153 instead of 70 km/h
Automatically saved draft
The police pulled a speeding car out of circulation in Upper Austria on Tuesday. A 26-year-old man from Linz was driving at 153 km/h in Wels, whereas the speed limit was actually only 70 km/h. The man had to temporarily hand in his car. His excuse was quite succinct: he was in a hurry. Another speeding driver was "lucky".
Because he was in such a hurry, the 26-year-old Linzer sped through a 70 km/h zone on Eferdinger Straße in Wels on Tuesday at 153 km/h (148 km/h after deducting the measurement tolerance). However, the police took radar measurements there and caught the man at around 4.40 pm. His car - a BMW 330 - was confiscated.
Auction possible
The Wels district authority will decide whether the car will be auctioned off. In Upper Austria, however, there has only been one known case of a forced auction since the law was introduced on March 1 last year: In November, a VW Passat changed hands in this way for 2000 euros.
On the road with dad's car
In the course of speed checks in St. Lorenz, a car was also measured on Tuesday at a speed of 124 km/h (local area 50 km/h). Curious and dangerous: the 31-year-old driver from the district of Vöcklabruck did not manage to bring the vehicle to a standstill at the location of the police officers due to the excessive speed, but had to turn it around at the next opportunity. The driver's license was temporarily confiscated on the spot. The car is registered to the driver's father, which is why the vehicle was not confiscated after consultation with the Vöcklabruck police station. The vehicle key was handed over to the girlfriend who was traveling with him.
