A driver was arrested Sunday morning after racing down the A2 motorway at nearly 240 km/h, reports NOS.
Connecting Amsterdam to Eindhoven via Utrecht, the A2 is one of the busiest motorways in the Netherlands — with a speed limit of 100 km/h.
Ignored police and drove on
The driver’s Mercedes was caught on a speed camera.
According to De Telegraaf, when police gave the driver a stop signal, he ignored it.
The abandoned Mercedes was later found in the Dutch town of Houten, with the suspect arrested after being spotted in another vehicle.
