Fuses 55-year-old in Reutte: 184 km/h instead of permitted 100 km/h!

on May 26, 2025, in the Tyrolean community Reutte, a serious incident occurred when a 55-year-old German driver was flashed in the Musau area at a speed of 184 km/h. This exceeds the permitted maximum speed of 100 km/h by an impressive 78 km/h. Such massive exceedings not only pose a high risk of traffic safety, but also result in strict legal consequences.

The local police carried out a traffic monitoring measure at this point. In view of the extreme speed crossing, which was determined after the measurement tolerance was deducted, the police immediately took measures. This included the preliminary acceptance of the driver's license and the prohibition of the onward journey. In addition, your vehicle was temporarily confiscated at the command of the Reutte district administration. The driver is now displayed and must adapt to serious consequences.

consequences of a speed crossing

Such speed violations can not only lead to an immediate loss of driving license, but also result in various fines and points in the driving suitability register. According to information from stvo.de, the penalties for speed overrun can vary significantly. For example, an exceeding up to 10 km/h costs around 20 euros, while exceeding 26-30 km/h is a fine of 150 euros and a month of driving.

The legally defined top speed for cars and vehicles below 3.5 tons in the free landscape is 100 km/h. A guide speed of 130 km/h is recommended on highways. In poor visibility, regardless of the permissible maximum speed, only a maximum of 50 km/h may be driven.

another example from Reutte

A similar incident occurred on April 7, 2025, when a 19-year-old Austrian was found on a speed of 53 km/h on Ehenbichler Straße (after deduction of tolerance). In this case too, the driver's license was temporarily decreased and the onward journey was prohibited. The measures were also arranged by the Reutte district administration.

The rapidly increasing number of speed overruns in Tyrol underlines the need for consistent traffic monitoring. Numerous road users often seem to underestimate the scope of their driving style. The police will continue to punish strictly to ensure traffic safety in the region.
