The section of the road Passer was on has no fixed speed limit, so he didn’t technically break any laws, but the Ministry said in a statement Wednesday that it “rejects any behavior in road traffic that leads or can lead to endangering road users.”
“All road users must abide by the rules of the road traffic regulations,” it added, citing the first clause of Germany’s road traffic law, which states that “anyone participating in traffic must behave in such a way that no other person is harmed, endangered or obstructed or inconvenienced more than is unavoidable under the circumstances.”

I cannot argue that what was done here was not dangerous, but I also find it difficult to justify criminal charges for someone who broke no laws. There is then nothing that cannot be charged as a crime.
If authorities are so concerned about this, then impose a limit. The underlying issue here is not that this man drove his Chiron so fast, which obviously imposes a danger, even if it did not actually cause harm, but of having no speed limit in place.
In my view the law allows what he did. If that is unacceptable, then change the law.
