20-year-old driving Audi at 215 KILOMETERS PER HOUR: Video of Belgrade rampage published
The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) has published a video that captured aggressive driving on the highway near the Belgrade municipality of Surcin, when members of the traffic police intercepted 20-year-old M.R. while he was driving an Audi at a record of 215 kilometers per hour.
The speed limit on this stretch of the highway is 100 km/h. The young driver was immediately excluded from traffic, and a misdemeanor complaint was filed against him for violent driving.
Members of the Traffic Police Administration at the Police Directorate, who patrol in unmarked vehicles with interceptors, spotted and stopped the car with Austrian license plates last night, around 01:00 hours.
The vehicle was driven by M.R. (20), a citizen of the Republic of Serbia.
Dark July statistics: 35 people die on Serbian roads
In light of this latest incident, the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a dramatic warning to the public, drawing attention to the alarming situations on the roads throughout Serbia.
Despite intensive traffic controls and a large number of implemented preventive activities, as many as 35 people have been killed in traffic accidents since the beginning of July. Of particular concern is the fact that as many as 11 people under the age of 30 are among the victims.
MUP: Speeding is still number one killer
The MUP once again appealed on all participants in traffic to consistently follow traffic regulations, especially regarding speed limits. They stress that unadjusted speed is the most common cause of traffic accidents that result in deaths and serious injuries.
Members of the traffic police say that they will continue with increased control measures and consistent use of their legal powers against all perpetrators of the most serious violations, with the aim of improving safety and protecting human lives.
