    That is so bloody dangerous. I know theres no speed limit on the Autobahn but could he not be done for dangerous driving ?

    Except that in this case the driver doesn't just *think* he's a racing driver ... he IS one :D

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans-Joachim_Stuck

    EDIT
    As he also is on a contract with BMW (most of the time), I would suspect that BMW was involved in making this clip.

    So if you think this is dangerous and irresponsible ...please don't buy a BMW as a means of protest :D:D:D

    I did a shade over 105mph in a 1.2 Clio on the autobahn. Id feel safer doing 194 in a m6 tbh!

    Ive done 130mph in my car when I was young and stupid, but Im not proud of it now. I cant imagine 194 in any car, with any driver, would be safe with all that traffic

    psh .. i was doing 180-190 kph for around 150 km on the Autobahn today and that was the reading off the sat nav, the Speedo on the dash was showing between 200 and 210 :D

    Thats quite slow though, there were people passing me out like i was standing still.

    I didn't think it was dangerous, he was obviously in control, it was awesome how fast it dropped speed though.

    If you want to see some real dangerous driving, look at this,

    No because he did nothing dangerous and everyone on it knows the rules, knows that if you drive slow don't use the left lane, if don't have a full license you don't get to even go near a car on your own and it's got the same accident rate as our limited roads.

    There are areas with limits and those without. He didn't cause any accidents or problems for anybody - Germany isn't the police state that the UK, Ireland are.

    Your having a laugh! 194 on the M50 with all the overtaking lane hoggers, You barely get to do the speed limit on that road at the best of times.

    This is pathetic. Germany's Autobahns with no speed limit have been shown in the most recent German Government study to be no more dangerous than those with a speed limit. In any event, can the anti speed lobby please explain to me why Germany's Autobahns(half of which still don't have a speed limit btw) have an accident rate of not even 1/2 the rate it is here, yet our speed limits are only 120 km/h?

    (the link shows the number of deaths per vehicle billion kilometres(in 2005), Deutschland=Germany, Irland =Ireland, "Alle Straßen"=all roads, AADT is the same in both languages, and Tempolimit= speed limit).

    @the OP, have you ever travelled faster than the speed limit of 120 km/h before?

    I have travelled at speeds as high as 180 km/h on German Autobahns and I can tell you it to be true that it is not nearly as bad as you make it out to be. You actually make progress when you hit the ton as it's called in old money(160 km/h or 100 mph). Only when you go beyond 160 km/h does it actually feel fast.

    And if you watch the video at the end, you will hear the other driver in the Z4 who is clearly a Yank, so the reason why they're using mph is because this programme was made for American TV.


    Here is an M6 doing 332 km/h or 206 mph according to the GPS.
