Drunk, high on coke and without a driver’s license, a Romanian (26) fled from the police on the A1 near Asten (Upper Austria) at speeds of up to 220 km/h. Although the lead foot met the requirement for car seizure, he was allowed to keep his car. Because there was no calibrated device installed in the police car…
On Whit Monday at 1 a.m., police officers saw a car driving at considerably high speed on the A1 from Salzburg towards Vienna, immediately after entering the A7. During the follow-up drive, the police patrol established a maximum speed of 220 km/h within the area of a 130 km/h restriction. The speedster was eventually stopped in the Asten area.
The breath test was positive
An alcohol test on the 26-year-old Romanian driver from the St. Johann im Pongau (Sbg.) district was positive. Moreover, the Romanian did not have a valid driver’s license. Because the police noted further symptoms in the driver that indicated impairment due to drug use, the driver was referred to a doctor. After investigation, he confirmed that the driver was not fit to drive.
He was also on medication
In addition, a drug test was positive. The 26-year-old was not allowed to continue his journey and is now facing a number of charges.
