On the highway at astronomical speed

On Monday, police officers from the traffic police station in Novo Mesto detected a severe speeding violation on the motorway using the TruCam speed measuring device. A 37-year-old driver of a personal car, an Audi RS7 registered in the United Kingdom, was stopped between Drnov and Brežice. He was traveling at a speed of 258 km/h on a section where the maximum allowed speed is 130 km/h, exceeding the limit by 128 km/h. As a result, he received a fine of 1,200 euros and nine penalty points. The police emphasized that inappropriate or excessive speed is one of the most common causes of serious road accidents. They explained that increasing speed significantly extends braking distance, reduces the possibility of timely reaction to unexpected events, and greatly increases the consequences of any collision. They added that respecting speed limits is one of the key factors for safety for all participants in road traffic.
