Zug / Menzingen, 24.11.2020

Picked the wrong guys!

A motorcyclist who was massively exceeding the permitted speed limit was stopped in a built-up area at the weekend. In addition, his two-wheeler did not have all the statutory equipment.
A motorist who was travelling too fast on the motorway was also stopped.

Last Saturday afternoon, around 3.30 p.m. om the 21st November 2020, an unmarked police patrol on the Hauptstrasse from Menzingen was overtaken by a motorcyclist travelling in the direction of Edlibach. The motorcyclist accelerated hard and continued towards the city at high speed. The follow-up measurement showed a net speed of up to 90 km/h, whereby the maximum permitted speed on this section is 50 km/h.

The 22-year-old driver also repeatedly let go of his handlebars while driving and did not respond to the "Stop Police" sign, nor to the blue light and the siren

The motorcyclist was listening to music, his bike had no direction indicators and the rear-view mirror was broken
The motorcyclist noticed the police just before the Lorzentobel Bridge, and stopped. During the subsequent inspection, the police found that the 22-year-old had been listening to music while driving and was thereby distracted. In addition, his motorcycle was not properly equipped, the rear-view mirror was defective and both indicators and the legally prescribed retro-reflector were missing at the rear.

His driver's license was confiscated on the spot, and he will now have to appear before the Public Prosecutor of Zug.

Motorist driving at 139 km/h instead of permitted 80 km/h
A motorist who was travelling too fast on the A4 motorway in the direction of the Zug was also stopped at about 11:15 a.m. on Thursday, 19 November 2020. The 37-year-old driver clearly disregarded the indicated maximum speed of 80 km/h at the Lindencham motorway junction, which had been imposed due to an accident. The follow-up measurement by a unmarked police patrol showed a net speed of 139 km/h. The motorist was eventually stopped and checked in Baar. He will also answer for his misconduct before the Zug -Public Prosecutor.
