The German police report that there is no speed limit on the stretch of highway in question, between Berlin and Hanover. The road traffic regulations only state that anyone who drives a vehicle must ensure that the vehicle is always under control.
That is jeopardized at such a speed, quote German media expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer. Speeds of more than 400 kilometers per hour are extremely dangerous, he says. “The higher the speed, the longer the braking distance.”
Dudenhöffer wonders whether drivers should have free rein on the autobahn, while doing so could endanger human lives. According to him, the video should be a reason to think about what is and is not allowed on the German highways.
