Police Criticize Radar Trap Insurance Fri Jan 16, 9:45 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo! BERLIN (Reuters) - A new insurance policy that covers speeding German motorists against being fined in radar traps as they power down the autobahn has drawn fire from highway police.

Supergau, the Liechtenstein-based company that offers the policy, said Thursday it would pay speeding fines of up to 1,000 euros a year and had already attracted some 2,000 drivers.

Although the company insists the policy does not cover car crashes and speeding that exceeds the speed limit by more than 40 kph (25 mph), police criticized the scheme.

"Speed limits serve a clear purpose, to protect the public. We already have some seven million people registered for traffic offences and we certainly do not want these figures to rise," a Berlin police spokesman said.

German authorities are investigating whether the policy breaches the law.
