At 220 km/h on the A 2

20-year-old speeding driver stopped: driving license taken away

On Friday evening, a 20-year-old was caught driving at over 220 km/h along the A 2 near Großwilfersdorf. The police were able to stop him and took away his driver's license. He only escaped confiscation of the car because it was not registered to him.

Someone must have been in a hurry: at around 10.30 p.m. on Friday evening, a 20-year-old car driver was driving on the A 2 in the direction of Graz. Near Großwilfersdorf (Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district), however, a police patrol noticed that he was traveling at a significantly higher speed.

Had forgotten something at home
The police officers took up the pursuit and were able to measure a speed of over 220 km/h using video surveillance. They were able to stop the 20-year-old at the Ilz junction. He confessed and said he had forgotten something at home, which is why he was in such a hurry.

Driver's license gone - car not
His driver's license was taken away and he was reported to the police. However, the young driver was able to avoid having his car confiscated - he is not the registered owner of the car.
