74 km/h too fast

Speeding driver had three children in the car – car taken away

What was the young man thinking? With three children (aged 4, 9 and 10) in the car, a 20-year-old was speeding along a country road in Imst in Tyrol. A dangerous drive that has now cost the driver more than just his driving license. 

The incident took place on Sunday afternoon in the Imst industrial zone. The provincial traffic department was carrying out radar measurements on the L249 provincial road there. The officers were astonished when a particularly speedy driver came into view shortly before 3 pm.

At 124 km/h in a 50 km/h zone
According to the measurements, the 20-year-old's vehicle was traveling at 124 km/h. However, only 50 km/h is permitted on this stretch of road. Particularly alarming: the young man was traveling with three children in the car. The police stopped the speeding driver. He not only had to surrender his probationary driving license, but also his vehicle. This was confiscated by the police.
