Police seize licenses, issue fines after chaotic wedding convoy in Vlissingen
Police in Vlissingen confiscated two driver's licenses and issued multiple fines after a wedding convoy sparked complaints and traffic chaos Saturday afternoon. Officers responded to reports of hazardous and disruptive driving involving dozens of vehicles, including rental cars with German license plates, according to NOS.
The incident began when a wedding procession moved through the city, including along the busy President Rooseveltlaan. Several people alerted police to the convoy, describing it as a public nuisance. According to police, around 40 cars blocked roads and created dangerous conditions by running red lights, driving against traffic, and sounding horns excessively.
“Unnecessarily loud honking” and other violations led officers to establish both visible and undercover traffic checks. Based on their observations, police seized the licenses of two drivers involved in the convoy.
Multiple police units were deployed to the area, and officers spoke directly with the bride and groom, asking them to ensure that the group drove responsibly. After that conversation, the procession broke up.
However, later that day, police spotted part of the same group again in Goes. Officers described their behavior there as “very antisocial.”
Authorities also noted it was “remarkable” that some of the vehicles participating in the convoy were rental cars bearing German license plates.
This was the second wedding convoy incident in Vlissingen in recent weeks. On the previous Saturday, police also seized two licenses from drivers involved in a disruptive procession, according to PZC.
