Because many countries have speed limits higher than that? In the Netherlands 130 km/h is allowed (usually only at night), in Poland they have 140 km/h in some places, and in Germany there are many roads where a maximum speed of 130 km/h is recommended, but there is no limit (provided you drive responsibly).
