Raser in Klagenfurt: Führerschein away after 94 km/h in the city!

On September 12, 2025, the police checked speed violations on Villacherstrasse around 9 p.m. As part of these controls, a 29-year-old driver from Klagenfurt was arrested, which was caught in the local area with a speed crossing of 94 km/h. The measurement tolerance has already been deducted, which underlines the severity of the offense. Due to the clear speed overheading, the driver was given the driver's license, as reported click Carinthia.

This measure falls into a larger context of changes in European traffic law that are currently being discussed. A new regulation could thus be introduced in the near future, which makes driving license trains in an EU state effective in other member countries. So far, a driver's license withdrawal only applies within the country in which the punishment was imposed. This means that a German traffic offender, who was punished in Italy, can move back to Germany without the punishment there, according to the report by [BR] (https://www.br.de/deutschland-welt/strafe-fuer-raser-gilt- Fuehrerschein-bald-europaweit.u3uxexugo).

Planned EU-wide harmonization

A proposal is currently being discussed in the European Parliament that provides for a harmonization of driving bans in the EU countries. The aim is that a driving ban imposed in a country is also recognized in other Member States. The SPD European Member Thomas Rudner emphasizes that around 40 percent of the cross-border traffic violations are currently unpunished. An automatic exchange of information about driving license trains between the EU countries is part of the planned regulation.

Furthermore, driving should be classified as a serious traffic violation without a valid driver's license. The changes are supported by the ADAC, which is committed to increasing traffic safety. However, the implementation of the new regulations in national law could take some time because compromises between the EU countries are still required.

Conclusion and outlook

The current developments show that the topic of driving license withdrawal in Europe is becoming increasingly important. The driver's case in Klagenfurt illustrates how important controls and measures are in road traffic to ensure security for all road users. If the EU-wide regulations come into force, this could be of great importance for both traffic safety and legal certainty on the streets. Further information on this topic is available from Spiegel.
