🔥 Hot off the Asphalt: Speed-Fueled Shenanigans in Lower Austria! 🔥
Here's a lowdown on the high-speed heroes (or villains, depending on your viewpoint) who've been making headlines in Lower Austria lately.
Weekend Wild Racers Over the weekend, the local law enforcers had their hands full catching a few daredevils tearing up the roads. According to the latest reports, three drivers met their match with the cops, each trying to set new records on the speedometer.
In the first instance, a driver with a Graz license plate, speeding on the B25 near Lunz am See (Scheibbs district), hit a whopping 211 km/h – that's 111 km/h over the limit! After aénquiring at the district authority, the cops reported the offender on Monday.
Speed Demon Brought to Heels Early Sunday morning witnessed a 25-year-old speedster rack up violation points on Pottendorfer Straße in Wiener Neustadt. The maximum speed there is 50 km/h, but our speedster decided to defy gravity, reaching 119 km/h. Consequences were swift: the cops confiscated his driver's license, impounded his car, and he's now bracing for a hefty fine from the magistrate.
Twenty-Something's License Lost in the Wind If you thought the previous offender was a bit too calm, let's shift the spotlight to a 20-year-old biker from Vienna. Ignoring the 70 km/h speed limit in St. Andrä-Wördern (Tulln district), he accelerated to 129 km/h. Not one to mince words, the police promptly revoked his probationary license and reported him to the district authority. Here's hoping the shock does the trick!
