A motorist was slapped with a $1,000 fine for driving at a ‘record' 199 mph on Germany's Autobahn
A motorist was clocked driving at more than 320 kph (199 mph) on the Autobahn west of Berlin, a record high at more than 124 mph above the speed limit, German police said. The speedster, who was not identified, was caught while racing along the A2 highway near Burg on July 28. The driver was handed a fine of 900 euros ($1,043), stripped of two points from his driver's license and banned from driving for three months, the Magdeburg police office said Tuesday. A roadside radar stand, known as an 'Enforcement Trailer,' caught the motorist in a routine check. A reading from its display showed 'the highest record speed' of 321 kph, police said. Germany's famed Autobahn motorways have captured fascination and interest around the world for their lack of speeding limits. German authorities and driving clubs have argued over the years about whether the policy should continue. Limitless speeds aren't universal on the Autobahn, though, as parts of the motorway are subject to speed limits. The section of the motorway where the record-breaking driver was caught has a limit of 120 kph (74.5 mph).

Man fined after clocking near 200mph on German motorway
An unidentified motorist was caught driving at 321 kph (199 mph) on the A2 Autobahn near Burg, west of Berlin. This speed was more than 124 mph above the 120 kph (74.5 mph) speed limit for that particular section of the motorway. The driver was detected by a roadside radar stand, an 'Enforcement Trailer,' on 28 July. As a result, the motorist received a fine of 900 euros, had two points deducted from their driving licence, and was banned from driving for three months. While Germany's Autobahn is famous for its lack of universal speed limits, approximately 30 per cent of its network, including the section where the incident occurred, does have restrictions.
