It's all about the drivers and a gov't mentality that continues to pander the lowest common denominator. Driver's here won't start to get better until the requirements for licensing force the change - and that's not likely to happen in my life time - or any of yours for that matter.

I don't think one needs to modify the brakes for the Autobahn . The majority of cars there are stock . I had the chance to talk to people there and they told me that just because it is allowed the drive at high speed , not every does it , either for fuel consumption reason or some pure and simple are not car nuts like us , so they don't care about speed . They all agree to pass and move over , no passing to the right . I like to speed there to blow some steam :D , but I also have to use maximum caution because I am so far away from home and don't want to get stuck somewhere along the way and the credit card insurance covers only my car . I don't feel like paying , for someone to get a new one .
