Four cars were measured at up to 152 km/h on the A1 in a 70 zone on Saturday. The police initiated proceedings – in one case, confiscation of the vehicle is also being considered.

As part of a special operation by the state traffic department, the Vienna police identified several serious speeding violations on the A1 in the direction of Wientalstraße in Vienna-Penzing on November 8. A car was measured at 152 km/h – with a speed limit of 70 km/h.

License Revocation Threatened After Speeding Excesses

A total of four vehicles were recorded by a mobile radar vehicle at significantly excessive speeds. The police have since identified the drivers, and license revocation proceedings are pending.

In a particularly severe case – 74 km/h over the permitted limit – the police are also considering confiscation of the vehicle. According to the road traffic regulations, confiscation can be ordered in cases of particularly dangerous driving behavior.
