These good driving manners would be considered street racing in Germany today and the car would be impounded over this video because he filmed the plate and you could see they were doing twice the speedlimit at one point, it won't matter that it was perfectly safe. Owner would have a small chance to dodge the law if someone takes the wrap for him or a decent lawyer convinces a judge who doesn't own a car that doing twice the speedlimit is not that dangerous.
