Biker rests through Kapfenberg: 124 km/h arrested in 30s!

On Sunday, the police reported several cases of frenzy in Styria. In a remarkable incident, a 20-year-old motorcyclist was stopped with a test guide license in Kapfenberg. The young driver exceeded the permitted speed in a construction site at 30 km/h by first overtaking another car at 128 km/h and finally 124 km/h while he disregarded the ban on overtaking. The man's motorcycle was confiscated and it is displayed.

In a further incident, a 49-year-old Czech raced on the A2 near St. Stefan Ob Stainz at 171 km/h, although only 100 km/h were allowed. Here, too, the driver ignored the instructions of the police and must now expect the loss of his driver's license and the confiscation of his motorcycle.

liability and new regulations

A third incident occurred in Graz, where a 31-year-old driver was traveling in a 50s zone at 93 km/h. His three -year -old son was unsecured in the back seat. The man also lost his driver's license and is displayed.

The present behavior of the speeders will be discussed in conjunction with the new legal regulations on the 34th amendment to the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), which will come into force from March 1, 2024. These regulations go into a three -stage system that can lead to a decay of the vehicle if the top speed is exceeded by more than 80 km/h in the local area or 90 km/h outside the local area. In the case of repeated violations, in particular drivers with criminal records, even earlier confiscations are already possible at 60 km/h in the city or 70 km/h outside, such as ÖSTRO.GV.AT notes.

In the event of violations, the police may temporarily confiscate a vehicle for a maximum of 14 days, unless the vehicle does not belong to the racer. In this case, a lifelong ban on steering in the driver's license register could be noted, for further control of razors. However, the ÖAMTC expresses concerns about the effectiveness of these measures and warns of legal gray areas, which may be unconstitutional, as [OEAMTC.AT] (https://www.oeastc.at/news/ fittings- von-fahrzeiten-nach-moeglich-67456806).

The police seem to be determined to act against such speeds. The current practice shows that the focus is not only on security on the streets, but also the legal framework for combating frenzy is consistently implemented in order to enable even harder measures in the future.

It remains to be seen whether these new measures will lead to a reduction in frenzy. What is certain, however, is that the willingness to act against speed violations has increased significantly on both official and legislative side, which is impressively expressed in the current incidents, such as oe24.at summarizes.
