In concrete terms, 1,665,665 speeding violations were established in Flanders in the first six months. That is 168,975 more than in 2019, the year before corona. And compared to 2015, this is an increase of 530,159, according to a police report that the newspaper was able to view.
Route checks increase the chance of being caught, but the figures are still a cause for concern, Flemish Minister of Mobility Lydia Peeters also acknowledges. She wants to invest even more in road safety, she says in De Zondag: next year half a billion euros.
