Dugit - I can understand xdrive's statement, but I can't understand YOUR statement.

Hopefully you weren't the fool american going 140km/h in the fast lane that I almost crashed into.

TAPS needs to be played at all the Automotive factories. I know I'll play it at my office.

Sad sad day

I am German, I live in Germany and this pisses me off.

Expert computer simulations have shown that having a speed limit on the German Autobahns will have a fall in CO2 by a whooping 3%. Most of the CO2 emissions that are harming the ozone are not from cars but from industrial complexes all over the world.

But what am I complaining about? I live near Munich and I often travel to Stuttgart on the Autobahn A8. 90% of that Autobahn is already limited to a pathetic 120 km/h.

the globe, on average, has been getting warmer. This is fact. However, what is causing it is definately up for debate.

maybe it was the comment: " this Global warming BS which is not even happening"
Have you seen the photos of arctic glaciers now and just 15 years ago?

Seems you and George Bush are the only ones still denying not just that the world is warming, but at a rate that is probably 1000x as fast as anything in the past.......

I live in Germany not to far away from Nurburgring and drive to work everyday, (US airbase) on a new autobahn just finished several years ago.There is no speed limit and it is built for some high speed driving.....

Lets put a speed limit on all Autobahns ... but one that makes sense.
The German car makers govern their cars to 155 MPH (which I think in reality is 250 kmph???).
Its no coincidence that its also the maximum speed of Z-Rated tires, the fastest readily available at most tire shops.

So, lets see a global move to limit highway speed to 250 kmph or 155 MPH in recognition that running faster than your tires are rated for is simply not safe! :)

I lived in southern Germany in the early 80's and most of the autobahn around Munich had a speed limit so this is not something new for the autobahn, just new for the area in which the speed limit has now been established. The author of this article needs to do a little more indepth research.
