> (arbitrary) limit of 130kph? It's not realy arbitrary, it's the "Richtgeschwindigkeit" on most (all?) highways with higher speed limits (the speed which you are recommended to not go over by a large degree and where your tend to pay less if you get into an accident while going over it). A bit above 130 km/h is a point at which the degree of death tend to noticeable increase in case of accidents, relevantly this includes the death of uninvolved 3rd parties. > No one forces them to drive faster ( Yes, but other people drive fast and potentially into you, I have seen more then just one or two near accidents because of people driving noticeable above 160 km/h on highway areas where it was allowed but not recommendable due to the amount of traffic. And I don't drive a lot. I also can forward the opinion my Dad has on this (who frequently needs to do multiple day trips spawning 300-500km/h and drives a car which can go ~200km/h). I don't remember the exact wording but it was basically something along side of: A speed limit makes sense but 130 km/h is to low. Way to many drivers are way to bad on judging when the traffic allows you to go 180 km/h and when it is dangerous. To many people think that because there is no tempo limit they can go with 180 or more on a non empty highway and I have seen and been involved in way to many nearly accidents which likely would have been deadly (if they would have happened) which involved people going at such high speeds. I mean sure if the highway is empty and dry and I'm not sleepy then going with 180 km/h or even more can be quite fun, but I which people would only do so if the highway is empty and dry. [And then he went on, about people being even worse at estimating safe speeds if rain, fog or snow is involved and how he was more then once nearly killed by someone going way to fast under such conditions.] (now back to my opinion): IMHO going fast is fun, but the highway is not meant to be fun it's meant to allow safe driving and going with really high speeds in the wrong situations you are not just endangering yourself. Anyway, idk if a cap at 130 is the right thing and there are also other factors like the environmental damage because of the ware of the rubber wheels, noise etc.
