Wattens – A taxi driver on the Inntalautobahn was pulled out of traffic by the police at a much higher speed on Saturday. The 27-year-old was traveling without passengers. At around 2:30 p.m., he accelerated to 176 and then again to 169 km/h, despite the 100 km/h speed limit and snowy road as well as persistent snowfall and sidetracks. The Austrian only slowed down because he encountered a slow column of cars driving in front of him.

The man also drove into the cars in front of him and fell below the required safety distance, the police describe. When she stopped him, the man stated that he had to go home to his sick cat. The driver’s license was taken from the driver on the spot by the civil patrol and he was not allowed to continue driving. Now a complaint will be filed. (TT.com)
