Default A word of warning for those going to Germany !

Went skiing in Austria last weekend so the lads & i flew to Munich & hired a car to get get there

Driving down the autobahn in said rented Merc 220 estate - outside lane at about 100mph or so.
Looks in side mirrors as back is full of luggage & see a 7 series BM coming up on me FAST
Just about to indicate into middle lane & watch him start to moveto undertake me
Just stayed where i was at same speed as he came past on the inside doing at least 130mph.


3 - 4 miles on all brake lights go on hazzard warning lights & every one is stopping.
On the right a car (focus i think) has hit the verge, rolled, flipped, slid & generally broken up as it came to rest on a slip road.
Driver looked unconscious as people were rushing to his aid.

200yds further up you guessed it the same BM is parked up next to the central reservation with half the rear bumper missing

My guess is that he tried the same stunt again & met this other guy pulling out

So watch your backs as its even easier to miss in a RHD vehicle
