A 19-year-old probationary driver was caught driving 190 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on the B67 near Feldkirchen, Austria, early Thursday morning.

A speed measurement in Feldkirchen recorded 190 km/h, prompting officers to stop the car, where the young driver from Graz-Umgebung gave his explanation. The probationary license holder had his driver's license provisionally confiscated and his car seized. He now faces criminal charges for the extreme speeding violation.
