The autobahn was used as an example of why unlimited speeds are better.
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.  The autobahn is a much better constructed highway
than our interstates.  The German drivers are much better disciplined
in high speed driving.  And still the death rate on the autobahn is
much worse than anything here.  The accidents are unbelievably gory.
They have helicopter ambulances to come and scrape up the victims.
One good thing is that at high speeds the debris seldom ends up on
the highway.
