Sebastian M. was sentenced to eight years in prison for causing a fatal accident while driving over 300 km/h. A psychologist highlighted the phenomenon of speed adaptation, noting that drivers often disregard their surroundings and feel invincible. This mindset leads to dangerous behavior on public roads, where drivers fail to recognize the risks they pose to others. The psychologist emphasized that even at high speeds, drivers must remain aware of their vehicle's capabilities and the potential dangers of the road.
