They told about traveling on the autobahn in their rental car. They said all their car would do was 120mph and they were being passed like they were standing still. Hmm ... was that a rental car from Germany? If so, that was almost certainly 120 KPH, not 120 MPH. so that would have been about 74.5 MPH. No wonder they were being passed like they were standing still -- they *were* standing still by Autobhan standards. :-) Wikipedia has some info on the Autobahn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobahn It doesn't seem like the safety hazard I would have thought having no speed limit and all. Good drivers, expected to go fast will not be a problem. I wonder how they eliminate the idiots? Attrition, plus big penalties for causing an accident. David |
