thats mad then $40/night... n i wasnt serious with the autobahn... germany is excused because their cars are built to handle the autobahn... just imagine a commodore trying to brake down to 0 from 200km/h thats sheer suicide... Mandatory Driver Training is a PERFECT solution to help inexperienced drivers get out of dangerous situations BUT u'll need a miracle when u're doing speeds over 120km/h... yeah i knew u were joking ;) i think the autobahns are actually being speed limited now, which is probably a good thing. And your exactly right - mandatory driver training is a step forward but when u are in excess of 120km/h and something happens u've got buckley's chance of avoiding an incident, and if u do manage to its not skill its pure luck. i guess the next solution is speed limit all cars to 120km/h. however, it would be interesting to see stats on fatal accidents below and above 120km/h. u can kill someone just as easy at 30km/h as u can at 120km/h. To me, the whole problem comes down to respect and common sense. A car is a weapon. driving is probably the most dangerous thing normal people do in their daily life, however we are all so ignorant when it comes to driving. respect that what you are doing is dangerous, and what you are in control of can be a fatal weapon. And use some common sense. How many incidents have their been lately cos of street racing? i've lost count.
