Fair enough Mark, I understand your reason for believing what you do, and I’m glad your friend was OK. We may have to agree to differ on the speed cameras though.

It’s becoming obvious from your comments that you’re really just anti-police. How many times have they pulled you over and nicked you for driving too fast?

And I wasn’t going to say this but I will now. A good friend of mine was nearly killed a few years back when another driver was driving too fast and went straight into the back of her car. Both cars went off the road and hit a wall. My friend only survived because she was wearing her seatbelt and she had a good airbag (plus she had a lot of luck on her side).

That is why this post got me so pissed off from the start – because speed cameras are there for a reason. Not to collect revenue but to stop these stupid idiots who think it’s funny to flip the finger at the police and stomp their foot down on the accelerator.

Oh dear, you appear to be a member of the nanny state brigade….good luck with that :)

Losing control of a car due to speed is most frequently down to driving beyond your skill level or the cars ability….this guy could be a touring car driver for all you know….taking the piss out of the Police by activating a speed camera is not necessarily dangerous, some are placed just for revenue where speed limits are exceptionally over zealous.

Speed (within reason) isn’t dangerous….crap drivers are dangerous…ask a policeman in the pub when the pressure isn’t on…..

YES, breaking the speed limit IS really dangerous. If you go too fast, you lose control of the car and crash.

This stunt isn’t class, it’s total stupidity. I guarantee he won’t be laughing when the firemen are cutting him out of his car or if he’s killed someone.

Yeah cos breaking the speed limit is REALLY dangerous and makes you SUCH a bad driver…..the most common cause of accidents is lack of awareness (not paying attention). Speed is rarely the CAUSE of an accident, the police know this but continue to use it as a means to gather revenue, taking the piss out of the pisstakers with a well placed muppet is just class, kudos to the Audi driver.

Yeah great sense of humor when he smashes into someone and kills them. I don’t know why the police don’t stop the car on some pretext and give him a hard time. Maybe if the police ruined his day, this guy wouldn’t have such a great sense of humour on the German motorways anymore.

Isn’t it a bit ironic for the one country in Europe with approved speed limit-less highways are off searching for muppets?

Or rather…I can haz speed cam?

I don’t know what the police are like in Europe but if they know this guy’s license plate number and his identity, it won’t be long before they find something they can prosecute him for.
