On Monday, the police launched an investigation into a speeder who was traveling at 417 kilometers per hour on the A2 and posted a video of it online.
After intensive tests over the weekend, the driver is now being investigated for an illegal street race, a police spokeswoman said.
This will now be passed on to the public prosecutor's office for legal assessment.
Magdeburg – The video shows how a sports car shoots over Autobahn 2 at up to 417 kilometers per hour. The police spokeswoman said the behavior was irresponsible. The video was previously published on a Czech millionaire's Youtube channel. According to this, the recordings are said to date back to last July, but were only put online at the beginning of the year. Several media reported about her.
The Federal Ministry of Transport was also critical.
Any behavior on the road that leads or can lead to a hazard to road users will be rejected, a spokeswoman said.
“All road users must comply with the rules of the road traffic regulations.” The spokeswoman referred to the road traffic regulations, which state, among other things: “Anyone who drives a vehicle may only drive so fast that the vehicle is constantly under control.”
