The Moto GP celebrations on the Red Bull Ring are legendary – the Styrian police know this too and therefore carried out strict vehicle and driver checks on Saturday evening. Summary: 18 driver’s licenses were seized for drink driving and there were reports of bodily harm and theft.
“You notice that people are drinking more again,” police spokesman Heimo Kohlbacher said dryly to “Krone”, when asked about the balance of the first real Moto GP evening in Spielberg.
The experienced officer also makes it clear that drinking alcohol in itself is of course not a problem. “But it becomes problematic when the law is broken – and that was the case several times that night.”
18 driver’s licenses were taken for drink-driving – the drivers were from Germany and abroad, by the way. In addition to noise, there were also incidental reports of physical injury and theft. In general, the situation on the Ring is calm, according to the police. In any case, the nightly checks will be maintained.
