Between March 13 and May 1, the motorcyclist was recorded seven times by a speed measuring device in urban areas, as the Thurgau cantonal police wrote on Thursday. The 18-year-old exceeded the speed limit on his motorcycle by at least 23 km/h each time.
After deducting the safety margin, the measurement showed that he was exceeding the speed limit by 50 km/h on one occasion. This corresponds to a speeding offense, the police added.
Although the motorcycle's license plate was falsified or partially missing, the police were able to identify an 18-year-old Swiss national from the canton of St. Gallen. He had been on the road without a driver's license for the relevant category on some of the journeys. The young man confessed. He had to surrender his learner's license.
