OPINION | Here's why 300km/h highways work in Germany – but not in SA

The driver who recorded himself doing 300km/h in Gauteng, had better options for enjoying his sportscar.

It has always been a compelling argument in favour of the sportscar lobby, that Germany has incredibly low highway fatality statistics. Especially if you consider its traffic density, dangerous winter weather and the freedom of unrestricted highway speeds. Another issue is that pedestrians and animal cannot reach, much less cross, the German autobahn. You never have to be anxious about someone randomly sprinting across the highway in Germany. But what of the case regarding this driver who did 300km/h in his Audi? There is no justifiable way he had the right to do that, but he does have the right to own and enjoy a car of that performance.

Don’t need to read the article... but maybe they obey the road rules 🤦‍♂️

First world and law abiding. SA 10th world no respect for law, other road users.

They don't have our taxi problem.. They get their license legally.

So ever drive a vehicle under 10 hours from Johannesburg to Cape Town.
