Czech Booked

Well not yet but it is possibly going to happen.

And what an aptly named Czech he is.

Radim PASSER.

Because he does some very high-speed passing in this video he made:

The passing bits do look quite spectacular.  Depending on your sources, he is the third richest person in the Czech Republic or the 33rd richest Czech.  It is quite possible to be both.

Not sure of the voice-over - I'd have gone with someone more upbeat sounding - less 1970s schools broadcasting.

Anyway, he owns a Bugatti Veyron and a Bugatti Chiron.

When would you drive the Veyron if you owned a Chiron?  Sell it.

This video shows him hitting 414kph on a German Autobahn - a feat that Radim keeps telling us was safe and legal.  He got Bugatti to check out the car and God to sort out the traffic and weather conditions.

It seems that the German Traffic authorities are not too happy though and are filing papers to prosecute him.  CarBuzz have this story (which I'd rather link to than The Sun who supposedly also have it) There is a potential for two years jailtime.

CarBuzz claim, "it's very likely the authorities want to make an example out of the Czech millionaire. While his behavior may be frowned upon in select social circles, it was still an unrestricted stretch of road. It will be interesting to see whether German prosecutors will successfully bring charges against the businessman and whether this may signal the end of the unrestricted Autobahn."

They say they hope not.  They don't say whether that's the bit about prosecuting Passer or the bit about ending derestricted roads.

It may well be both.

It was a very dangerous thing to do.  In his prayer at the end of the video Passer thanks God that they "didn't endanger themselves or anybody else on the road"

Except they DID endanger themselves and everybody else on the road - if you play Russian Roulette and don't kill yourself it doesn't mean you weren't endangered.

They were lucky.

They made an excellent video.

But I'm not convinced they were safe.

And I'm not convinced they were legal.

But I'm also not convinced that he will end up in the Slammer.

I think there will be a cheque though.
