The Pfäffikon ZH District Court has convicted a motorist who harassed other drivers on the A1 in a very dangerous way.
The fast-paced journey took place in mid-May 2019 from Winterthur ZH to Zurich. The then 35-year-old Syrian sat in several cars at a distance of only five to ten meters, and at the speed of the highway. In between, the man actually sped up, drove at 160 km / h instead of the allowed 100, and ran through a construction site at 137 km / h, where the speed was 60.
The prosecutor said the man had “knowingly and voluntarily accepted the high risk of an accident with serious injuries or deaths.”
As the “Zürcher Oberländer” writes, the sprinter, who lives in a municipality in the northeast of the canton of Zurich, wanted to cover a distance in ten minutes that would otherwise take almost an hour. The reason for the wild trip was not an important appointment, but a salsa course in Zurich-Altstetten.
Missing ticket
The process was carried out in the abbreviated procedure. The Syrian received an 18-month suspended prison term and a fine of 1,500 francs for qualified and multiple serious infractions of traffic regulations, a punishment that was “at the lower limit” for the court. In addition, you have to fork out the procedural costs of CHF 3,000 and hand over the ticket for an indefinite period.
So that the man could control his assault, he was placed in a state training program for unsafe highway users after the incident. The anti-stress course was “a very good course,” the man said in court. Learn to manage stress and emotions. Therefore, he could promise that he would “never travel so fast again”. (gf)
