The Czech police are looking for a driver who drove on the D4 motorway with a formula. The driver took a breather, but committed a misdemeanor, as driving a racing car on a normal road is not allowed, because the car is not equipped with light fixtures and is not technically sound. Police do not know the exact date and time of the offense with which the driver allegedly "endangered other road users". The "racer" faces a rather ridiculously low fine of 200 to 400 euros, but if the deadline reaches him, he will remain without a driver's license for one year. The police collect all kinds of information about the identity of the driver, but we will certainly not whisper to them who the former Ferrari racer with start number 7 is;; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s0vI1wRjpY
