Heilbronn and Salzburg police crackdown on speeders and drunk drivers

In Heilbronn, Germany, the local police unit targeting "poser" and "racer" scenes carried out intensive night‑time checks in the city centre. Officers inspected 23 vehicles, seized a Hyundai i30 N after repeated noise complaints, and recorded seven violations, including an illegal street race and speed excesses of up to 50 km/h over the limit. Drivers had their licences and phones confiscated and faced fines and points.

In Salzburg, Austria, police actions on 4–5 August stopped several serious traffic offences. A 46‑year‑old Ukrainian truck driver was found with 1.26 ‰ alcohol and had his licence withdrawn. A 28‑year‑old Syrian driver was caught driving 79 km/h in a 30 km/h zone while his pregnant wife and two‑year‑old son were in the car; his licence was also revoked. An 18‑year‑old motorcyclist fled a police pursuit, crashed, and was found with 0.78 ‰ alcohol, resulting in multiple charges and a licence suspension.
