greetings from germany. And hell, there's so much DAMN WRONG with this report it actually hurts.

1. only around 20% of all Autobahn areas are without a limit. And even those are usually full - so you can't drive as fast as you want

2. We don't have the same amount of accidents, but MUCH LESS than the AVERAGE

3. there is nothing like a "speed lobby" here.

4. IF you translate a german speaking guy, at least translate it the RIGHT way!

it sounds so ridiculous if you live in germany and grew up with it :D

every accident is speed related..... god damn.

@puolki

1: I'm talking about routes which can be actually CONSIDERED driving "fast". A 2-lane-highway with one lane full of trucks and no speed limit can't be driven at 300, right ;)

2. well, in that case you heard something not between the lines...

3. they're not a "lobby", as they don't demand even MORE. They try to keep the standard where it is - but mostly for security reasons.

4. as said on 2 :)

@gajustempus greetings from germany. I think there's many things DAMN WRONG in your comment.

1. only a third of all Autobahn areas has permanent speed-limits.

2. this is not what is said in the report. it just says, that there are accidents in Germany as well as in all other countries.

3. the ADAC and the german car industry have a great influence on transport policy. you could arguably call this a lobby

4. what's wrong with the translation? I can't even hear him under the voiceover

speed lobby! XD I dont know where they get that from. :D

[nikxoom]

I live in Germany and one time I drove 214 km/h; I thing 130 miles/h

I was so nervous my first time on the Autobahn, even as the passenger. Doing 290km/h in a 911 4s. Woo.

No wonder South Park satirized that channel.
