    I’m guessing the Germans fined them in US dollars because he was driving in mph. I’m sure they would have been OK doing 320 kph.

    We Germans should do it like Denmark and confiscate his car and then take away the drivers license for good.

      At over double the speed limit this would usually be classed as dangerous driving (a more serious offence than speeding) and result in instant disqualification in the UK, too. Though you wouldn’t be banned for good.

    kph? Even if you don’t work with SI units, just don’t invent wrong ones. If lost, ask someone who knows. The correct abbreviation for “kilometers per hour” is km/h
