Wild motorcycle ride in Graz: Raser caught - drugs and without a license!

A spectacular incident recently occurred in Graz when a 25-year-old motorcyclist attracted the attention of a police patrol from the police through daring driving style. On Wednesday afternoon, the man drove on Wiener Strasse in snake lines and ignored several times red traffic lights. Despite a pursuing police operation, he continued to rush, endangered pedestrians and other road users and caused two rear -end collisions with property damage. As steiermark.orf.at , he finally escaped, but was found by the police on Thursday. In his interrogation, he admitted to standing under drugs at the time of flight and having no driver's license. In addition, the motorcycle was not approved.

Similar risky behavior patterns are also internationally shown. In the Czech Republic, a motorcyclist was stopped by the police on the highway while playing on the smartphone with both hands. The man steered his BMW GS Adventure at high speed, completely inattentive to traffic. According to Motorradonline.de he was occupied directly on site with the maximum fine of 3,500 Czech crowns (about 139 euros) and had to fear additional four points in Flensburg. These incidents illustrate the dangers that arise from distractions such as mobile phone use in road traffic and the need for stricter measures against such behaviors.

In Germany, current statistics show that around 100,000 traffic accidents are caused by mobile phone use at the wheel annually, which leads to 500 deaths and over 25,000 injuries. Despite strict punishments for cell phone users at the wheel, the tendency is rising. Shockingly, 55 percent of all drivers regularly use their smartphone while driving, with 85 percent affected by 18 to 29 year olds. This alarming behavior makes it clear that both motorcyclists and drivers should think of their streets and security before it is too late.
