In Vienna-Favoriten, several massive speed violations were detected on Thursday evening. Two cars were traveling at 125 km/h instead of the permitted 50 km/h. The two vehicles were apparently involved in an illegal street race heading out of the city.

Officers from the state traffic department documented the incident on June 6 at around 8:35 PM on Laxenburger Straße using a calibrated speedometer and a video camera in an unmarked patrol car.
