Unterallgäu – Overtaking on the right, stinky fingers and a cup thrown: A 30-year-old Swiss man was guilty of several offenses on Saturday evening on the A96 between Erkheim and the Kohlberg tunnel.
The man was then stopped near Landsberg.
At around 7.15 p.m. on Saturday evening, the two-lane section of the A96 (direction Munich) between the Erkheim junction and the Kohlberg tunnel was on.
Three drivers and their occupants were endangered by the pushing, overtaking and braking of the Swiss speeder, the police said.
The cause was "the aggressive driving style" of the 30-year-old with his black BMW X5.
As several witnesses reported, overtaking a small white car probably took too long for the Swiss.
So he decided without further ado to overtake the small car and vehicle in the right lane on the hard shoulder.
The Swiss is said to have driven at a speed of around 120 km/h.
And that's not all: the Swiss was still bothered by the supposedly slow driving of the small car, so that after overtaking on the right, he sat in front of it and intentionally braked so hard that there was no rear-end collision by a hair's breadth.
Now an overtaking Mercedes driver from the Augsburg district also intervened.
When he wanted to pass the Swiss, the 30-year-old threw a filled coffee mug on the Mercedes and gave the passenger the finger.
A patrol from the Fürstenfeldbruck traffic police inspection also found the 30-year-old Swiss at Hohe Buchloe and stopped him at the Lechwiesen-Süd rest area.
Investigations have now been initiated, among other things, because of dangerous interference in road traffic, endangering road traffic, coercion in road traffic and insult, the police said.
After paying a four-digit security deposit, the Swiss was allowed to continue driving.
Witnesses to the incident are asked to contact the Memmingen motorway police station on tel. 08331/100311 or the Fürstenfeldbruck traffic police station on tel. 089/89118-0.
