Villach/Steindorf. On a typical Sunday afternoon, the boys in blue nabbed a couple of speed demons, both of whom ended up losing their licenses.
First up was a 51-year-old gent hailing from Vienna who decided to take his motorcycle for a spin on the A2 near Villach. clocked at a whopping 168 km/h in a 100 km/h zone, the fuzz caught him red-handed. Yikes!
Later that day, in the quiet town of Steindorf by Lake Ossiach, a 20-year-old local lad from Villach found himself in hot water for flooring it in his mother's ride, cruising at 151 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. This rebel without a cause was also reported by the cops.

While we can’t give you an exact number for a fine for speeding, you can expect steeper fines for more severe offenses, such as exceeding the limit by 30 km/h or more, which could also lead to additional penalties.
As for license suspension, Carinthia follows the national rule — huge violations can result in losing your license, with the length of the suspension depending on the severity of the crime and past driving behavior. In this case, we’re looking at a possible license suspension for both our speedsters.

- The 51-year-old speeding motorcyclist from Vienna could face steeper fines due to exceeding the limit by 68 km/h, a more severe offense.
- The 20-year-old local speedster from Villach, cruising 71 km/h over the speed limit in Steindorf, may also incur additional penalties for his reckless lifestyle.
- Paralleling sports cars on the race track, their car maintenance may share striking similarities with the care required for the two notorious speedsters' vehicles.
- For those seeking a tranquil lakeside environment away from the chaos of speeding cars, Lake Ossiach could prove an ideal almost therapeutic destination, rainer than the frenzied highways.
