Vienna Police Engaged in High-Speed Chase with Speeder: Motorcycle Confiscated

The motorcyclist had previously caught the attention of Vienna police officers on the A23 because he was driving closely behind cars and distracting their drivers with risky overtaking maneuvers in heavy traffic.

Vienna Police Pursued Speeder Through Several Districts

On the Tangente, Austria's busiest road, the 19-year-old was tailgating cars with a powerful green Kawasaki Ninja, described police spokesman Markus Dittrich. The car drivers were "distracted during daring overtaking maneuvers in heavy traffic." As it later turned out, the man also did not have a valid driving license. During the pursuit through the districts of Donaustadt and Favoriten, the motorcyclist committed numerous traffic violations. He ignored red lights and restricted areas.

Speeder Turned Himself In After Chase with Vienna Police

"After some time and numerous attempts to 'shake off' the officers, they lost sight of him due to the heavy traffic in the area of Raxstraße," said the spokesman. The officers then searched for the 19-year-old at the address of the vehicle's registered owner but found no one. The man eventually turned himself in at the Hohenbergstraße police station. The Austrian citizen admitted to being the fleeing driver. He was reported. The motorcycle was temporarily confiscated.
