I wasn't as much outraged as fearful last week on the 19th Oct. My driver picked me up at FRA to drive me to Darmstadt (JagdSchloss Kranichstein) and while he drove at 200kph, he sipped his coffee, smoked a cigarette, talked on his mobile phone, made notes on his knee-pad, and occasionally made small talk with me. I can drive with my left knee, but I don't usually do it at 160mph. We arrived in one piece.
