Another travesty is about to be committed.......
The EU has asked Germany to impose speed limits on the Autobahn. This is in effect supposed to cut down on global warming and will save about 2 billion gallons in gas.
Now for those of you who haven't driven on it or don't know what it is. It's basically a highway without a speed limit. There are speed limits around on/off exit ramps, and there's a law that basically says that if you get into an accident over a certain speed limit (I think 70 m.p.h.) it is your fault.
Having driven on it for over 3 yrs. I'm torn that it might happen. It's part of German culture like Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, and VW. It's like jumping out of a 911 turbo and into a Beetle!
