Düsseldorf / Bielefeld -
This was neither a genius nor a flash of inspiration. That was just a speed camera ...
Painting Prince Markus Lüpertz. A genius in exclusive company. The former rector of the Düsseldorf Academy of Art is now one of the celebrity, those of Germany's most famous and most effective speed camera has become a disaster. Such as "crime scene" Commissioner Simone Thomalla and Olympic champion Isabell Werth, he was flashed on the A2 at Bielefeld mountain. In the women must be negotiated. If not Lüpertz. Since Tuesday he has his cloth off. The district court in Bielefeld, he growled at two months driving ban. This is a fine of 410 €.
Twice in quick succession, on 13 May and on 16 June 2009, it had caught the famous artist (EXPRESS) reported. The first time was Lüpertz - after deducting the usual tolerance - with 135 km per hour at the wheel of his 400-horsepower Maserati flashed on the A2 in direction of Hannover. The second time, there were 130 kilometers per hour. Speed limit on that section of 100 kilometers per hour.
At the first hearing before the court in Bielefeld in January could not explain Lüpertz the accusation of madness. He estimated his driving style a little different one. Lüpertz the time: "I drive Kommod!" Even with the statement that he owned several cars, which are used by different people, he could not impress the judges. Lüpertz relevant fines against three spoke of the years 2006 and 2008 in Cologne, Dusseldorf and in Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis. Was postponed until the hearing because his lawyers presented requests to check the radar system. Had they painted nice, the painter prince took advantage but in the end but then nothing.
On Tuesday, District Judge dismissed Monica Wienand recover any admission of evidence of the defense. And they considered it proven that Lüpertz myself have been sitting at the wheel of the Maserati. Since Lüpertz have relevant records for speed sinners, for there is no alternative to the two-month driving ban.
