19-year-old rest with 122 km/h through Graz: Führerschein away!

Triester Straße, Graz, Österreich - On Saturday afternoon, a 19-year-old driver in Graz was stopped by a civilian patrol of the state traffic department. The incident occurred at 5:30 p.m. on Triester Straße, where the young man was traveling with a terrifying 122 km/h, although only 50 km/h are allowed there. The police speed meter registered the dangerous crossing, as Orf Styria reported.

The surprisingly unadorned driver tried to justify his behavior with an "emergency" and claimed that only 80 km/h had been driven. However, this did not change the fact that the driver's license was temporarily decreased immediately. The police filed a complaint against him, while the incident increasingly draws attention to dangerous driving. This was not the only incident this weekend, because even a 16-year-old rest in Villach with a stolen car in front of the police.

The incident is also highlighting the urgency of traffic safety measures. While the 19-year-old in Graz significantly increased the risk of himself and other road users in Graz, other young people such as those in Villach show that dangerous driving is practiced by a worrying number of young drivers. In the past few weeks, authorities have often warned of the dangers of speeding.
