    Germany has proved it’s not the speed that causes the accidents it’s the excessive lane changing resulting in cutting people off.

    Cell phone addiction doesn’t help either.

      Statistically, we have more deadly accidents on sections of the Autobahn with no speed limit, so speed is a factor, even though it isn’t the only one.

        But do you have more accidents in general?

        That is even more surprising than me seeing the accident statistics in Europe compared to US. I must have fallen for propaganda 😓

      Look, I’m not going to budge. I do not think people need to be going over 90/100 MPH on the road, with many other people driving, with animals also in the picture. I think it’s reckless, stupid, and just not necessary in any capacity. Again, I have seen too many fools driving way too fucking fast, hurt other innocent people because of their stupidity.

        Sure you can believe that as much as you want but it doesn’t change that fact that some percentage of people are still going to drive entirely too fast, not to mention the much larger number of people who will drive a little over the limit. Study after study has shown the best way to move people going different speeds is to pass in the left lane and use the other lanes to go progressively slower as you move left. If you don’t think people should speed that’s fair and I agree, but that doesn’t change the fact that people will do it anyway.

          You can all move over for them if you want. When I am in a lane, it is because I need to be in that lane. I guess I can at least say I am passing people, so.
