A 59-year-old Swiss man was caught speeding at 203 km/h on the Brenner Autobahn (A13) in Tyrol, Austria, more than twice the legal limit.

The incident occurred on Saturday near Steinach am Brenner, where a police patrol detected the excessive speed of the Italian sports car.

The driver continued to speed through a construction zone on the Lueg Bridge, reaching 145 km/h in a 60 km/h zone.

As a result, the driver's license was confiscated on the spot.

However, the vehicle, identified as a company car, was not impounded by the authorities.
