	1) Does anyone know the traffic rules on the Autobahn?
	   I have been told that there is NO speed limit.  If
	   this is true, there must be some data available on
	   accident rates on high-speed roads.  (Insurance 
	   companies in Europe would have all this data.)

	2) There is a way to beat breathalizers.  In the interest
	   of public safety, I WILL NOT PUT IT ON THE NET.
	   (There is no known way to beat a blood test, however.
	   But policemen don't carry syringes.)

	3) There are major roads in the US that used to have speed
	   limits of 70 MPH.  Insurance companies must have accident
	   data from these roads.  Does anyone out there work as
	   a programmer for an insurance company?  Could you make
	   this data available for us?  (Or are all insurance
	   companies still running IBM systems with no access to this
	   net?)

	Let's get the real data,
