When German police want to stop anyone, they overtake them and then activate a text display in their rear window that tells the suspect to "Please follow" / "Please Stop".
They don't have to overtake. They just start their blue alarm lights and indicate on the display that you should follow their instructions. Only if you obviously ignore them they'll escalate their response.
Both things are right. It depends on the speed and circumstances.
Yes but not always, i got stopped once and the Police was behind me, the flasht once with the blue light and then had "police please stop" or something like this in their display above. On the Autobahn they often pull in front of you but in citys or on country road they stay behind you, except you don't stop and drove further even if there where places where you could've safely pulled out.
@@MichaelBurggraf-gm8vlbut they usually overtake.
I guess the same situation in america would have involved at least ten police cars a pit maneuver and some gun shots.
This is a ProVida car. Those are undercover police cars equipped with cameras certified for exact speed measurement (the offender can be issued a ticked based on the video evidence). The cars are usually something like a BMW 535 or Mercedes Benz E class 350. They can go up to 250 km/h, so they have absolutely no problem to keep up at this speed. These cars look almost like normal civilian cars from the outside, so the offender probably doesn't know that he is being followed by the police. BTW, ProVida is the only system in Germany certified for speed measurement from a moving vehicle.
its a unmarked police car.
It is in fact going 200km/h, it can be seen because these black and white striped poles are ALWAYS (and even by law obligated to be) 50 meters apart
Are they? On the Autobahn yes, but I thought on rural roads they are spaced narrower in tight curves and wider elsewhere.
@@Delibro möglich in kurven, die sind ja immer einer rechts und einer links auf Landstraßen
😂Most spectacular thing in this video were your facial expressions, Ryan! 😆 And yes, this was not the Autobahn. This was a Bundesstraße (federal road/highway), indicated by dark yellow signs. Signs on the Autobahn are blue. 2:49 Same here indeed.😉
ok i deleted my first comment - it really looked fake. They are not on an autobahn - so the maximum allowed speed is 100, so the porsche is absolutely loosing his driving licence long term. They at least where following for massive speeding - maybe they have been on an autobahn before.
the police is undercover and follows him via camera and speedmeter to collect evidence of him breaking the law before they unveal themselves. Once they have what they need, they put on the signal and stop him for the ticket and his ID, maybe even arrest him if needed. on german streets mainly the autobahn the undercover police makes it possible to catch people who would drive normal if any police car is around but drive however they want if noone is looking for them. So you can't be 100% certain that no police is around when you go against the rules, they might catch you sooner then you would like.
I couldn't believe it was 200 km/h either. So I timed it passing 10 delineators. It's really just over 200 km/h.
Zoomed in I guess.
But when they were behind the other cars, the cam still showed 160 Km/h. I don't believe the other cars were 60 over the speed limit.
@@buttergolem8584 maybe because its not updating 1000 times per second
@@oldrusty20 oh. I think those speedometers are acurate. But most people don't know that on a Bundesstraße you have a speedlimit of 100 km/h! Because sometimes, if the Bundesstraße has physical lane deviders and two lanes for each side of the traffic (so four lanes in total) devided by metal railing (2/2 lanes) and a sign that lifts the 100 km/h you are allowed to drive as fast as on the Autobahn. And some people think, as soon as they See the blue sign with the white car in it, they are allowed to drive faster than 100. So I think all those cars driving 150 didn't know or simply didn't care that they where to fast.
Hi, Ryan! The road markings here mean the same like you said. Yes, it`s not the Autobahn, it`s a country road. "Ausfahrt" means "exit"!!! Oh, yeah, this was a bit boring! ... Greetings! 😅😂
As other comments correctly mentioned, it was "not" a highway and the Porsche was driving "twice" as fast as permitted at times. The driver will definitely lose his license for a certain period of time!
This was not the Autobahn. this was the B 555 between Bamberg and A3. There ist a speedlimit from 100 km/h. This Porsche Driver had loose his/her driver lizens for months.
The B505 (!) is a pain in the neck, as it has hardly any exits. One of my mates lives just south of Bamberg, and so I have been up and down it a few times, and I do not enjoy it. No wonder the Porsche guy wanted to get off as quickly as possible. ;)
"Every exit leads to Ausfahrt!" I cracked up so much!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
FYI the posts (Leitpfosten) are typically around 50m apart (on straight sections). So just from looking I'd assume a speed of around 60m/s, which is 216 km/h. So while being just a rough approximation the high speed checks out with the video. I think you're right about the camera just having an insane focal length.
@@Elfo_ maybe its because of the bad refresh rate And the camera being so weird just makes it look so slow
Me, as a German, if I'd ever get to name a new city on the Moon or Mars or somewhere else... I'd call it "Ausfahrt" just for the fun of it.
The famous city of "Ausfahrt" 😅😂🎉
It's basically the direct opposite of "Bad Meingarten", which almost everyone knows, but not a single sign leading to it...
The video was Ryan's "Günther Jauch und Marcel Reif Torfall von Madrid 1998" moment.
"Ein Tor würde dem Spiel jetzt gut tun." Naja, sagen wir mal so, die Entsprechung wäre vielleicht, dass die Strasse einfach so plötzlich endet.
Haha, so true 😂
One reason why people hate on the video is that the especially the Bavarian Police is known to tailgate behind fast cars for a while in an undercover car equipped with a camera, recording all infractions for 20 min or so, instead of stopping the car after the first big one. That way they can fine the driver way more. Feels petty and unsafe. Most people don't like it, especially those who hate speeding drivers, as it delays stopping the speeder.
Hallo Ryan, the max. speed allowed on this road is 100 Km/h
A completely different topic, but still a video worth watching for a React would be: "Humanity at its Finest, 20,000 bikers respond to 6-Yr old Kilian Sass' dying wish" Greg Zwaigenberg" PS.: The scenes between 0:42 and 0:52, in the recommended video, are not from Germany and not from this event.
This has beendone by so many people now already i don't see the reason why Ryan should make the 999th reaction video to it
@@D4RKBRU73 So that we have the 1.000 reaction and a nice round number.
It's a federal road (Bundesstrasse), so maximum speed is usually 100 km/h. Nearly 200 km/h on such roads in bright daylight in front of a police car (unless it's an incognito patrol car) is possibly a bit too daring (will be seriously expensive; however in Switzerland your car would be confiscated and it would be even more expensive).
Germany literally is a paradise for speeders, simply 'cos it's so dirt cheap...
In austria the following applies since march 1st:confiscation of the car,lifelong driving ban with this car in austria if it is a lising car.if you are the owner,it will be auctioned off.we don't even talk about the fines anymore,they are from 7500euros upwards.since then the date was 3in tyrol alone cars taken away.
I think this should be true in Germany too. Driving more than double the allowed speed should be really really expensive like in the upper thousands in fines and definetly a live long driving ban! Driving more than 50 km/h faster than allowed is certainly no accident and this Porsche dude drive more than double the allowed speed! I think German laws about speedsters are too lax! But hey. I'm also a friend of "income appropriate fines" like, thst the fine is a specific percentage of your monthly income! Because we all know that 500€ hurts someone hard if this person earns only 900 per month. But if you can afford a Porsche and you get a 500 € speeding fine you just shrug your shoulders and laugh about it with your friends because it's peanuts to you! So I think it should be like if you are 10 km/h to fast it costs you 0,5 your income, if you are 30 km/h to fast 20% and etc. Plus points in Flensburg and loosing your license of course.
that's close to where i live 😂 i can remember because at my court hearing i had to watch that video as a witness with the judge and the cops that chased the dude 😂
You live close to Ausfahrt? Cool! 🤣
Look at the Video description. The Video was uploaded by the Porsche Driver.
the original video was filmed 2003 I guess
Watch " Was is´n das für'n Kombi? Audi RS4 Avant vs.Porsche 911 Carrera" this is german Autobahn !
And while you're at it, follow it up with " mit 100 inne kurve ". Absolute classic!
on the Autobahn iself are all signs blue and the symbol with A +(number) of the autobahn is also allways blue on every other street yellow signs signal a Bundesstraße=national street and their symbol is also yellow with the B+(number) most of the time B=U A becouse the Umleitung=detour Sign U (also yellow) most of the time follows the National street around parts of the Autobahn track in case the traffic got stuck
You are wrong , Um Lei Tung sign was designed for chinese visitors! :-))
I started thinking maybe it was an unmarked police car that’s why the Porsche keept going so fast
It looks like this video was recorded in March of 2003... So many old cars and the bad quality as well.
The video perspective is that of the police car in pursuit of the Porsche. The driver is commenting the recording with a heavy Franconian accent. The video was apparently published by the driver of the Porsche who lost his driving license at this opportunity. 3:10 the road markings mean it is allowed to overtake from our side of the road, but not for traffic coming the other way. The bend is very wide and goes to the left, so you should be able to see upcoming traffic, at least if driving at allowed speeds. 3:35 The cop announced the license number of the car he is in pursuit of. 7:00 The police car has finally passed the delinquent and slowly guiding him to place where they can stop without impeding other traffic.
The speed shown in the proViDa is somewhat 50kmh+ offset
I love how these videos became some sort of daily ritual for me. Always looking forward to watch your video after work Ryan! Keep it up!
you can see the speed on the black and white markers on the side of the road these called "Leitpfosten" and are spaced 50 meters away from each other, they are used to keep the right distance to the car in front for enough braking space.about 1 Post every second makes 180 kmhpostet this before you read that haha
The line you mentioned means the same in Germany. Being at a bend makes totally sense, because the drivers on the outer lane can see further forward as the drivers on the inner lane, because there are bushes and stuff, and there's also an exit. So depending on what you can see from different directions, passing can be easy from one, but dangerous from the other one. Who uploaded this? Since the new data security law the driver could sue the cop for showing his number plate xD And up to today he may have back his license and can use his car with the plate again xDDD
The porsche was driving carefully because it's not on the Autobahn. And the original was from 23rd March 2003 as you can see in the upper left.
well, if you look really at the road.. this is NOT an Autobahn. So, the usual traffic speed is 100 km/h. 219+ is waaaaay higher than that and the road is pretty damn narrow for that speed.
200 looks more like 50
The Porsche seemed to have driven on the Autobahn in the wrong direction earlier,that's what the officer said,as well as too fast on the country road,where only 62 mph is allowed.
the road markings in this case means that there is a double line which means no passing, but on the left there is another road, so you can pass the double line to turn into that road, that's why it's striped in the area near the other road. and police in that case was in an unmarked car, they followed the Porsche for a while to collect evidence and when they had it they turned on the lights/siren and pulled him over.
No, its not a double line and there is no other road. Its exactly how Ryan said, the side with the interupted line is allowed to overtake, the side with the solid line is not. The "other road" is the off ramp, for the opposite traffic, and being a "Kraftfahrstrasse" you are not allowed to turn around to take the opposite off ramp, just because you missed your own just a few meters ago.
this is not a common policecar, it´s like what you call sleepers (unsuspective car with high performance engines). Povida is a certified videosystem, which measures the speed, so they have to follow the suspect for a while to prove the speeding without a doubt. so they don´t follow drivers which are just speeding by a couple of mph, they just follow if you are speeding like 15-20 mph+. so in fact it´s not a polic echase where the suspect tries to flee, it´s a speeding control.
They followed him for so long because, as you can see from on the HUD in the recording, the camera installed is linked with a calibrated recording system used to function as legal evidence before court / in the legal system. Sometimes they have to wait for a good footage where they can properly (other cars might interfere with the speed determination system) record a usable footage free of doubts or where the suspect can be indubitably depicted of commiting a felony/crime. It's 100% for legal reasons
1:24 The reflector posts typically have a distance of 50m to each other. 210km/ is about 58.3m/s which means you should see one passing like every second or slightly less than a second. Or almost 6 of them in 5 seconds. And it actually is about that, so yes, they're actually going that fast and the sense of speed isn't that fast because of the narrow FOV of the camera footage. 2:16 Right, it's "just" a Bundesstraße which you can tell by the yellow signs (Autobahn signs are blue). 2:44 That (> | ⠀|:⠀ |
The undercover cop followed him for so long probably to search for a safer place to stop him
What makes the "chase" appear so slow is the missing dramatic music, the fast cuts and the helicopter with the journalist that is not commenting on the scene. 😂 Bundesstraßen are major roads tjat are usually quite smooth to drive. Many Bundesstraßen have two lanes and than virtually have Autobahn status. The Porsche was going way to fast. And the reason for the long chase was that the police needs a sequence on tape, where the Porsche is speeding for a while. The speed is determined using distance-time measurement.
Look guys, I know that these posts are SUPPOSED TO be exactly 50 meters apart. They CLEARLY arent, look at traffic signs and everything. They are maybe, just maybe 2-4 times the height of these (well, depending on which ones) signs apart. They are MAX 10 meters apart, some even only like 5 they are NOT driving this fast.
You *have* to watch "Feuer und Flamme" (=Fire and Flame) it's a series about fire fighters and rescue workers. They just got a action cam strapped on and a TV team followed them. It's 100% authentic, compared to so many bs shows I've seen. And then they cut from time to time to an interview with the individual rescue workers who talk about the incident and basically narrate it themselves. Otherwise no narration. It's by far the best show on that topic. You can find it here on KZhead for free published by the TV Sender itself :)
Felt asleep and woke up 3 autoplays later.
It's like the Kishon story "Valley of the Butterflies"...
Provida Cars are made for the Autobahn. They have to messure the speed for court first and than they will stop you.
Now I *could* for only 5,10€ look up, who the Porsche driver is, because of the license plate. This is exactly, why those license plates are censored.
I highly doubt the license plate belongs 12 years later to the same driver 😀
@@hansmeiser32if he didn't loose his license permanently why not...
Yea, then you'll get a name but nothing more. So, what will you do with the name? You could also look up a name on a door bell nameplate, then you know, this man/woman lives here, nothing of more use :) I even doubt you'll get the name.
I have seen this video years ago and also have calculated if the speed could be right. I think that was the most important part: did they really drive 200km/h? It looks they were going not half the speed.
Yeah it looks really slow, but that's not because of focal length, but field of view. A smaller field of view assures, that the light that enters is pretty much from head-on, in turn loosing a lot of perspective (or rather depth perception), and making the video look way more orthographic. And because the way we perceive speed in a video is through to perspective, that makes it look slow, when it actually isn't. Or at least that's my guess to what's going on, idk if it's true EDIT: I did a stupid and posted a comment before the video was over
More them 80km/h in those roads is very risky... specially with no lane separation...
the funny thing is on this roads called "Bundesstraße" max allowed speed is 100 km/h xd
You can enable Live Captions in Chrome, which will automatically create captions for everything (with a small delay) :)
Well, that somewhat anticlimactic. However, if the speed display is right, the guy was way over the limit, since this is not a Autobahn. And yes, this registration is nothing for a escape car.... HG -GH 4444... I can even remember it now without looking again.
Most entertaining thing in the entire clip is the officers franconian accent...
Please please don't call a Porsche Porsch again! 😉 Greetings from Germany
Yes Ausfahrt is a very nice village on the side of the Autobahn... and the realy nice thing is that is appears on every exit of the Autobahn.. so you can go to Ausfahrt on every exit on the Autobahn isn't that just great.. I'll bet you don't have that in the U.S.of A. ( what ever the Ä"stands for 🤣)
100km/h allowed. Yellow signs means Landstraße. 100, Not more. He will loose his license for months... and a big fine.
German Police also has Porsche as police cars
Every Exit lead to Exit!
Speedlimit 100 km/h in this Streets
2:00 excuse me, a what? I hope not.
8:15 You are absolutely right, it is a focal-length thing (every photo- or videographer can tell). Nonetheless, the video is really boring, hence the bad like ratio.
What you need to learn Ryan: Things handled different and more professional in Europe. Not the triggerhappy cowboy style overseas
You really have to visit Ausfahrt!
Ryan, I miss ❤ Realer Irrsinn ❤ !!
The police did Not use a police car. Civil.
Hey, dan you react to" The History of Germany's Biggest Lolcow" its a really nice video
Slowest? Americans can´t even drive 125 mph on a super wide and straight 5 lane highway and he´s doing that ona curvy country road :D
Every exit leads to us fart 😊
The disappointment that, after such a long time, you’re still saying Porsch instead of Porsche is unbearable
Funny how they blurred the license plate but the police officer is telling you, that the driver is from a county with the highes density of millionaires in Germany. 5:21 Seems like it wasn‘t blurred.
It wasn't blurred, the cam is just bad.
Km/h is wrong!
PorschE, it's a porschE not a porsch.
Because the owner of the car is liable no matter who drove the car (with some exceptions), it's really rare that there are high speed car chases like in the US. The only circumstance it would make sense for a driver to try an get away is if they are sitting in a stolen car, but I don't think someone driving around in a stolen car would be speeding. I also think the Police in Germany aborts high speed chases much sooner to prevent endangering other traffic participants.
😂
Ausfahrt is the german word for Exit It is not a city name!!!!
Ryan knows that already from an other video. He was joking.
Porsche Driver are always in a hurry!😡😡😡
9:55 The Porsche didn't act like crazy, he just speeded when there was space which is still not allowed. But if the Porsche would have been more aggressive in overtaking the other cars or general driving they would have stopped him way earlier.
Found the speeder
The displayed speed is wrong (way too high...)! Maybe calculated for some other conditions....
as others commentedalready, the speed is likely correct. The "Begrenzungspfosten" (pillars on the side) pass the edge of the screen about once a second, which translates to about 50 meter per second, which equals 180 km/h. The camera used seems to have a very long focal length (very "zoomed in"), which makes the speed appear considerably lower. Same happens in driving sims due to limited screen size.
Looking at the signs and trees they did not drive 200 km/h. Never. Everyone who drove 200 knows that this was not 200.
This is what you call a lame video. Intersting, how it got so many views. Btw: Why did YOU watch it?
Langweilig..... Laaaaaaaangweilig....... 💤
Wat IS with your brain.
What IS with your upbringing?
Sei einfach geschillter deutsche Polizei ist nicht so Brutal wie amerikanische die Leute werden ja doch gefasst.
What a sh!t video... 😂
The displayed speed is total crap. It shows at least double the actual speed in some parts. Even if the Porsche is speeding like crazy, most of the other drivers would respect the common limit of 100 on rural streets.
"The displayed speed is total crap." It's not, people verified it. It looks much slower because of the Zoom of the video. "most of the other drivers would respect the common limit of 100 on rural streets." as they actually do. When the Porsche is stuck in traffic he slows down to a little above 100 kmh.
That‘s what I thought too, but then I watched it again and he only speeds up when no one is in front of him.
lame... then back to snozzing ;D
