A couple engaged in sexual activity while driving at a speed of 90mph caused a near collision on a German autobahn. The pair, aged 37 and 33, were observed swerving across the A1 motorway on a Monday.
An eyewitness alerted the authorities after passing by the vehicle and witnessing the male driver and female passenger involved in the act. The couple was apprehended at a gas station outside Münster, with the man facing charges for reckless interference with traffic.
Reports from local media indicated that at one point, the vehicle, traveling towards Dortmund, veered so sharply to the right that a nearby truck was forced onto the hard shoulder.
While Germany’s Autobahn is renowned for its extensive stretches without speed limits, not all sections are unrestricted. Approximately 30% of the roads have speed restrictions, with an additional 9% utilizing traffic systems for optimal traffic flow. Certain areas impose strict limits, particularly where traffic volume or risk levels are higher.
In a separate incident in July, a driver was caught speeding at an astonishing 200mph on the Autobahn, exceeding the limit by more than 124mph. The driver, whose identity remained undisclosed, was apprehended during a routine check on the A2 highway near Burg, just west of Berlin.
Authorities in Magdeburg disclosed that the driver received a €900 (£784) fine, a three-month driving suspension, and a deduction of two points from their license.
