He was only an idiot to get caught. In Germany, this is standard driving.

There's nothing unsafe about driving that fast if you do it properly, and he had the right "equipment". Just because he broke the law doesn't mean he was unsafe.

Those are normal speeds in Germany, however one should not do 275 on the A420.

Jason McAllister was jailed for 5 months, this guy could easily get a year or 2.
And it wasn't even a motorway, just an A road...2 lanes.
