LOL, there's the new episode of Greenberg 
So breaking any harsh rules that usually would result in your driving license taken away or you would have to bribe the cop. With the right number plate the cop just closes his eyes as if he didnt see you doing it
here are some examples of the United Russia party

FWIW I think 7 is perfectly sensible.......but I guess that depends if its 5 Nissan Micra's or 5 BMW 5'ers 
Hard to visualise without actually being there, the post is worthwhile however, as you know many of us are coming across the schleife and other places in July, a definate worthwhile heads up on something I wasn't aware of

162 kmh or 45 meter per second. Not only would you have to react within 0.77 seconds if something happens (which is really short if something unexpected happens), but you should also remember that if you engage the brake later than the person in front of you (which always happens, because you have a non-zero response time) and the brakes of both cars are equally effective, than the distance between the your car and the car in front of you will decrease during the braking as well.
I saw this point illustrated in a tv programme once. It was shocking to see that, while the distance between the two cars was around 20 meters at the moment that the tailing car started braking fully (hence, from that moment on there were 2 identical cars with wheels locked coming to a full stop), that the cars still collided before they came to a halt.
Message: while braking, the speed difference is still positive, so you continue to close in on the car in front of you.
With only 35 meters and a speed of 160 kph, you wouldn't stand a chance if the car in front of you would brake to a full stop.

I think the w**kers have too much time on their hands to bother with such trivia. Crime rate must be very low in Germany. Sorry dudes this sounding like police state to me.

I hope the fine was heavy!
The safety gap between cars is very important to understand!
All highway (Autobahn) accidents are do for a too narrow gap.
Think about it!
The streets are not racing tracks!

Autobahn is one of the safest highway in the world what I remember being said on Discovery channel. Even though people drive fast...
But the safety rules must be understood! The safety gap between cars is one of them.
German Autobahns are about the last place in the world where one can drive as fast as the car can go.
That can be done at some night hours and needs a constant view in the rear mirror.
There are always faster cars than yours...
