The executive reported this on Monday. According to the police, this is probably the first case in Lower Austria in which a speeder had to give up his car. Motorway police officers followed the speeder and stopped him at the Korneuburg rest stop, it said in a release.
The man will be reported to the district administration. Since March 1st, if speeding is blatantly exceeded, speeders’ vehicles can be confiscated on the spot and subsequently auctioned off. The basis is the 34th amendment to the Road Traffic Act (StVO). There have also been temporary confiscations in other federal states.
