Waren (dpa/mv) – A novice driver from the Mecklenburg Lake District raced through a 100 zone at 216 things. The 20-year-old, who is still on probation, now has to answer for an illegal car race, a police spokeswoman said on Tuesday. He was noticed by a police video car when he was traveling on federal highway 192 between Penzlin and Waren. He ignored a red light and overtook other cars in a very risky way. The young man raced in front of the civilian police vehicle for almost 20 kilometers before he was caught after turning onto a county road near Waren.

The speeder’s powerful car was secured. He also had to hand in his driver’s license and car keys. In addition, 0.29 per thousand breath alcohol was measured in the young driver.
