Speeding on the A14: German driver caught at 240 km/h and punished!
In Vorarlberg, there was a sensational incident on the Rhine Valley motorway on the night of November 29, 2025, when two vehicles were stopped at extremely high speeds. During targeted speed checks by the state traffic department, the two cars that were heading towards Germany were targeted. A 34-year-old German was measured at a speed of 240 km/h, while the maximum permitted speed was only 110 km/h. This happened on a rain-soaked road, which made the situation even more dangerous.
The investigation shows that there were two female passengers in the 34-year-old's vehicle. The police were able to stop the driver of the stopped car, his driver's license was confiscated on site and the vehicle was impounded. However, a second vehicle with Swiss registration could not be stopped: This driver continued driving at 211 km/h and the police immediately initiated an investigation into the identity of the driver. The two drivers' rapid driving alerted the traffic authorities.
Focus on security controls
The police announced increased controls, especially in the dark and wet season. The last inspections not only revealed excessive speeds in the speeding scene. Two drunk drivers and three drug-impaired drivers were also taken off the road, all of whom were reported to the responsible district authority. This highlights the ongoing problem of recklessness in road traffic, which endangers not only the drivers affected, but all road users.
The topic of road safety is particularly relevant, given current discussions about mobility and road safety. ADAC studies emphasize the need for safe and environmentally friendly mobility in order to minimize the dangers of such speeding and to promote responsible behavior on the road. In times of automation and digitalization, it is even more important that the actual handling of speed and responsibility also has a high priority.
The police appeal to common sense and emphasize that nothing is more important than safety on the streets. The incident in Vorarlberg remains another example of the need to increase speed controls and also keep an eye on other road safety aspects in order to avoid accidents. The situation illustrates the idea of barrier-free and networked mobility, as demanded by the ADAC traffic experts in order to improve both safety and quality of life in road traffic.
