In the 60's (before mid 70's) many many roads in the united states had no speed limit "reasonable and prudent".
now cars are significantly more capable, but speeds are limited by laws and congestion.
- gerdesj 2y agoQuite a lot of German autobahns still don't have a speed limit. I lived there when it was West Germany. I remember 90mph in lane one being normal and that was in the 1980s. 120+ in lane two was normal. Petrol was cheap back then - even in the EU. In the US gas was nigh on free! (or so it seemed to us). I was given a scale model of an Audi Quattro rally car by a German chap when I turned 17 (1987). I still have it. That car destroyed all comers back in the day because it brought 4WD to the game. Nowadays I drive an EV - a Saic MG4. I went to school in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, which is where the Morris Garage (MG) started off in around 1910. I can safely say that an MG4 is not a British thing at all.
