The driver, who has not been identified, was caught by an 'Enforcement Trailer' speed camera alongside the B189 highway near Magdeburg by police on Tuesday.
Authorities said the speed was detected by a radar as an "all-time record high reading" for that stretch of highway.
Speed Limit Zone: Minimum 124 mph Faster Than What is Allowed
The driver was fined 900 euros (~$1,043), banned from driving for three months, and had two points on their license.
Ontario Provincial Police said the violation was an extreme example of speeding, with the driver more than 200 km/h over the speed limit.
The average person imagines the Autobahn as a speed-unlimited highway across Germany.
But, as we all know, particular sections are speed-restricted, and the rule of thumb seems to be particularly rigid whenever there is an urban zone or a black spot. One such restricted area is the A2 highway segment where the offense took place.
The attack on speed limits in Germany continues.
In Germany, there has long been a debate over the high-speed status of the Autobahn. Some argue the unlimited policy is a special status and that it is critical to decrease speed limits with a view to road safety and lower exhaust emissions.
How should speed limits be regulated on the Autobahn? There are ongoing debates in parts of Germany about whether there should be federal limitations on the Autobahn.
