More and more cases

“New law has many loopholes for speeders!”

Speedingat 95 km/h through the 30 km/h limit in the local area, speeding at 230 km/h on the Westautobahn: there are more and more cases in which speeders can have their cars taken away. In theory. But in practice, there are too many loopholes, complains a lawyer.

As a reminder: since March 1, speeders on Austria's roads not only face a heavy fine and the withdrawal of their driver's license, but also the confiscation of their car. The police can virtually take the car out from under speeders on the spot if they exceed the speed limit by 60 km/h in the local area and 70 km/h outside.
