Speeder Story

 Local AM news (in my state of Hessen) was chatty over a court case to occur today.  

Back almost a year ago, some German motorcyclist was noted at excessive speeds on 3 ....going toward Wurzburg. 

Cops tried to catch up with him.....doing 250 kph.  They considered his driving to be reckless.  Failed on catching up.  

So this has gone to court.  

If this was not a speed controlled section of the autobahn?  Well....that's really the whole discussion to occur.  Cops can say some form of reckless driving was going on, but unless there's solid video of this.....might not be an easy case to prosecute.  If convicted?  I would imagine he'll lose his license permanently.  

I'll just say this....you see excessive speed a good bit on German autobahns....in the more rural regions of Germany (like driving from Mainz to Kaiserslautern).  Defining it as reckless is a difficult task.
