Some precision from the German original news: the whole array of technology was SWITCHED ON. I was a little bit outraged by that they left him off the hook due to doubts that he actually had used them during driving.
He was also reported to have racing with 200 km/h and was totally undiscerning, in fact was described by police to be angry and even hostile towards the patrol, complaining about missing some meeting.
According to my rule book, such people, and Autobahn racers in general, are prime candidates to lose their license for two years, then having to redo full driving school lectures for full fees. Plus a full psychological examination and character assessment. I honestly believe that some people should be banned for life from being allowed to drive cars in public traffic.
