This is a story that needs to be told! Let me tell you about the time I was baited by a cop on the Autobahn in Germany. After some very dubious and sketchy driving from a BMW 3 Series Touring, I find myself being pulled over in the most setup way possible. Allow me to explain...

This takes us back to the 2015 Gumball 3000 from Stockholm to Las Vegas, driving in my McLaren 650S Spider on the 3rd leg from Copenhagen to Amsterdam. After an early departure from the Danish capital and a ferry across to Germany, we're grouped into batches of 8 cars with pace cars; a system pre-agreed with the local authorities to safely traverse to the Netherlands. Specific rules had been set out to stick to 130km/h, follow the pre-defined route, and keep behind the pace cars.

We set off early to ensure a smooth passage, in fact joining the very first pace car group behind a CLK DTM. However, after a first checkpoint beside the Autobahn, fast forward to the A1 South-West of Hamburg on the way to Bremen and things got very interesting, very fast.

Take a watch as a fan following managed to capture the action live; a 5 Series Touring that joins the highway from the slip road and proceeds to demonstrate exactly what NOT to do. I've never encountered a situation like this in my life, and find it hard to believe that it actually unfolded in the way I believed it had. For a long time I've considered sharing what actually happened, but here's my complete take on the strangest of situations. No ticket at the end of the day, but what do you think of this story?!
