Officials finally checked the man on Friday evening in a parking lot near Achern (Ortenaukreis).
In the car they found, according to the information, a "mixed bag" of empty liquor and beer bottles.

The driver had to surrender his driver's license, he was being investigated.
Witnesses and people who were endangered by the speeder should report to the police.
