misdotcom - they also have a higher mortality rate in accidents than we do - that compared to less accident means they have far more serious accidents than us - just comparing accident rates doesnt prove nethin -u have to compare serious accident rates........... on top of that tehre are very few autobahns left in germany - they r becoming scarce as the eu imposes more and more restrictions on speed and the autobahn style roads -

i think less accidents will happen if people are taught how to drive at spped properly
the new test will help a lot, the cars are able to cope with the high speeds yes, but the drivers arent!

Well if im traveling at 120mph and have a smash then i would expect to die, but knowing this, personally i wouldnt travel at this speed, what ever anyone else thinks is up to them but speed limits are useless cos the majority of people break the speed limit on a daily basis.
I have a 1.2 so speed limits mean nothing to me as i spend the entire jorney trying to reach this speed.
