Where I lived in Germany, unless I left the town, the speed limits were all under 80 kph and most were around 30 kph. When someone suggests that the vast majority of Germany has no speed limit, I think that he/she hasn't actually lived there.
And driving age is also 18 here

Sometimes I think it was crazy that I had a permit at 15 which is completely unheard of here.
