Driver sped through a 70 km/h zone at 118 km/h

A 51-year-old Austrian will pay dearly for this speeding. The man was flashed during a speed check in the Tyrolean Lech Valley on Thursday morning. The 51-year-old had to surrender his license on the spot. 

The Tyrolean police are particularly active on the roads around Easter. Even in the early hours of the morning, as the 51-year-old found out on Thursday. At around 6.30 a.m., the man was driving on the Lechtalstraße in the Außerfern from Reutte towards Weißenbach. He was flashed by a police patrol.

The police measuring device showed 118 km/h. However, only 70 km/h is permitted in the area around Ehenbichl. The police stopped the driver. He had to surrender his driver's license on the spot. He faces a charge and a hefty fine.
