Wait, what? Really? What a daft insurance. So you're limited to 100km/h even on an unlimited stretch of the autobahn, with people going a lot faster around you?

Wait, what? Really? What a daft insurance. So you're limited to 100km/h even on an unlimited stretch of the autobahn, with people going a lot faster around you? Or even somewhere like Poland where the limit is 140km/h and driving 40km/h slower than everyone else is an actual hazard?

I don't believe OP at all, I'm Dutch and never heard of this. Also the max speed limit in the Netherlands is 130 km/h, but between 06:00 and 19:00 it's 100 km/h (don't ask...) Maybe OP is confused about the rules on unlimited roads like some German autobahns, there is indeed reduced payout above 130 km/h. But insurance not covering anything above 100 km/h is ridonculous

  Note that it definitely isn't 130 everywhere, but also 120 in many places. See: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/verkeersregels/vraag-en-antwoord/wat-is-de-maximumsnelheid-voor-auto-s-op-de-snelweg https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/verkeersregels/vraa...

Hoe dat zit als je in Duitsland 150 rijd overdag waarbij in Nederland de limiet van 100 dan geld zou ik niet uitproberen.

    Right, but OP said that if you drive over 100km/h OUTSIDE of Netherlands, you won't be covered by your insurance, which is obviously complete nonsense.

No you're insured until 130 km/h. Our speed limit is 100 km/h but at night it is 130 km/h. And that the the legal limit.

  Again, I cannot imagine that this could possibly apply outside of Netherlands. As long as the insurance covers you for driving abroad, and you follow the law in whatever country you're in, why would the speed limit in Netherlands matter.
