    The autobahn in Germany is also well maintained unlike the majority of sh1 it's getting better but not quite up to spec yet

    I think most people would be ok with it but the minority would wreck it for the majority

    Have they ever considered a test run ?

    There would be a problem with causality.

    Quite fitting really.

    only if you police the majority based on the minority otherwise Mr Darwin will take care of things, or they learn to judge and drive to the conditions rather quickly.

    the closer I approach the speed of light, the more my mass increases, so the more pies I can eat.

    Amusing anyone could even compare driving experience of Germany with here.....Portugal or Turkey is nearer to NZ.

    See ... I have no prolem with my ability to reach speeds of 250klicks .. it's the shithead coming the other way that I worry about .. His ability to handle a vehicle at anything over walking pace is always in question ...

    And as for the Autobahn being a free for all is pure myth. Very few sections of the Autobahn are unlimited nowadays.
    And then you get this on the autobahn .. 53 cars involved and several dead ... you never get 53-car pileups in GodZone .. and you all think the autobahn with high or no speed limits is a good idea ????

    See .. it's you dumb fucks on the road that give me the shits ..

    Tu as raison Monsieur Voltaire!

    From memory, even the donkey/taxi/kamikazi jhundi truck drivers in Addis Ababa and Cairo only come a close second to the unusually high rate of cack-handed, squinting mong-osity displayed by the majority of raging cage-bound monkeys on the road in NZ.

    Don't get me started on the fucking potholed crazy paving which passes for dual carriageway in the North Island
    I may look calm, but in my head, I've killed you three times already.

    in ten years all city traffic will be entirely computer controlled like in minority report so there will be no accidents.

    Not to mention the motorcycle riders who display similar characteristics to the cage drivers you mention
