    62 is not "far above" 50 though really is it?

    Re: 62mph on a skateboard, on the autobahn..

    Fine him for speeding, take away his driver's lisence, forbid him from skating on the road again and then jail him for dangerous driving?

    If it were America of course, that could be simplified to "Sue him"
    If it were China, that could be simplified to "Kill him"

    You have to admire the legal system in Europe that allows people like this to be convicted of so many crimes simultaneously.

    Wow, they must have smooth roads in Germany, I remeber going down a hill at about 25mph on my skateboard and getting totally numb feet through the vibrations from the rough road. Also, wouldn't want to hit a stone at those speeds
