Drastic speed crossing on A1: German Raset at 200 km/h!

A 23-year-old German driver caused a sensation on May 26, 2025 on the A1 motorway near St. Pölten when he was on the road with over 200 km/h, although the permitted top speed is 130 km/h. The incident occurred around 1:10 p.m. and led to immediate measures by the Austrian authorities. According to 5min the driver's license was temporarily taken away and his vehicle confiscated.

The responsible district administrative authority was notified and a procedure against the driver is initiated. Speed ​​violations like this have serious consequences in Austria, including high fines and possible driving bans.

rules and fines in the case of speed overrun

like The Fine Catalog Explained on the A1 outside of closed towns of 100 km/h, and a recommended directional speed of 130 km/h. It is measured by radar and laser technology, while the controlling areas are checked regularly.

  • 21-25 km/h too fast: 100 EUR, 1 point.
  • 26-30 km/h too fast: 150 EUR, 1 month driving ban.
  • 31-40 km/h too fast: 200 EUR, 1 month driving ban.
  • 41-50 km/h too fast: 320 EUR, 2 months driving ban.
  • 51-60 km/h too fast: 440 EUR, 2 points.
  • over 60 km/h too fast: 700 EUR, 2 points.

The grading of the fines and points can have a major impact on the driver's license. A one -month ban on driving threatens from an exceeding of 26 km/h outside of closed towns, which in such cases, as in the current example, can lead to serious consequences.

consequences for the driver

The incident illustrates the strict traffic rules and their enforcement in Austria. Grobe traffic violations, such as driving at over 200 km/h, can not only result in fines and points, but also have criminal consequences, especially if other road users are endangered. As ADAC reports, even if repeated violations, there is even a driving ban within a year.

The drivers should be clear about the applicable speed limits and the possible consequences. After all, every crossing can not only be punished monetarily, but can also affect personal mobility sustainably.
