Tempo sinner: 18-year-old with a test guide license at 158 km/h stopped!

In the Spittal district of the Drau in Carinthia, the police stopped an 18-year-old test guide owner on Saturday morning. With several risky overtaking maneuvers, the driver significantly exceeded the permitted top speed on the B106 Mölltal Straße. In the event of a speed measurement, it was found that it was traveling at 158 km/h, while only 100 km/h were allowed. The driver was stopped at 7 a.m. and had to face the consequences of his behavior. The police took his driver's license and prohibited him from continuing. The incident is now reported to the Spittal district administration on the Drau, as [5min.at] (https://www.5min.at/5202506071048/Polizei-stoppt-lenker-18-mobeschein-nach-ueberholmanoever/) reports.

A strict control system in road traffic is currently valid for speed overruns. Depending on the amount, fines, points and driving bans can be imposed, especially for novice drivers who are subject to stricter sanctions during the trial period. With an exceeding of more than 70 km/h, the driver of the said incident threatens a fine of up to 700 euros and the entry of two points into the driver's license register. Repetition offenders must also expect a driving ban. Bussgeld-info.de shows that depending on the location and amount of the exceedance, the fines vary.

The fines can increase even further for repeated exceedings within one year, which underlines the need to adhere to the traffic rules. This is also confirmed by Bussgeldkatalog.net, where detailed information about the fines are provided. Speed crossing is particularly dangerous, which are often responsible as the cause of the accident. There is no doubt that measures such as those of the police in the case of the 18-year-old driver are necessary to ensure traffic safety.
