Its stupid to have them do high speed tests on public roads, even though theres no speed limit, doesnt mean you need to speed excessively, Im sure he was doing as he was told by bmw so this isnt his fault.
No it's the truck drivers fault. Only cause it's a test doesn't mean it's out of the ordinary. Most of us BMW owners drive at least (and I mean at least) 100 mph every single day. I pass the 150 mph every single day (when I am back home in Germany) and no I am not a official test driver. And you know what makes BMW so good... because it is the ultimate driving machine which is tested not only on unrealistic tracks, but also on the public road including the Autobahn.

This is a very sad thing and my prayers go to his family and the truck driver who probably won't be able to continue his job and will have a life full of regret.
