My dad and grandparents are from Munich Germany. One thing that he says is the whole German system of obtaining a drivers license is much more stringent than in the US. What they go through is like race car training in comparison to our system with the DMVs. Many people in USA would fail a German exam. Also as someone stated above, German roads are maintained at a much higher level than what we have on US freeways. I'm all for transforming the context from "speed limit" to "suggested speed" as I dont think it really deters people from speeding unless they are aware of police or Highway patrol. To me it seems more like a getcha gotcha for Highway patrol to make money.
