ORF reported that a 17-year-old drove a rental car at 115 km/h along Schottenring, a central Vienna road, on Monday afternoon, where the speed limit is 50 km/h.
Officers from the Deutschmeisterplatz police station were carrying out a targeted traffic operation at about 1.30 p.m. when a speed camera recorded the teenager’s speed.
The Syrian national was stopped and found not to have a valid driving licence. He was also driving a rental car hired by a friend, who did not know the teenager had taken it.
The car was returned to the rental company. Police filed several reports against the teenager, including on suspicion of unauthorised use of a vehicle.
