Autobahn: 149 km/h through roadworks

A 42-year old driver has to pay 900 Euro for speeding on the autobahn Thursday morning. The man was going along in a rental car on the A5 near Weiterstadt. A camera has caught him going at 149 km/h in the road works area. Only 80 is allowed there, so the police. Because the driver has no residence in Germany, he has to pay the 900€ as a “security payment”.

Holy crap. I go along there every week a few times, and virtually noone is keeping inside the speed limit… a good thing I’m already out of the probation time, and have never been caught *shudder*.
