A frisky couple who couldn’t keep their hands off each other – despite travelling at 90mph in their car – nearly caused a motorway pile-up. The randy pair, aged 37 and 33 were seen veering across the A1 motorway on Germany’s Autobahn as they travelled towards Dortmund earlier this week, the MailOnline reports.
Witnesses said their vehicle repeatedly nearly left the road as they commited their dangerous act, risking their lives and others. According to local media, the vehicle veered so suddenly to the right that a truck driver was forced into the hard shoulder.
Another witness contacted police after spotting the pair having sex as he drove past them. The couple were arrested at a petrol station just outside Münster.

The man has been charged with dangerous interference with road traffic, according to the Mail.
Germany’s Autobahn is famed for having sections with no speed limit.
The news comes after we reported how police in Germany caught a driver on the autobahn doing 199mph (320kph) which was a staggering 124mph over the road’s speed limit. The motorist was snared on a highway near to Berlin last month.
The Porsche driver was said to be motoring at close to three times the speed limit for that stretch of the road before being caught in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, west of Berlin. Their name and age have not been released.

German authorities said they issued a €900 (£785) fine and a three-month suspension of their licence. And the driver also had two points added from their licence.
If you rack up eight points in Germany, you can have your licence permanently revoked. As per the Independent, the speeding motorist was caught by a roadside radar stand which is known as a ‘Enforcement Trailer’ on the A2 highway near Burg on July 28.
And a reading from its display reportedly showed ‘the highest record speed’ of 321kph, police said.
Germany’s autobahns, or motorways, are known for their lack of speed limit in places. However, there are some certain sections. The speed limits tend to be in areas with more traffic congestion.
