"Cat-and-mouse game"
Police crack down on the roadrunner scene
The Styrian police cracked down on the so-called roadrunner scene at the weekend. At an organized meeting of bikers and other motor vehicle drivers on Saturday, there were 241 vehicle and driver checks, including around 30 motorcycles.
95 charges, five license plate confiscations and 33 fines: this is the result of the Styrian police's priority checks. The roadrunner scene had called for a big meeting on Saturday evening. The behavior of the participants justified this, says a spokesman, for example through deliberate misconduct such as skidding, donuts, drifts or wheelies. 95 reports were the result, and the people involved are facing heavy fines.
Quick changes of location were intended to confuse the police
The scene deliberately tried to avoid police checks: This led to participants quickly changing locations from Gleisdorf to Werndorf, Kalsdorf, Preding and finally to Graz. Dangerous driving maneuvers also endangered onlookers. In Wundschuh, there was even a traffic accident between a car and a motorcyclist. The biker (18) suffered serious injuries.
According to the head of the provincial traffic department, Colonel Kurt Lassnig, last Saturday was "a game of cat and mouse. The participants in this meeting not only endangered their own safety, but also that of onlookers and bystanders. We will not accept this under any circumstances and will clearly increase the control pressure".
