Reckless Motorcyclist Charged After Dangerous Stunt on Highway 66

On Saturday afternoon, October 18, 2025, police in Mechernich observed a motorcyclist driving dangerously fast on the federal highway 66. The reckless rider, an Indian from Neuss, was later charged with multiple offenses and had their motorcycle seized.

The incident began when the motorcyclist was spotted speeding towards Frankfurt. In a daring maneuver, they squeezed between a vehicle and the concrete barrier while overtaking. This reckless behavior led to charges of reckless driving, harassment, and illegal racing.

Police attempted to pull over the speeding motorcyclist, but they evaded capture by performing 'zigzag maneuvers' and overtaking other vehicles. Eventually, the rider pulled over and was apprehended. The motorcycle was seized due to its excessively loud engine, which is suspected of violating noise regulations.

The motorcyclist was charged and their vehicle seized pending further investigation. This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of reckless driving and the importance of adhering to traffic laws.
