Germany: No charges for Czech tycoon’s 257 MPH stunt

  Driver drives on road made for speed in car made for speed and on roads with no limits and doesn't get fined. Also, water wet and fire burns... News at 11! (Faceplam)

    There is an recommended limit of 130km/h on every Autobahn -- if you drive faster and have an accident you're always responsible at least in parts. Plus: you have to be able to drive by sight -- the same stunt during night-time could have led to a hefty penalty. He didn't get fined because all the circumstances were good enough (morning hours = close to no traffic and good sight; no provable problems driving at that speed).

  "Passer had not endangered anyone because he had chosen the best time and conditions for the stunt." Was the autobahn empty? I highly doubt it. There has to be another reason why they didn't charge him.

    It was 3 lane road. If it was empty then practically nobody was on the 3rd lane. German drivers are very predictable and don't do stupid moves. In France, even when there were highways without limits, it would have been impossible to do securely enough. Would be also difficult close to Polish border.
