Car race on the motorway

Two young men raced from Rotkreuz to Küssnacht Sunday. One was driving under the influence of alcohol, the other had a provisional driving license.

The 24 year of Swiss and 22 year old Italian were drving Sunday afternoon on the motorway from Lucerne towards Zug. In Rotkreuz they changed direction and drove towards Schwyz. After the Rütihof junction they sped up and started racing towards Küssnacht.  According to the Police, they were driving over 185 km/h. The speed limit was 120 km/h. 

“That it had started to rain and many other vehicles were on the road didn’t seem to bother the two in the least” wrote the Zuger Police in their press release.

 

The two racers were stopped at the Küssnacht exit and checked. An alcohol test showed the 24 year old Swiss had 0.7 pro mille in his blood and the 22 year old Italian only had a provisional license. Both lost their drivers license.

The Swiss was driving a BMW 330. According to the police, he admitted to his dislike of other automobile brands, and had wanted to “show” the Audi TT.
