You're assuming that since they're doing it, they must have good reasoning behind this. Germany isn't exactly known for voting for reasonable things. After all, they elected Hitler in a democratic election. But I guess they had their reasoning behind that...
LOL comparing current affairs to a political event over 70 years ago. That's comparing rotten tomatoes with pineapples.
Let 'em do it! We can tell who the speeders are in this thread. :laugh:
Hitler would say drive as fast as you want - then send his troops to Stuttgart and force Mercedes to fix every car so it exploded at 120 km/hr.
You sound like one of those clueless people who thinks that just because something happened a long time ago, it's no longer relevant and it probably won't happen again, only to have your shortsightedness fly in your face when history repeats itself. But it's doubtful you'll see it coming.
Besides, read the article. It's not a plan, it's just a poll. No law has been made. It's not Germany that wants this, it's the European Union that wants this to cut down on greenhouse emissions.
If you'd actually read up on what's happening, Germany is being pressured by the EU, but is resisting. In fact, in opposition to the EU's request, they recently voted to uphold the open speed limit.
It sure would be nice if you filled yourself in on this stuff before you argue about it in a thread.
