A totally reckless German motorist has just set a sad and alarming new speed record.
The individual was caught driving at a staggering speed of 320 km/h in a Porsche Panamera on the A2 motorway, near the town of Burg in Saxony-Anhalt. This dizzying speed, nearly three times the allowed limit of 120 km/h on this stretch, has immediately made headlines across the country.
While German motorways are often seen as a paradise for speed enthusiasts due to the absence of a general speed limit, many sections are indeed regulated, particularly in congested areas or where construction is taking place. This was the case here, and the consequences for the driver are almost trivial compared to the recorded speed, with a fine of 900 euros and a three-month driving ban.
Around speed, a perilous balance between freedom and safety
The incident has, of course, reignited the old debate in Germany. Should the zones of unrestricted speed be abolished and a national speed limit implemented? The arguments of supporters of a cap are well known – road safety, reduction of emissions, combating risky behaviors – but struggle to assert themselves against the deep cultural attachment to the freedom of the autobahn, fervently defended by car clubs and industry lobbies.
