Key legal question
Whether the facts fulfilled Art. 129 StGB (endangering life)
Extracted holding
Yes. The defendant's high-speed swerving, close overtaking and braking created a high likelihood of a fatal collision, and he acted with direct intent and recklessness qualifying as scrupulousness.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the maneuvers created an immediate and acute danger directly attributable to the defendant; direct intent was inferred from the risk-filled conduct and the defendant's purpose of proving driving skill and winning the race.
