Right, but now it's too late. If you would remove the speed limit, you would have the same rate of dead corpses on the street as Germany had when the wall came down and the people of the former East Germany realized that they had no speed limit anymore.
I cant tell you the figures anymore, but almost every tree was carved...
... to Germany. Here is still no general speed limit on Autobahnen. Boy, had I fun this evening breaking down from 170 km/h (dunno what this is in mph, but over 100 for sure) to 80 because a truck was overtaking.
If you have no speed limit, you have more variation in speeds driven, so it gets more dangerous. If you drive the same style on the Autobahn as Californains on the Freeways (I was only visiting Cal twice, I cant speak for anything else), it would be deadly.
