“Action sharp” against speeders on mountain roads
Many motorcyclists and car drivers "enjoy" our mountain landscape at high speed. That's why there was a cross-provincial surveillance operation on the holiday. Carinthia was also punished.
Accidents involving motorcycles in particular often end tragically for many drivers, which is why the focus of the cross-border campaign was on two-wheelers. "High speeds, risky overtaking maneuvers, cutting corners and overconfidence are key factors in serious motorcycle accidents," emphasizes Enrico Leitgeb, head of the traffic department of the Tyrolean police, who coordinated the campaign in which 751 motorcyclists were punished in Carinthia, Tyrol, Salzburg and Vorarlberg.
"The traffic focus served to increase road safety on excursion roads," said LPD Carinthia spokeswoman Kristina Kapellari. "There were checks in the Gailtal, Drautal, Mölltal and Glockner areas from 1pm to 7pm." Speeding drivers are not "only" a danger to themselves on the Grossglockner High Alpine Road - many marmots that live there also fall victim to them (as reported).
Seven license plate confiscations
A total of 129 speeders were stopped in Carinthia, 85 of whom were reported. The license plates of three cars and four motorcycles were even removed. On the Grossglockner, squealing tires can often be heard during exaggerated acceleration maneuvers and drifting. However, there was no particular accumulation of reports. "There were speeders everywhere. The patrols were busy," emphasizes Kapellari.
