Way too fast

Motorcyclists race along Tyrol’s roads

A weekend with glorious weather naturally makes many motorcyclists want to go for a ride. Unfortunately, the speed limit is often completely ignored. As in these two cases on Saturday in Tyrol.

Two speeding motorcyclists were caught by the traffic police not only at an increased speed, but also at far too high a speed. At 1 p.m. on the Wildschönauer Straße (L3) (Kufstein district), a biker (23) was traveling at an incredible 147 km/h - with a speed limit of 70 km/h. This results in a speeding offense of 77 km/h. The driver's license was immediately confiscated.

105 km/h too fast
Just under an hour later, at 1.53 p.m., the next speeding driver: this time a 32-year-old was driving at 165 km/h on the Tiroler Straße (B171) in the municipality of Buch - instead of the permitted 60 km/h. But that wasn't all: he accelerated at 105 km/h instead of the permitted 60 km/h. But that's not all: he then accelerated his motorcycle and drove at 198 km/h (the speed limit would have been 100 km/h). Once 105 km/h and once 98 km/h too fast: the driver's license was confiscated and the motorcycle temporarily confiscated.
