Influence accused of illegal racing... alone. 2 years in prison

Ngermany, there are sections of motorways (Autobahns) no speed limitsBut that doesn't mean you can do anything to be as fast as you can. And the case of influencer Gercollector shows it.

According to Bild, two separate situations caught the attention of the authorities – both at the wheel of supercars. The infractions date back to 2024, but Gercollector only attended court last week, October 30.

In the first case, in June 2024, was caught walking at 347 km/h in a boundless stretch when driving a Mercedes-AMG One with over 1,000 hp inspired by Formula 1. Three months later, there was another case when I was in an Aston Martin Vantage with over 400 hp and speeds that can exceed 300 km/h.

But the popular content producer, who is called Michael Spegel and has about two million followers, answers by infringements that may be worth you in prison: the Munich Public Prosecutor accuses him of participate in illegal road races.

For a race, it takes more than a participating car, right? Not quite. The influencer will not have had company, but german law provides to sanction solo racing. That is, reckless driving, maneuvers that endanger others and conducts contrary to traffic rules to achieve a certain speed inappropriately and/or an inappropriate speed for the circumstances.

The prosecution claims, for example, that with all the tracks occupied the offender could not guarantee that other drivers would change lanes – with the danger of doing so without being able to anticipate vehicle to come more than 300 km/h.

The defense naturally contests the charges. Your lawyer argues on the basis of expertise in the videos concerned that there were no illegal races. Still, it recognizes speeding in a construction site.

In the light of German law, illegal races can be worth heavy fines or prison sentence of up to two years (or five years if actual risk to the safety of others or damage to valuable goods is proven).
