A driver received a fine of over $1,000 after being caught driving at 320 km/h on a section of a German highway with a speed limit of 120 km/h.
The incident occurred on the Autobahn to the west of Berlin, according to the German police. The driver, who was not identified, was caught speeding on the A2 near Burg on July 28.
He was subsequently fined 900 euros (equivalent to about $1,043), received two points on his driving license, and was banned from driving for three months, according to the Magdeburg police on Tuesday (5).
The “record speed” was registered by a roadside radar known as the “Enforcement Trailer” during a routine check. The display showed that he was traveling at 321 km/h, according to the police.
Germany’s Autobahns are famous for having no speed limit. However, this rule is not universal, and some sections of the highway are subject to speed limits. The section of the highway where the driver was caught, for instance, has a speed limit of 120 km/h.
