And the radar greets you every day: for the third day in a row, the local police registered excessive speeding violations by foreign drivers: after the fast Briton with lead feet and the “fast” Italian speeder, they now caught a Czech speeding.
A 39-year-old Briton had a speedometer reading of 205 km/h when he sped past the traffic police’s radar guns on the northern motorway near Poysdorf. Because the speed limit was only 130 km/h, the officers were ‘not amused’ and immediately revoked the man’s British driving licence. The speeder was also ordered to pay a deposit.
Terminal station Leobersdorf
The day before, an Italian (48) was driving at 172 km/h, which was much too high a speed on the southern motorway. And that on the construction site, where only an ’80’ was actually allowed. Because the southerner was happily overtaking on the right, as only a Brit would be expected to do, and because he only saw barrier lines as a suggestion, he was stopped by a citizen patrol. In the municipality of Leobersdorf, he had to hand in his driver’s license and deposit as well as his car.
Three times as fast as allowed
Which brings us to Thursday: around 3:00 p.m., a police patrol from the post in Groß-Siegharts caught another speeding offender on the radar as part of a district-wide grid square in Waidhofen an der Thaya. After all, the Czech consistently drove 104 km/h. Both in the regular district and in a 30-zone. Because the 26-year-old drove more than three times as fast as allowed, his vehicle was also confiscated. Due to this excessive speed, he lost his driver’s license anyway.
