Speeders on the western highway: 205 km/h and fake license plates
A remarkable incident occurred during a nighttime operation by the police in Linz-Land. On November 15th around 12:30 a.m., a 36-year-old man from Vienna overtook a civilian patrol on the Westautobahn near Enns at extremely high speed. Such rapid driving is not only dangerous, but also illegal, and the officers were quickly alerted.
After some time, the civilian patrol managed to catch up with the man's car. A speed measurement revealed that the driver was traveling at a speed of an impressive 205 km/h, without any significant reductions in the permitted measurement tolerance. This speed is far above what is permitted on the highway. When the officers checked the technical details of the vehicle, they noticed the mounted license plates because of their irregularities.
Forgery and insight
When the driver and his vehicle were subsequently checked, it turned out that the license plates were fake. This raises additional legal issues beyond speeding. The driver was cooperative and stated that he wanted to get home quickly, but this does not reduce the legal consequences of his action.
The officers reacted quickly and not only revoked the man's license plates, but also his driver's license to ensure safety on the roads. He was then reported, which means that the judiciary must now consider what punishments are appropriate for these serious violations. Such incidents are not only a challenge for the police, but also a serious reminder of the importance of road safety and responsible driving.
In this matter, the police made an important contribution to safety on the streets through their quick response. It remains to be seen what legal action will be taken against the speeder. For more information on this incident and related topics, see the report www.e-steyr.com be read.
