There's a 39-kilometer autobahn piece existing between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden...referred to as part of A66. You can typically drive this in 35 minutes (at least on a good day). On a low-traffic day? You might be able to drive it in 30 minutes. Most of the autobahn piece is a controlled speed....meaning roughly a 100 to 120 kph speed is mandated. There's a few sections still left where it's unlimited, but cops will readily tell you.....you need to drive a safe speed.
So yesterday, German cops got called and noted two particular drivers. One was driving a Lamborghini (560 horsepower), and the other was driving an Audi R8 (610 horsepower). The two were racing against each other at speeds of 300 kph (186 mph).
Yeah, this proved to be a problem.
But the guys argued with the cops and said they weren't racing, and they were in the area of the autobahn which has no restricted speed.
Stupid behavior? Well....yeah. It's guys like this who screw up and typically trigger some five-car accident.
