Razor in sight: Tyrol's police confiscated records that are suspected of playing a record!

In Tyrol, a new regulation against extreme raser causes a stir, which has been in force since March 1, 2024. It allows the police to confiscate vehicles if drivers drive more than 60 km/h within towns or 70 km/h outside of the villages. This has already led to a variety of actions in which a total of 23 cars, eleven motorcycles and a small truck were confiscated by the Tyrolean police, as the head of the traffic department, Enrico Leitgeb, confirmed. Razors were particularly frequently stopped on main traffic routes, which makes the smoky results in the entire region clear, since the law also applies in the neighboring districts, as tirol.at reports.

first balance sheet and legal aspects

The police have temporarily decreased since the regulation came into force, which, among other things, also gives the impetus for legal discussions. The latest figures from March show that 21 vehicles were confiscated this month alone. The expert discussion about the new "Raser package" is in full swing, and official representatives emphasize that the regulation is legally complicated, but aims to reduce the number of serious traffic accidents, which are often caused by excessive speed. According to a report by krone.at , numerous racers get their vehicles back, but the process gives the police the opportunity to initiate final confiscations in the event of extreme speed overheads and to auction the cars, which has not yet been implemented.

The authority also clarifies that the severity of the overpowering influences the extent of the fine, which can range from 500 to 7,500 euros. The police have found that the confiscation can be preventive, even if it remains unclear how effective this measure will ultimately be. Enrico Leitgeb underlines the need to continue to observe the development of this regulation and emphasizes the importance of the topic for traffic safety in Tyrol.
