Styrian highway racer didn't even have a driver's license

A 23-year-old man from the Leoben district was caught speeding at 187 km/h on the Pyhrnautobahn (A 9) near the Bosruck tunnel by police. The incident occurred late Thursday evening, around 21:50, when he believed the police would not be conducting speed checks at that time. However, an Autobahnpolice patrol had set up a laser measuring device shortly after the tunnel. When asked for his driver’s license, the young man could not provide one, as his driving privileges had already been revoked. As a result, he now faces multiple charges.

A 23-year-old man from Leoben district was caught speeding at 187 km/h on Austria’s A9 motorway near Spital am Pyhrn. Police stopped him after laser speed checks conducted on October 15, 2026, around 9:50 p.m., near the Bosruck tunnel. The incident occurred as the driver was heading toward the Voralpenkreuz junction. During the check, he admitted he did not have a valid driving license, explaining that his had already been revoked. Police confirmed the speed measurement took place shortly after the Bosruck tunnel. The driver apparently believed police would not conduct speed checks at that time of night. However, an autopilot unit had set up a laser device nearby and recorded the excessive speed. In a separate incident, a man from Carinthia was stopped for speeding on the Klagenfurt expressway (S 37). He drove 64 km/h over the limit and overtook a civilian police vehicle. His license was also reportedly invalid. Both cases involve drivers without valid licenses operating vehicles. Authorities are preparing charges against both men.
