^ Perfect post, Phanuthier.

I wonder how many of these fools would die on the Autobahn in Germany inside of five minutes?

I remember my Dad on family trips in an 11-seater 5-spd VW van burning down the Autobahn at about 175 km/h and still being passed at the speed of light by other drivers. They must have been doing well over 210-220 km/h or more.

The Autobahn demands the driver become fully engaged with the car and the road. No cellphone weilding, GPS re-programming, make-up re-applying soccer Moms and Dads driving huge Escalades with steering wheels bigger than their forearms.
