I was going down A66 from Wiesbaden and had a car fly past me on the right while I was in the lane merging onto A5. Dude was flipping me off (which is a big no-no) and swerved in front of me causing me to either slam on my brakes or hit him. All while we were doing about 130KPH. I managed to keep the car straight but a couple of cars behind me hit the dirt.
As I got down the road a little closer to the frankfort airport I found myself catching up with the car and the dude started swerving in front of me, and onetime nearly caused me to get into the center barrier. If you have driven near the Frankfort airport you know what I am talking about. The last time he did this I slammed on my brakes, as did three other cars and he made his getaway.
Oh yeah, did I mention that this was at 1700 and traffic was pretty thick. I had however whipped out the camera and taken pictures of his license plate and him and when i got home I went to the polizei and reported it. They looked at the pictures of the kid and laughed
"oh yeah, young turk" (They do not necessarily like turks here) and said they would take care of it.
About six months later I get a letter from the Darmstadt Polizei office explainng what happened in the investigation. They called the other people from tracing down their license plates and got witness statements from them. The tracked the license plate of the young turks car and found that it was registered somewhere else and then calmly waited for the guy to show up to arrest him. While this was going on the held a trial in "absentia" and found the young turk guilty of an a$$load of things. When they found him they sent him to the Darmstadt jail for eight months and revoked his license for 10 years. They take driving and safety very seriously here. It cost a LOT of money to get your drivers license and it is too easy to lose it.
The Germans do not take to ********* drivers when people are driving 210kph. Hope everything works out for you in your dealing with Bubba.
