A driver on the M1 motorway in Hungary was caught traveling at 174 km/h in a zone restricted to 100 km/h due to road construction and lane diversions. The incident took place in the Komárom-Esztergom County region. The driver admitted to the speeding violation and paid an administrative fine of 140,000 HUF. Authorities noted the high speed was particularly hazardous given the ongoing roadworks and extreme heat.
