Perhaps one of the most dangerous aspects of high-speed driving on highways other than the Autobahn isn’t so much about the fact that these roads may have never been designed for extreme speeds, as it is about other road users not being prepared or always aware of vehicles or motorcycles approaching them at lightning speeds.
What we’re trying to say is that, on select parts of the Autobahn, you know that cars and bikes will approach and pass you at triple figure speeds, so you drive accordingly and are (or should) always be on the watch out – not that accidents don’t happen.
In this video, we see a motorcyclist reaching speeds of 240km/h (149mph) when a Suzuki Swift Sport suddenly pops out of the middle lane and enters his left lane. The biker’s reaction was…swift and to the point, something that certainly saved his life.
See the video for yourself below.
