A driver of a Porsche recently drove on the A50 at a speed of more than 260 kilometers per hour. In any case, he did that at the height of Uden, Volkel, Zeeland and Vorstenbosch, can be seen on images that are online.
The video images, made by someone who appears to be sitting in the co-driver’s seat, can be found on the video website dumper. It is filmed how it accelerates to at least 264 kilometers per hour. At that speed, the car is then overtaken on the right and left and torn across the hard shoulder.
According to a spokesman, the traffic police of East Brabant is familiar with the images. “They are investigating the identity of the driver and the authenticity of the video.” The spokesperson indicates that the video has ‘a number of promising leads’. “But it would of course be even better if the actual driver of the car in the video reports to us.”
Videos of speed demons
Maniacs who race on the (highway) road at high speed and share images of it on social media have recently been under a magnifying glass. That is, after a number of fatal accidents have taken place.
For example at Sprang-Capelle. A 33-year-old man from Zevenbergschen Hoek drove a young family to death there, while filming how he drove on the A59 at 250 per hour. He did that filming many times before. According to the officer, thirteen serious traffic violations can be seen in 23 different videos.
Things also went horribly wrong in Oud Gastel. A driver from Roosendaal drove too fast at one hundred kilometers per hour, killing two women and two children.
299 per hour
Last week, a motorcyclist posted images online showing that he is driving on a N-road at 299 kilometers per hour. More and more voices are calling for the ‘glorification’ of high-speed tearing to be made a criminal offence.
