Speeding: 18-year-old stopped at 158 ​​km/h with a test driving license!

In the Spittal an der Drau district in Carinthia, the police stopped an 18-year-old probationary driver's license holder on Saturday morning. The driver significantly exceeded the permitted speed limit on the B106 Mölltal Straße with several risky overtaking maneuvers. A speed measurement found that he was traveling at 158 ​​km/h, while only 100 km/h is permitted. At 7 a.m. the driver was stopped and had to face the consequences of his behavior. The police took away his driver's license and banned him from driving. The incident will now be reported to the Spittal an der Drau district administration, as reported by 5min.at.

A strict system of rules currently applies to speeding in road traffic. Depending on the amount exceeded, fines, points and driving bans can be imposed, especially for new drivers who are subject to stricter sanctions during the probationary period. If the speed exceeds more than 70 km/h, the driver in the incident in question faces a fine of up to 700 euros and the entry of two points in the driving license register. Repeat offenders must also expect a driving ban. Bussgeld-Info.de shows that the fines vary depending on the location and the amount of the violation.

Fines for speeding

Fines can increase further for repeated violations within a year, highlighting the need to adhere to traffic rules. This is also confirmed by Bussgeldkatalog.net, where detailed information about the fine tables is provided. Speeding is particularly dangerous and is often the cause of accidents. There is no doubt that measures such as those taken by the police in the case of the 18-year-old driver are necessary to ensure road safety.
