Full throttle towards 2 months without a license
Mercedes rear-ends a plainclothes police car – at 178 km/h and at a distance of only 13 meters. The punishment is not small at all.
It seems that someone has ignored what they learned during their driving course about distance: on the A20 motorway near Grimmen (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern), a Mercedes driver inadvertently put on a show for the police - now he will have to walk for several months.
On November 26, 2024, a police car in Stralsund was driving in the far left lane of the highway – at a speed of 170-180 km/h. However, the driver of a Mercedes from Neuruppin (Brandenburg) was clearly in a hurry and this speed seemed slow to him. He stepped on the gas and came within just 13 meters of the police car, chasing it for several hundred meters. The stupid thing is that the car that was pinned down was a plainclothes police car. The law enforcement officers captured the performance on video: instead of the required 85 meters of distance – the rule is half of what the speedometer shows – the driver of the Mercedes was driving at 178 km/h!
The punishment: a 320 euro fine, two points taken away and two months without the right to drive.
After the push, the driver gave full throttle.
The driver of the Mercedes didn't seem to calm down after the police pulled over to the right and made room for him – instead, the 60-year-old driver hit the gas and accelerated to 250 km/h! The police subsequently stopped the offender.
His reaction: The man denied his guilt and told the police that the leftmost lane of the highway had no speed limit, meaning it was reserved for cars traveling at over 200 km/h. Will this absurd claim hold up in court? Hardly.
When driving at speeds of 170 km/h and above, there is no time to react - there is no way to avoid a possible impact with serious consequences.
