The Lucerne Criminal Court found the man (20) guilty of several violations of the Road Traffic Act. On December 19, 2020, the then 19-year-old was much too fast on Willisauerstrasse in Alberswil LU: The helicopter had a “legally permitted maximum speed of 60 km / h outside the city, minus a safety margin of 6 km / h, up to a net speed of 77 km / h”, in accordance with the court’s decision.
According to the assessment of the Road Traffic Office, the car was in a “dangerous and non-compliant condition” while driving. For example, the muffler system was incomplete and incorrectly installed and the rims were not checked and approved. A blister had formed on the tire due to the damage, “there was a serious danger of ‘tire bursting” which would have resulted in an immediate loss of control of the car, “says the verdict. In addition, the brake discs were badly worn.
Caught at the wheel with no ID
In addition, at the end of November, just a few weeks earlier, the man’s car was seized by the Lucerne police and handed over to an expert. “Various shortcomings and modifications” were identified. The vehicle, after re-examination by the Road Traffic Office, showed basically the same defects and unacceptable modifications.
Already in February 2021, the speeding offender had to deal with the police again: he drove his car from Martigny to Riddes VS, even though his driving license was revoked during the inspection in December.
Speeding, driving in a dangerous condition and driving despite the confiscation of a car ticket now have consequences for the 20-year-old. The criminal court found him guilty of these charges and sentenced him to a suspended 20-month prison sentence and a fine. In addition, his car has been confiscated and must pay for legal costs. The verdict is final.
