The driver that call the police used a cell phone while driving. Far more dangerous than Alex, who was alert and paying attention.. Oh the irony. Unsafe distracted driver calling to report an "unsafe" fast one.
I like how the driver slid slow left no turn signal, then calls 911 to report a speeder. If Alex had gotten pulled they should show footage of that guy too....
PM brought me here. This summer I'm driving from Modesto, California to Philadelphia, and I hope to do the same as Roy's recent trip. Not break any records, just do the trip without any tickets :)
You would be surprised at how fast someone will call the cops on you. I've had the cops called on me several times within 3 minutes of me doing something.
the main reason driving fast on highways is dangerous is assholes that try to get all vigilante and block the way, that's just asking to cause a wreck....
To Theriomalstrom, correct, the car's equipped with a kill switch for the lights so it's less obvious that he's braking heavily. Check out Alex's home pages. That M5 is rigged with more gadgets than a Bond car. Thermal imaging, jammers, detectors, all sorts of fun stuff!
When I come to power the first thing I'll do is made a 3rd, autobahn lane where you can drive as fast as you want, but you must be qualified to use it. Seperate the skilled drivers from the idiots in white SUV's.. :)
Haha I've yet to hear my car being described via scanner. That has to be an adrenaline rush. With those Garmin's you probably found a parallel road for a few miles.
If that White Tahoe driver blocks the traffic that way in Autobahn, he would've been shot to death years ago.... FUCK OFF THE LEFT LANE, SLOW !! And Bravo Alex Roy for your Technologically Advance "Rally" car and astonishing piece of endurance driving!
I thought they can only pull you over or ticket you if they have you caught on scanner? And why the hell do people call in speeding cars. Thats a fucked up thing to do. Just cause you don't drive like that doesn't mean others can't.
Just because someone calls in a report of a speeding BMW does not mean you get a ticket, the police officer has to actually see it and be abe to clock or record your speed on a radar detector.
I drive Hwy 55 between ST. Louis and Chicago all the time in my 2006 Dodge Charger with the Hemi and I do at leat 80 to 100 the whole way but its the idiots going 55 and see you coming behind them lights and fog light on and they pull into the left lane right in front of you and allmost kill you and they flip you off like you did something wrong. If people knew how to drive we could all go 80 to 120 mph all the time
I am a motorcyclist in the U.S. That white SUV is very typical. They drive like they personally own the road. They are apparently ignorant of even the most basic road etiquette. I hope someday all Suburban fUtility Vehicles will require special licenses. They are blocking out the sun where I live here in the mid/southwest.
a book? about TEAMPOLIZEI? or what? im from germany and i love TEAMPOLIZEI... lol. but when, give it also on in German? Do you understand? i speak english very badly... please mb
i know i did a small rally with me and a few of my friends from san diego to phoenix and on a few occasions suvs and 18 wheelers would purposely cut me off its so fucking annoying maybe next time i shouldnt dirve a bright yellow porsche turbo lol
People will call if someone is driving recklessly, Because some people are drunk or asleep at the wheel. Nothing wrong with people doing that! ITS not being a rat! That is thug mentality. In the meantime the person that gets killed in an accident could be "OUR" loved ones. Mom. pop, sister think about it!
all this tech, "omg he is slowing down and turning around"... DUDE HIT the gas till the next exit, you seen him first he doesn't know that you know. any way that is what I got from this clip. I am hating a little because of the stuff people wrote that he is a legend, maybe he does have a plan and didn't want to waste fuel on running from a cop that makes sense however you get stopped it will take any where between 5-15min same time as a fill up, and no ticket. just my few cents
People can call the COPS on you and if the Cops see you doing nothing wrong they cant do shit , other then follow you or stop to check your welfare. ..... Act Cool Man, Act Cool ;)
@crv26 name some of the democrats... i haven't heard of this... i mean i know they cracking down but its not just democrats... not going to argue because the video is good none the less but maybe don't just blatantly post some shit that could quickly piss people off =)
Ummm, professional drivers drive on tracks. Nascar driver's have to worry about 20+ other drivers trying to pass them. Rally has to worry about hair pin turns and shit like that. The only way a true "professional" would wreck would be do to car malfunction. And are you going to tell me that only pros have malfunctions? Sure they're going faster, but you only need to be going 3 mph to kill someone.
what if that speeding car hit a bus full of kids where your childeren were seated and killed everybody inside it just because you was like meh (remember WHAT IF)
Don't want to get passed on the right??? ...then stay out of the passing lane!!!

Being on the cell phone is probably more dangerous than what Maher and Alex were doing. Fantastic record
this is so rad, i want to see the entire raw video
PM brought me here. This summer I'm driving from Modesto, California to Philadelphia, and I hope to do the same as Roy's recent trip. Not break any records, just do the trip without any tickets :)
aww where's the rest? im on the edge of my seat!
"brake lights off"... One of THE BEST mods you can do. Also, u can do some light braking with your E-brake:also shows no brake lights.
Unbelievable, great accomplishment. Well done Alex!
You would be surprised at how fast someone will call the cops on you. I've had the cops called on me several times within 3 minutes of me doing something.
CNN said that they were driving a 2005 BMW M5 but I guess the woman was just confused between M5 and 2005. E39's were ended in 2002 i think...
Probably because hard braking is a sign of high speed. Also for night evasion.
Can't believe some a-hole driver called the cops on them.
the main reason driving fast on highways is dangerous is assholes that try to get all vigilante and block the way, that's just asking to cause a wreck....
although i dont think he used them there, he did have a kill switch for his break lights. read his book. its amazing.
they said "caller" if it was an undercover it would be him directly tallking via radio, 911 operators are EXTREMELY fast like that.

Love it. Got my heart pumping.

Awesome job guys!
E39's ended in 2003!
actually i think that was a unmarked police vehicle, seeing how the call came right after they moved to pass it. but just a gues, you could be right.
Makes more sense at night so after you pass a vehicle they won't be able to see you.
I thought they can only pull you over or ticket you if they have you caught on scanner? And why the hell do people call in speeding cars. Thats a fucked up thing to do. Just cause you don't drive like that doesn't mean others can't.
Okay then. Thanks for the correction.
What's the point of turning the break lights off when it's daylight and he's already got a description of the BMW ?
what if they were speeding to get to a hospital because one of the passengers was going to die… remember. WHAT IF.
They have brake/taillight kill switches.
Just because someone calls in a report of a speeding BMW does not mean you get a ticket, the police officer has to actually see it and be abe to clock or record your speed on a radar detector.
What happened next?
had the same problem last weekend, racing with audi against friends passat :D
yea serious why are you cutting it right there!?!?!?
They should release the movie already, it's been 48+ months.

fucken cool idea guys . cant wait to see the whole thing
why do they want the brake lights off?
@Silenced140 so the cop doesn't see them hard braking down from whatever high speed their driving at.
it is soooo true. i drive 80-120mph all the time in Germany.
ahhh i wanna see next part!
Dude this rocks!!!
This movie's going to be epic
why did they turn the brake lights off at the end
something like german autobahn [or however they spell it] without the ocasional speed limits..
Then they have to call an ambulance.
damn cannonballers
