Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

What does all this have to do with the construction costs? Asking for a friend.

Nobody has ever been able to give me a reasonable reason why it is necessary to be allowed to drive faster than 130.

Because it's fun. Unfortunately, the conditions are hardly given anymore and it is more relaxing to flow along with the traffic.

By the way, I usually only drive 130-140 on the highway myself. But I do not see the necessity here to restrict people as long as it is not really proven that it has a clear added value. Whether this is given - surely everyone has a different opinion - I do not necessarily see it.

Not really proven? Surely everyone has a different opinion? There are very many studies on the subject and all show that a speed limit does indeed have an effect. Take a look at studies from countries where the speed limit was reduced and therefore have good comparative values.

These discussions are pointless. One can still expect a bit of self-responsibility from the population.

I am annoyed by the banning mentality that is currently spreading.

Same here. I like best the argument like "I personally find it very relaxing to cruise with a speed limit..." - and the others are supposed to comply accordingly.

No one has ever been able to give me a reasonable reason why it is necessary to be allowed to drive faster than 130.

Can you please give us a reasonable reason why you consider 130 km/h to be the limit of reason? Why not 70/80/90/123.7?

Can you please give us a reasonable reason why you consider 130 km/h to be the sensible limit? Why not 70/80/90/123.7?

I actually mentioned 130 as an example. I think anything below 120 would probably impair travel time on medium and long-distance trips too much. Whether 120 or 130 makes the most sense, I would leave that to the mathematicians who have studied to perform such calculations. Personally, I don't really care.

maybe let's focus on the construction costs again. We won't be able to please the 130 supporters anyway :-) I also find this discussion pointless because it leads to nothing. Some like to drive fast, others don't. But I think imposing these regulations on everyone is niO... we might as well restrict ourselves much more in life
