FDM has already criticized the speed control for being on the verge of the law. Now it turns out that it doesn't work as it should at all.
The speed control on the Great Belt Bridge has been several years in the making. But now that it's finally here, it turns out it doesn't work at all.
In any case, the speed measurements do not enter the police system. This is because it is not the police but Sund & Bælt, which is responsible for the operation of the bridge, that has set up the cameras and the system behind them.
This is written by TV2 Øst .
This means that Sund & Bælt must manually remove the speeding offenders from the system and then send the cases as civil reports to the South Zealand and Lolland-Falster Police.

From here it is up to the police whether the case is so serious that the driver behind must be ticketed. It is also manual work.
At Sund & Bælt, however, some of the blame is shifted back to the police. The fact that it is not all as automatic as the drivers were 'promised' that they would be chased with is due to slow systems.
– This is because the police cannot currently integrate the speed cameras into their system, states the company behind the bridge and thus the new speed controls in an email to the media.
