Priority check

Speeding driver was only allowed to keep his car for 1 km/h

The good news first: the animal transporters inspected were all in order and the animals were well cared for. They were allowed to drive on. However, nine car and truck drivers in the Innviertel region were unable to do so when they were caught up in a speed check. And one driver narrowly missed the vehicle inspection.

The fastest speeding driver, who was clocked in a 30 km/h zone in St. Florian am Inn, was driving a "90". At 91 km/h, the car would have been confiscated. However, he must at least expect a hefty fine and the temporary loss of his driving license.

Five speeding tickets taken
On Tuesday, the Schärding police, together with officers from the provincial traffic department, the Upper Austrian provincial government, the Schärding BH and the animal transport inspector, carried out priority checks in St. Florian am Inn. This resulted in 134 speeding violations, 57 violations due to technical defects and one driving time violation. Four license plates were confiscated due to imminent danger, five vehicles were prohibited from continuing their journey, five security deposits were collected and eleven vehicles were summoned for inspection with regard to traffic and operational safety.
