Wiener Rasert on A2: 168 km/h instead of allowed 100 km/h!

Steindorf am Ossiacher See, Österreich - At the weekend, the problem of speed overruns in road traffic revealed once again. A 51-year-old Viennese was flashed on the A2 in Carinthia with impressive 168 km/h. The permitted top speed on this section of the route is only 100 km/h. As reported, the driver was on the road with a motorcycle and is now displayed by the police

Another incident occurred in Steindorf am Ossiacher See, where a 20-year-old Villacher with his mother's car noticed during speed measurements. He drove 151 km/h in a zone in which the maximum speed is limited to 80 km/h. It was also displayed accordingly. These cases make it clear that there are serious violations of the traffic rules on both motorways and on country roads.

speed violations not only lead to displaying, they also have legal consequences. According to ADAC such violations can lead to fines, score and even lead driving bans. For exceeding speeds, the catalog of fines is formed as follows:

• up to 10 km/h too fast: 20 €
• 11 - 15 km/h: 40 €
• 16 - 20 km/h: 60 €
• 21 - 25 km/h: 100 € (1 point)
• 26 - 30 km/h: 150 € (1 month driving ban)
• 31 - 40 km/h: € 200 (1 month driving ban)
• 41 - 50 km/h: € 320 (2 months driving ban)
• 51 - 60 km/h: € 480 (2 months driving ban)
• 61 - 70 km/h: 600 € (2 months driving ban)
• over 70 km/h: 700 € (3 months driving ban)

These regulations are part of a nationwide catalog of fines for administrative offenses. The punishments are also sensitive in urban areas, whereby a one -month driving ban can be imposed from an exceeding of 26 km/h.

rough traffic violations and their consequences

Particularly serious violations, such as dangerous driving or illegal car racing, lead to criminal consequences. It should therefore be aware of every road user that speed overruns not only have fines, but can also endanger their own lives and that of others.

at a time when traffic safety plays an increasingly important role, it is of great importance to comply with the set speed limits. The incident in Carinthia impressively shows that the failure to comply with these rules has serious consequences and that the authorities are rigorously acting against speeding.
