What’s not on the picture: The BMW approaching in the rear-view mirror flashing the long beams.
Remember, no matter how fast you go on the Autobahn, there is always someone faster than you.
You can tell he is American because he blocks the left line while the right lane is free
There is a blue van in the right lane, and at 270 km/h (168 MPH), he’s going to be right behind it in a second. Therefore the lane is not – in fact – free.
I hope for everyone’s sake you don’t drive.
Also he’s doing 270 going into a stretch limited to 120. IDK what German traffic laws are like, but the image I have of Germany is that you guys have even harsher punishments than us in Denmark. If you did 270 in a 120 in DK, you’d get a 2000€ fine (15000DKK), as well losing both your license and your car. You might even get jail time.
What’s even worse is that as a foreigner (maybe not a Schengen citizen, but definitely Americans) we don’t trust you to pay the fine, so you’d be detained until you get the money. I’ve seen policeshows where foreigners are even driven to ATMs, and it seems a bit like extortion.
Actually, our punishments for speeding are very mild compared to much of the rest of Europe. Going over the limit by such a margin will get you lose your license though.
