Speeder raced at 243 km/h on the Vienna city motorway

The 20-year-old Austrian driver caught the attention of officers from the Vienna State Traffic Department on the A2 because he initially accelerated his vehicle to 210 km/h during an overtaking maneuver, then braked sharply and subsequently accelerated again, reaching a speed of 243 km/h. The car was confiscated on the spot, the probationary driving license was taken away, and the driver was reported.

Driver sped at more than 160 km/h on the Lände

A few hours later, another driver - the 24-year-old Austrian - accelerated his vehicle after each stop due to red lights. The officers from the Vienna State Traffic Department were finally able to measure a speed of 162 km/h on the Erdberger Lände - 70 km/h is allowed at this point. In this case too, the car was confiscated and the driver was reported. The Vienna police emphasized in a statement that they would take consistent action against speeders. They not only endanger their own lives but also those of uninvolved road users.
