Brno police stop Porsche driver speeding by almost 100 km/h

Electric Porsche driver caught speeding by almost 100 km/h in Brno

In Brno, police recorded a speeding record: the driver of an electric Porsche was going almost 100 km/h over the limit. The measurement was taken on Friday shortly before noon near a petrol station in the direction of Svitavy, and police reported the case on Wednesday.

According to police spokesman David Haloupka, the driver’s licence was confiscated on the spot, and he will also answer for the offence before an administrative authority.

Haloupka noted that excessive speed has long been among the most common causes of serious crashes. Such extreme speeding where other drivers obey the limits greatly increases the risk of an accident with serious consequences, he warned.
