Fast-paced chase on the A2: Porsche driver stopped at 200 km/h!

Last Wednesday, January 2, 2025, a dazzling spectacle occurred on the A2 near Lieboch when the police chased after a Porsche 911. The driver, a 38-year-old man from the Deutschlandsberg district, was clocked at a shocking 200 km/h and stopped. This rapid test drive, which wasn't even his, ended abruptly at the Kaiserwald rest stop, where he confessed and was found to be slightly intoxicated. As a result of this risky exit, his driver's license was immediately revoked and a report was filed. The police search shows once again the pressing problems with speeding on our roads, as ORF Steiermark reported.

Shocking chase in Graz

In another alarming traffic report, there was a serious accident in Graz-Gries on Sunday evening in which the driver, according to the police a 20-year-old Russian, fled and left his injured passenger behind. This is not the only incident in Graz, as on Saturday afternoon a 19-year-old car driver was stopped in the Puntigam district at an incredible 122 km/h instead of the permitted 50 km/h. Such reckless driving not only poses ongoing dangers on the road, but also poses serious challenges for safety authorities NOE.ORF.at determines.

Police will continue to do everything they can to enforce speed limits and ensure safety on the roads, especially at a time when more people are undertaking high-risk journeys. The combination of excessive speed and drunkenness leads to dangerous situations that threaten not only the drivers themselves, but also other road users, as reported by ORF Styria makes clear.
