158 in the 70 zone

Driver’s car impounded with a test certificate

It was a brief pleasure: A 28-year-old woman with a probationary driving license had her car and license temporarily confiscated in Wels after she was clocked at 158 km/h in a 70 km/h zone in broad daylight. The new speeding driver must also expect to be reported to the police. 

A 28-year-old woman from Eferding probably didn't pay much attention during her driving license course: otherwise she would probably have known that you are not allowed to speed through a 70 km/h zone at almost 160 km/h and that your car can now even be confiscated if you are driving at more than twice the speed limit. 

Renault SUV confiscated
The speedy 28-year-old was flashed, stopped and subjected to a check by traffic officers on the B 137 near Wels in broad daylight on Saturday morning as part of a laser measurement. She was only able to produce a probationary driver's license. She had to hand over this license and the keys to the Renault Kadjar she had been driving on the main road to the officers. In return, she will receive a citation.
