Speeding caught at 197 km/h on Mittersiller Straße – motorcycle gone!
In Mittersill, on Felbertauernstrasse, an intensive speed control took place on October 11, 2025, during which the police pulled several speeders out of traffic. According to information from 5min.at, a total of three drivers were reported and eleven organ mandates were filed. Particularly noticeable was a 65-year-old German who was measured at a speed of 197 km/h - in a zone where only 100 km/h is allowed. This led to the immediate revocation of his driver's license and the confiscation of his motorcycle.
Already on October 10, 2025, lightning flashed again in a 50 km/h zone on Felbertauernstrasse [news.de]. Constant monitoring of traffic in this region has proven necessary as speeding is considered one of the most common causes of traffic accidents. The position of the mobile radar devices can change constantly, which requires constant attention from road users.
Road safety in focus
The incidents in Mittersill are part of a larger trend affecting road safety in Austria. The ADAC points out the influence of speeding on road safety and emphasizes the need to stick to speed limits. According to their experts, speeding is the most common cause of accidents, which underlines the importance of traffic controls and speed enforcement.
In addition, the connection between mobility, climate protection and traffic safety is becoming increasingly relevant. The ADAC studies and positions show that sustainable mobility not only has positive effects on the climate and the environment, but is also important for traffic safety. For example, alternatives to conventional fuels and innovative traffic concepts are being discussed as solutions to further increase driving safety.
Overall, the misleading perception of road safety is once again on the agenda. Road users are called upon to be aware of their responsibilities and to respect the applicable speed limits in order to guarantee both their own safety and that of other road users.
