Driver Caught at 245 km/h on Lajkovac-Valjevo Motorway
An interceptor crew stopped a driver on a stretch with a 100 km/h limit. He was removed from traffic and faces a misdemeanor complaint for reckless driving.
The crew of a Traffic Police Directorate interceptor vehicle stopped a driver on the Lajkovac-Valjevo motorway who was doing 245 kilometers per hour on a stretch with a limit of 100 km/h. The Interior Ministry (MUP) announced it on Tuesday evening, October 13.
The recorded speed was almost two and a half times the legal limit, 145 kilometers per hour over it.
The driver was removed from traffic, and a misdemeanor complaint for reckless driving was filed against him. MUP says that by driving at that speed he endangered his own life as well as the lives of other road users.
What do we know about the driver and the car?
The ministry’s statement does not name the make of the car. Kurir reports that it was an Audi, which MUP has not confirmed.
The driver’s name, initials and age have not been released. There is also no information on whether his vehicle was seized or whether he was detained.
MUP posted footage of the stop on its Instagram account.
How does the police check speed?
The Traffic Police Directorate within the police headquarters monitors traffic with unmarked vehicles known as interceptors. A vehicle of that type was used to stop the driver on the Lajkovac-Valjevo motorway.
