I live in a small street, and at the crossing to the next big street, it's very hard to see the traffic from one of the sides.

The only thing I can really do is creep forward until I get a glimpse into the traffic, and if it's clear, accelerate the hell out of it.

So, at least for the first, let's say 30 to 50km/h, I'm very glad of the high torque and acceleration of my hybrid card.

I'd be fine with a hard speed limit though. I'd be fine with limiting the Autobahn to 130km/h.
