Apparently someone was in a big hurry and now he has to worry about his car. In Wels (Upper Austria), a speed offender measured 147 km/h in a 70 zone on Tuesday. The 32-year-old’s car was temporarily seized by authorities. An auction is now planned.
A civilian patrol carried out laser measurements in Eferdinger Straße, in the Wels urban area, on Tuesday around 1:30 p.m. A car there was measured at 147 km/h, but only 70 km/h is allowed there. The 32-year-old driver with a Buchkirchen driver’s license was temporarily seized, as were the car keys. Advertisement to follow.
Car away for now
And the car, a BMW, was temporarily seized after consultation with the LPD’s legal journalism service and may eventually be auctioned.
In August, a 17-year-old from Salzburg raced along the western highway at almost 200 km/h. Police stopped him near Ansfelden and seized his vehicle. On November 20, the VW Passat became the first vehicle in Upper Austria to finally be sold under the new speed law – for a modest 2000 euros.
