Judge Orders Man Convicted of Speeding, Driving Recklessly to Sell His BMW 440i
In Germany, as you probably know, there are no speed limits on some parts of the Autobahn highway network. Which is of course just fine with motorists who like speed and cars that can give them some.
However, the country has strict rules and regulations on how its citizens should behave on the road, as a motorist who broke the rules recently and fled from the police learned the hard way. This bit of news comes courtesy the Carscoops website.
The man in question is a 23-year-old from Ludwigsburg, Germany, a town about 12 km north of Stuttgart. After doing burnouts at a location in the city in April, he fled when police arrived at the scene. Officers say he reached speeds in excess of 100 km/h in urban areas, while ignoring red lights, even driving on a sidewalk.
According to information shared by the local newspaper Stuttgarter Nachrichten, the police had trouble keeping up with his BMW. The responding officer was quoted as saying, “I got the most out of our police car and its 192 hp and I couldn't keep up. I gave up on Marienstrasse, because I couldn't drive 120 km/h responsibly there.”
