For months, he's been running wild on the roads of Zagorje, driving up to 280 miles an hour, filming everything.

A 22-year-old man has been investigated by police for suspected dangerous driving after being caught repeatedly speeding on roads in the areas of Marija Bistra, Zlatar, Zabok, and Krapina. The individual was found to be riding an unregistered and uninsured motorcycle without a valid license for category A, reaching speeds of up to 260 km/h while recording himself on mobile phone. Additionally, he was observed driving a personal vehicle at speeds between 250 and 280 km/h, crossing into opposing lanes, overtaking traffic across solid lines, and using lights to force other drivers off the road, all while recording these actions. In Marija Bistra, he drove at 180–240 km/h on a road with a 50 km/h speed limit, narrowly avoiding a head-on collision. In Zlatar, he exceeded speed limits by over 150 km/h, moved his seat back, and used his phone while driving. In Zabok and Krapina, he intentionally drifted around roundabouts and recorded these incidents. As part of the investigation, his car, driver’s license, and keys were temporarily confiscated. A criminal report has been filed against him for suspected dangerous driving.

Of these, 115 were related to speeding, including a record-breaking case where a vehicle with Hungarian license plates was recorded traveling at 222 km/h on the A4 motorway between Zagreb and Goričan, which is 92 km/h over the allowed limit of 130 km/h.

The car was driven on foot, racing at 280 km/h and filming everything: disturbing details of the Zagorje kamikaze

The Krapina-Zagora police have revealed alarming details about a series of traffic violations committed by a 22-year-old Croatian man this year, which severely endangered road safety. The individual was riding an unregistered and uninsured motorcycle without a valid 'A' category driver’s license, reaching speeds of up to 260 km/h on state and local roads in areas including Marija Bistra, Zlatar, Zabok, and Krapina. He recorded his reckless driving on his mobile phone. In addition to motorbike incidents, he drove a car at speeds between 250 and 280 km/h, crossed into oncoming traffic lanes, overtook columns across solid lines, and used lights to force other drivers off the road, all while recording the actions. At one point, he moved the driver’s seat backward and controlled the vehicle using his feet while driving over 200 km/h in Zlatar where the speed limit was 50 km/h. He narrowly avoided a head-on collision in Marija Bistra by switching lanes at the last moment. Police have confiscated his car, driver’s license, and keys and are preparing a criminal report against him.
