Have to keep in mind the "autobahn" only has some stretches of left lane only unlimited speeds. It is not every where. And as I understand it the rules are very strict. Pulling into the left lane and causing an accident is not viewed as an accident. You are violating laws and can do serious jail time. And there may be few accidents but when they have accidents they are usually fatalities.

Yes speeds limits are necessary. We will see how the stretch in Texas works with the 80 mph limit.

There aren't a lot of people I would be willing to ride with at 100 mph plus speeds. That takes more training than the average driver will ever see in the US.
