Except in Germany!

(Technically correct is the best kind of correct)

I believe the Autobahn still carries the legal requirement to drive at a safe speed at all times. Pedal to the floor racing is not often safe speeds for a public road.

Yes, yet [1] happened where someone took precautions to drive safely at >400 km/h speed.

It sounds like an investigation was quite reasonable, and then it cleared him before charges were pressed. Seems pretty good!

I mean, every person who purchases a car does so, at least implicitly. The very act of obtaining a driving license contains an (often explicit) promise to abide by the rules of the road.

You’re conflating two things and ignoring the thrust of the point: nobody buys a fast car to drive it slowly. Maybe some people do, the vast majority do not.

If promises about licenses meant a damn, we wouldn’t have speeding cameras.

The promise is still made, regardless of whether one plans to keep it

No, the “promise” is forced. It’s like an arranged marriage.
