I hope they arrest him for that sh**t! Can you do that in Britain?
In Germany you can drive as fast as you want in town as long as you don't harm anybody you will be fine. You'll go to jail for a few years if you are in the wrong car make at the wrong time on the autobahn doing nothing wrong or forbidden on the other hand, but that's another story...
In Germany since this month it is now more expensive to drive too fast but it is still a joke:
Driving through town with over 110 km/h (which means at least 116 km/h since 5 km/h are "tolerance") instead of 50 km/h costs less than passing traffic lights which just turn red while you pass them!
(It's twice as expensive if they have been red for more than a second which is fine with me but why that harsh if they are just turning red?!)
Even a guy like that doing 110 mph instead of 30 mph could get his driver's license back after one year in Germany if he didn't kill or injure anybody!
But there's even a better thing in the German "Bussgeldkatalog" now:
Passing traffic lights when they are yellow or doing a call with your mobile phone while driving does now cost exactly the same amount as driving with your child without a seatbelt on the Autobahn at 250 km/h!
I think driving with a child with an unfastened seatbelt should cost 5,000 Euros or more! RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration
