A 19-year-old probationary license holder was stopped in Vienna-Donaustadt after driving at massively excessive speeds and attempting to evade a police check.

A 19-year-old driver was stopped by the police on Tuesday evening around 9:15 PM in Donaustadt due to massive speeding violations. Officers from the Vienna Traffic Department had noticed the vehicle on the Danube Riverbank Highway traveling at significantly excessive speeds.

Attempted Escape Failed

According to the police, the young driver initially tried to evade being stopped. The pursuit finally ended in Berchtoldgasse, where the vehicle could be stopped. During the subsequent check, several serious speeding violations were found.

Speeding Series: "Must Get to My Wife Quickly"

The probationary license holder drove at 133 km/h on the highway where 80 km/h is allowed. In a 30 km/h zone, he exceeded the speed limit with a measured 89 km/h, almost tripling it. The 19-year-old stated as a reason that his wife was not feeling well and he needed to get home quickly.

The officers confiscated the man's driver's license. He was reported multiple times.
