6,300 Euro Fines Imposed During Traffic Checks in Vienna-Favoriten

Last week, the Vienna police conducted intensive traffic checks in the Favoriten district. The focus was on e-scooters, cyclists, and the so-called "road-runner" scene. The results were clear: numerous fines, several reports, and high immediate penalties were imposed.

An on-site summary judge imposed fines totaling around 6,300 euros directly on the spot. Several vehicles were taken out of service due to technical defects or serious violations.

Vienna Police Removed Drug Drivers and Tuning Cars from Traffic During Checks

The violations penalized included, among others, an e-scooter driver who ignored a red light under the influence of heroin and crystal meth, two e-scooters whose power at 800 and 1,400 watts respectively was well above the permitted limit of 600 watts, a 16-year-old driver of a rental car without a valid driving license, and a vehicle with a Slovak license plate but an Austrian inspection sticker according to § 57a KFG.

Additionally, a car driver without a license was stopped after ignoring two red lights and subsequently feigning a health impairment, and a vehicle with illegal sports springs and a non-standardized catalytic converter, which was noticeable for "popping" from the exhaust. In the car, there was also a child being transported unsecured. Also stopped by the police was a motorcyclist with a provisional license, from whom the required "dB killer" had been removed, and three car drivers who were noticeable for "drifting," extreme acceleration, and speeding.
