The Styrian police arrested a driver (20) in Gleisdorf (Weiz district) on Saturday evening who had illegally installed a blue light on his Volvo. Because the investigators assume that the young Styrian was playing police, witnesses are now being sought.
The 20-year-old driver is accused of having repeatedly driven his Volvo in the area of Gleisdorf in recent weeks, where he had illegally installed the blue lights. He was stopped by police officers on Saturday evening. The blue lights had also been provided.
Please report possible “victims”.
The driver of the car admitted that he had used the blue lights. Since it cannot be ruled out that the 20-year-old police officer acted and stopped other road users, the Gleisdorf police station is now looking for witnesses.
If you have any relevant information, please contact the Gleisdorf police station on 059 133 6264 100.
Who is allowed to drive with a blue light?
“The use of blue lights on vehicles is strictly regulated in Austria and laid down in detail in the traffic regulations,” says Sabri Jorgun from the press office of the LPD Styria. As a rule, only vehicles of public safety services, such as the police or the Red Cross, but also fire engines and military vehicles are allowed to use blue lights. Other organizations and individuals can be granted permission to use them under certain conditions.
District Inspector Jorgun: “If you want to use blue light legally, you are welcome to learn more about the police profession and apply at www.polizeikarriere.gv.at.”
