Basel-Landschaft police seize car of suspected speeder
The canton police of Basel-Landschaft has seized the car of a man who was driving at far excessive speed on the A22 motorway in Liestal. The speed measurement was carried out on Wednesday at 15.50, as the authority reported on Friday. The officers were able to apprehend the suspect the following day.
It is a Hungarian national residing in France. Even after deducting the statutory tolerance, he was still 68 kilometres per hour over the permitted maximum speed of 80 km/h. His conduct thus meets the criminal offence of reckless speeding.
The public prosecutor has opened criminal proceedings. The police also impounded the man's vehicle.
