Razen in sight: driver's license away and cars confiscated!

Buchkirchen, Österreich - A dramatic incident on the A8, the Innkreis motorway, causes a stir: A 36-year-old was caught 161 km/h in the construction site area with a madman, where only 80 km/h are allowed. Another frenzied driver, a 20-year-old, was flashed at 141 km/h in Buchkirchen near Wels on Eferdinger Straße, where only 70 km/h are approved. In both cases, the driver was removed from the drivers immediately, and the police immediately confiscated the vehicles. It remains to be seen what the authorities do with the cars, since an auction is only possible if the culprits are also the legal owners of the vehicles, such as .

An important reason for the drastic measures is the recent introduction of the 34th StVO amendment, which enables the police from March 1st to confiscate vehicles directly on site at extreme speeding. A three -stage system is now established, which extends to the final acceptance of the vehicle. With more than 60 km/h in the local area or more than 70 km/h outside, the cars can be temporarily confiscated. This also applies to drivers with earlier draftsmen for frenzy, such as Austria.gv.at reported .

The amended laws that came into force in 2021 significantly increase the punishments for racers. In the case of planned countertells, the authorities may even declare and auctioned vehicles to achieve a daunting effect. This shows that the Austrian authorities are determined to put an end to the traffic terrowdyum and to increase the safety in road traffic.
