A number of offenders were caught by the police during checks on Wednesday. In addition to speeding, drug and drink drivers were also stopped. They all handed in their tickets and were reported to the police.

In the afternoon, the police stopped a car driver on the L 111, the Glemmtal Landestraße. The 52-year-old Pinzgauer was driving at more than 100 km/h in an area where 50 km/h is permitted.

At the same time, a 27-year-old Bosnian was driving his car on the A10 Tauernautobahn in the direction of Salzburg. In St. Michael im Lungau, the Bosnian was measured at more than 150 km/h. The police were able to stop the driver at the "Tauernalm" service area. A breathalyzer test carried out during the check revealed 1.12 per mille.

In the evening, the police stopped a 17-year-old Salzburg car driver in Siezenheim. The probationary license holder, who had been in possession of his license for two months, had been measured at a speed of over 90 km/h in a 40 km/h zone.

During the night, the police in Zell am See finally noticed a car that was only driving with its marker lights on. When the 18-year-old female driver from Pinzgau was stopped, clear signs of impairment were detected. A drug test carried out tested positive for cannabis and cocaine.
