BERLIN-The record-holder for speeding is...we don't know

Post by renovation »

BERLIN (Reuters) - A motorcyclist captured on film by German police racing at 155 miles per hour on a road near Berlin has set a new unofficial national record for speeding, Bild newspaper reported Monday.

Travelling more than twice the speed limit, the motorcycle rider was caught on film in a police radar trap near Bad Freienwalde outside Berlin but authorities don't know who the speeder was because motorcycles have no front license plates.

"We are not able to identify him," said Lothar Wiegand, a spokesman for the Brandenburg Transport Ministry in Potsdam.

While German motorists who break speed limits are identified by their license plates in police photos and receive their fines by mail shortly after their infractions, motorcycle riders often escape unpunished.

Now what would be the obvious solution to this problem?
I'm not lazy by nature, I work very hard at being lazy.

I saw a site on the 'net awhile back that had former Formula 1 driver Rene Arnoux with the fastest speeding ticket on record. 204mph on some highway in Northern Italy, driving a Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer.

Some guy in PA got clocked @ 186mph on I-80 near Mt. Pocono PA, just last year, while driving a Lamborghini Diablo.

155 is nuthin'.

Excessive speeds on public roads like this are just stupid ... Speeding like that on public roads should have the same punishment as attempted murder if you ask me. Hell, its the same thing.

And people are glorified by these feats. shesh.

you forget, my home base is in germany....

Germans love speed... that's why we can open it up on the autobahns and do 150+ mph (225+ KM/H). I know I've done it on the autobahn on a non-restricted portion. the thing is over there, a lot of speed aren't posted. Could have been a kid. bet you cash money, when the poletzi find him, his ass will get a beat down. Trust me their cops don't fuck around. Just fyi....

Towns 60 km/h - 50 km/h
Rural 100 km/h - 80/70/60 km/h
Rural highway 120 km/h
restricted autobahn 80/100/120/130 km/h
unrestricted autobahn as fast as you want.... fastest I've gone was 243 km/h
