| > In the 18th century, without proper roads, between the choice of a car with wooden wheels and a horse, I'd have 100% of the time would have bought the horse. There were no automobiles in the 18th century. > No, it isn't. Driving 120kph in the autobahn is more dangerous than driving 200kph. Yes, it is. Data shows accidents increase with speed, yes, even in autobahns, let alone in highways with speed limit. Also, you were talking about motorways/highways in general, the overwhelming of which have speed limits, and not about autobahns in particular. > 130kph has to overtake you with 10kph difference I used 120 as it's the highway speed limit in most of the world. Replace 120 with 130, the point is driving at the speed limit. You are talking about going 200kph, so I don't see what you're trying to get at here. > Just because your time is worth less than most people's time and you prefer driving at 120kph, 10kph below the recommended speed, does not mean that most people agree with you. The traffic guidelines actually disagree with you, which is why they recommend at least 130kph. Ahahaha, what the hell is your problem. I drive the speed limit instead of driving like a maniac because my time is not so valuable as yours? > The slowest lane usually goes at 140-150 kph. I don't see the point of making an assumption that's clearly incorrect. Again, simple data falsifies your assertion. Measurements taken put the percentage of people going over 130kph in German highways at between 35% and 60%. So your "slowest lane goes 150" thing is hilariously off the mark. > If you think that driving at 200kph is dangerous, I have to assume that you never took highway driving classes as part of your driving license Again with the German exceptionalism? Yes I did drive on the highway to get my license of course. No, I didn't drive nearly twice the speed limit in those lessons. > training, I'm such a good driver, stick to taking the bus until you git good Nothing you can say changes the fact that higher speed means more risk of crashes. This is documented, and you are no exception. Everybody thinks they're great drivers so the rules don't apply to them. --- Finally: in your previous posts you complained that electric cars can't travel at 200kph when the temperature is -20°C. Well if you're such a good driver you should know that it's reckless (and indeed forbidden) to drive at such speeds in such cold weather. |
