Won the race, but lost the test license and the car – that’s how you could sum up the night of Easter Sunday for a 20-year-old speeding offender in Vienna who was caught by the state traffic service.

Several road users at risk
The officers gave chase and observed several risky overtaking maneuvers that endangered uninvolved road users. The young man was arrested near Traiskirchen on the (Southern highway A2). The police confiscated his older model 3 Series BMW as well as his driver’s license.
The second speeding offender was able to escape with his vehicle
