    Hope it´s not a repost:

    I think 180 km/h during normal traffic where 100 km/h is allowed is a bit too much and a fine is in place. But the comment to the video is IMO completely unacceptable: "Racing", "reckless driving", "the most shocking thing was that one of the drivers had his 8yrs old son with him" ...

    Complete bull****! For sure they took the most "shocking" scenes for the video and besides speeding I can´t see anything that would justify such a comment.

    The video says 100km more than allowed, so that would make the limit 80. Look at the cars in the other lane - they're doing around 130 by the looks of it, so it is not like the drivers were overtaking with 100km/h speed differential.

    I think the drivers were not allowing enough distance between cars but the cufflinks when apprehending were ridiculous. All in all a sad bit of sensationalist reporting, but it's not like you read Der Spiegel for non-opinionated news.
