I am currently watching a show on CNN comparing the accident rates in Germany to other countries. The German rate is a much lower. On a particular highway, in one year they had 8 deaths. They make a Speed Minimum set to about 80mph (120km I believe), and that year they had no deaths. They feel speed limits encourage reckless driving whereas requireing faster speeds on their freeways reduce fatalities. Anyone have any opinions?
