"Lieber arm dran als Arm ab." This news adds a new meaning to the term "headless racer". :smug:

Quote: "Obviously, driving at a speed like that, arms or not, you're just waiting for an accident." - What, at 121 km/h? That traffic cop obviously never has been in Germany.

Incedently, 120km/h is the speed everyone drives at on major highways here in Canada. The legal limit is actually 100, but everyone drives at 120 and the cops don't ticket anyone who's not going significatly faster than that.

I thought that was a joke, because he doesn't have any hands, to hold anything, you know.

Really funny story. I especially liked this line The driver, whose name has not been published... Hardly necessairy with such a description.
