On Saturday evening in Prague’s... well, actually Plzeň’s Lochotín district, a radar in a municipal police patrol car caught a motorcyclist speeding at 120 km/h on Karlovarská Street, where the city speed limit is 50 km/h.

According to Jana Pužmanová, spokesperson for the Plzeň City Police, the driver was clocked at more than double the allowed speed. “On a racetrack, a figure like that wouldn’t raise an eyebrow, but Karlovarská Street is certainly not the place for it. There are intersections nearby, other cars, pedestrians, and countless situations a driver moving that fast simply can’t anticipate in time,” she stressed.

An administrative body will now decide on the punishment for the motorcyclist. Pužmanová noted that the driver faces a fine of up to 25,000 CZK, a driving ban of six to eighteen months, and six penalty points added to his driving record.
