection revealed numerous safety violations among electric micro-vehicle users. With the recent accident still fresh, authorities are committed to enhancing traffic safety through a mix of prevention and enforcement. However, the identity of the police directorate head championing these measures remains unknown.
