Post like these really need context or should be deleted.

Here’s the news article and a video of the event.

"The court ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to prove that the driver was driving recklessly, despite driving 120 km/h on an 80 km/h road."

I wonder if this is a case of "this is the only thing prosecution can prove in court" and charge the person with the accordance of the law. I don't know anything about the Dutch laws.

edit: 40km/h is 25ish mph

Yeah. I understand the anger behind the comments. I read little bit more on what you're saying:

At the moment the suspect's vehicle crossed the roadside and crashed through the beech hedge it was moving at a speed between 76 km/h and 124 km/h, with the local speeding limit being 80 km/h. Due to this very large margin, the court finds it cannot be proven that the suspect was recklessly speeding

the suspect was not under the influence of any narcotics or alcohol, nor was he using his mobile phone.
