Young Speedster Traveling at 151 km/h: Police Confiscate Seventh Car in Upper Austria

On Sunday evening around 11:00 PM, the 21-year-old was caught by a police patrol on the B137 (Innviertler Straße) in Wels during laser measurements. Because he accelerated significantly, the police followed him and measured 151 instead of the permitted 70 km/h. In the municipality of Krenglbach, the driver was finally stopped. The 21-year-old, whose probationary period for his driver's license had already been extended, had to surrender his license. The car was temporarily confiscated.

So Far Only One Auction of a Speeding Car

Since March 1, 2024, it has been possible to confiscate speeding cars and, if necessary, auction them off. Last year, 18 vehicles were temporarily taken from their drivers in Upper Austria. However, there has only been one auction so far.
