I really think the Autobahn might be a bad example. The Autobahn is so meticulously designed and maintained that triple digit speeds are not a problem. Our roads are not so well designed and maintained.

I’m not arguing for lower speed limits and I certainly do not advocate cruising in the left lane, but, I do think you should choose your comparisons very carefully.

This is FR - and nobody else on this thread seems to be doing such, so why should I buck the trend? ;)

The Autobahn is so meticulously designed

Jawohl, designed for 1935! On the older autobahnen they have very tightly radiused curves. Also, you have never lived or might die until you have been in a 100 car fog pile up on the Autobahn.

BTW, German drivers are meticulous in obeying in-town rules. A good lesson here for us untermenschen in Amerika.
