Over 400 kilometers per hour on the German highway. Is it really "still allowed"?

Sebastian M. was sentenced to eight years in prison for causing a fatal accident while driving over 300 km/h. This incident sparked discussions about stricter penalties for reckless drivers. Following the verdict, Sebastian Ross shared a video of a driver reaching 416 km/h in Germany, suggesting it was permissible there. However, while Germany has no speed limits on many highways, exceeding the recommended speed of 130 km/h can lead to shared liability in accidents. A case from 2006 illustrates this principle. The video Ross shared featured a Czech millionaire who drove at 417 km/h, but he faced an investigation for reckless driving, although he was not charged. This raises questions about the legality of such speeds in Germany, contradicting Ross's claims.
