Ghost Driver – What have you experienced, how does it actually come about ?

Moin, you have all noticed that today’s thread on the subject has been deleted. As Mod TAlFUN explained to me, this happened because of an unapproved survey. However, we can and should nevertheless take up the topic and, as far as possible, objectively discuss it (including me), because there seems to be a great need for it. Therefore here again my (fortunately) only encounter with a ghost driver: that was many years ago on the early New Year morning a uf the A 7 towards the north, about 3 km behind the Elbe tunnel. An almost unreal situation: Somehow the traffic suddenly quickly but disciplinedly arranged itself on the right side and one saw the 2 headlights coming up. Then the car rushed past on the fast lane (happily three lanes there). Just like that. My passenger and I were speechless, it took a little while to realize that. We were then immediately at a emergency call column (mobile phones were dama Is not yet) and have wanted to inform the police. “Yes, Prost New Year, and a nice night still,” it sounded to us when we made the report. I will not forget that. Fortunately, nothing happened, i.e. the driver probably left the highway before the tunnel.
