A Belgian motorist is now free of punishment after he was speeded at a whopping 388 km/h on a motorway in Flanders.
Adjustments must be made for an uncertainty of 6 percent. So the Belgian police actually believe that a driver has a speed limit of 413 km/h, and not 'only' the 388 km/h he was flashed for.
Or rather – the photo equipment on a highway in Flanders, Belgium, thinks the man has cards so fast.
This is written by the newspaper Dernière Heure .
On the motorway – similar to the conditions in Denmark – you must not exceed 130 km/h. Belgium thus stood to be punished by the greats. Perhaps the biggest in Belgium's history. At least within the area of the Traffic Act.

But there will be no punishment. A year after the offence, the Belgian police have not brought charges in the case. And you are actually quite tight-lipped about it.
Perhaps because the measuring equipment that law enforcement in Belgium has can only measure up to 300 km/h. On the other hand, law enforcement will not deny that it is a measurement error.
– Where exactly the card is too strong cannot be disclosed, as the investigation is possibly still underway. We cannot provide details. The road combined with the area would be too easy to recognize, the police told Dernière Heure.
According to the newspaper, a driver has previously been acquitted in a case where the speedometer said 306 km/h. But because the Belgian police cannot accurately measure over 300 km/h, the person in question went completely free of punishment.
A Czech rich man also did this in April 2022. Even though he documented of his own free will how he clocked 417 km/h in his Bugatti Chiron on a stretch of the German Autobahn. Read more about it here .
