A driver sped at 347 on a highway without restrictions, yet ended up in court

Michael Spegel, known as Gercollector, faced court in Munich for illegal street racing, accused of driving 347 km/h on the A8 highway. The prosecution argues that despite no speed limit, the traffic conditions made such speed reckless. Another incident involving a 312 km/h speed in an Aston Martin is also cited. In Germany, illegal racing can occur even without another competitor if driving is excessively reckless. Spegel's defense disputes the allegations, citing expert analysis suggesting no illegal racing took place. The trial on October 30 ended without a verdict due to scheduling issues, and Spegel did not testify. Penalties for illegal racing can include fines or imprisonment.
