Individual conducts religious discourse in the emergency lane of a busy highway - Motorist Halts Traffic to Deliver Religious Sermon on Roadside

In an unusual turn of events, a 33-year-old man delivered a sermon on the hard shoulder of the A1 highway in Bremen-Hemelingen, causing quite a stir.

The event, which took place on a busy stretch of the highway, attracted attention from passers-by and the police. The man, who considered himself as a "Ambassador of God," used a microphone and loudspeaker to deliver his message.

Despite the unconventional location, the man believed that the traffic jam made it an ideal spot for his sermon. However, the police deemed the location unsuitable and deemed the man's actions unusual.

During the police operation, it was discovered that the man did not have a valid driver's license. As a result, a friend had to continue the journey. The man's vehicle was also checked as part of the operation.

The police emphasized that highways are not suitable for use as a pulpit. They accused the man of having a "divine misjudgment" of the situation and reported the incident.

Despite not being publicly identified by name, the man's actions have sparked debate about the boundaries of free speech and the appropriate places for public sermons. The incident serves as a reminder that while the desire to share one's beliefs is important, it should be done in a safe and responsible manner.
