Speeding driver clocked doing 199mph on German autobahn
Briefly

German police detected a Porsche driver reaching 199mph (320km/h) on the autobahn, almost three times the posted speed limit of 75mph (120km/h). The motorist faces a fine of 900 euros and a three-month license suspension. While Germany is known for sections of the autobahn without speed limits, many have speed caps in high-traffic areas or due to roadworks. Local authorities in Saxony-Anhalt are increasing enforcement with speed camera operations to combat illegal racing and speeding.
