Message channel or something on the Autobahn and there were a couple key points. People in germany on average pay $1500 to get their licenses. They seem to have different class of licenses ranging in price as well which would I guess say where they could drive. ex.
Class C, local roads
Class B, local roads and small highways
Class A, Autobahn and all others.

Getting to my point. They did a statistic and and showed that the mortality rate for lets say 1,000,000 cars driving is something like .86% in the US and on the autobahn it's something like .67% So it really asked the question, "Does keeping our speed limit really lower the chance of getting in an accident?"

I believe 2 things... 1: It's too late in our game to remove the speed limit on majore interstates. 2: Our roads are so jacked up that we wouldn't be able to have a designated "go fast" lane.
