I was looking up the Autobahn and noticed in some of the pics, that the German police have Audi police cars. Cool. Audi automobiles are considered higher end here in the States and our police would never buy a fleet of Audi cars.
BTW, how fast were you going, on average? Most of our highways here in the States are max 55-65 mph.

Interesting, why limit at 55 mph?
65 mph is not that different, only about 12 mph difference to the limit we have in Slovenia. Which no one keeps anyway - sometimes me included.

Good question. I have yet to meet someone who has a good answer.
I think it might have something to do with the idea that much lower speed limits, saves lives, but I don't necessarily buy into that logic.

Well I can understand that when people see a speed limit, they say I'm driving just a few miles over the limit, so that shouldn't be a problem. And it is logical, that
speed limits are a bit lower in towns or on dangerous roads. But driving on a long straight road, there as you have written I also don't agree with the logic of
slower speed = saving lives.

Well I was in Autobahn exiting the 120 Km/h section to Unlimited Speed area. So I was acceleratiing to 160 km/h ( thats the max my car can take without giving any vibration). I think he jumped into my lane when I was around 145-150

I would love to go that fast on straight routes without reprisal from the cops. I understand the speed restrictions in certain areas, as is implemented with the Autobahn, and I think it is a good idea but for the straight routes I think the U.S. could raise the speed limit considerably.

In my daily commute to work of 50 km , I have only 15 km of Unlimited speed limit. And that gets covered in just a minute
Yes ,but in gneral you will have stretch of straight roads with no speed limits ( only in autobahns) and thats why Poice here need to have a top end Cars so that atleast they can make an attempt for a car chase.
cheers,

That's one of my pet peeves. I rode with my ex wifes friend one time that didn't use them and when she made a turn I asked her why and she said "I know where I'm going"? What an idiot!

I have been calling youtube all day long to come and film me but no answer. How do other people get their videos up there? I have some really funny stuff but they wont come . #copied
|
|
|
|
|
You know that none of those videos are real.
|
|
|
|
|
Why don't you ask some of the people who have videos up already, that is why there is a comment system...
|
|
|
|

Cats, that's what you need cats.
If you have cats they will come and film you.
Or as an afterthought dogs, or squirrels, or frogs, or aardvarks,
or
Border Collie
Border Terrier
Bornean Orang-utan
Borneo Elephant
Boston Terrier
Bottle Nosed Dolphin
Boxer Dog
Boykin Spaniel
Brazilian Terrier
Brown Bear
Budgerigar
Buffalo
Bull Mastiff
Bull Shark
Bull Terrier
Bulldog
Bullfrog
Bumble Bee
Burmese
Burrowing Frog
...
The list goes on.
Basically if you have an animal they will come and film you as that is what youtube is for...

If you don't have an animal you can try acting like an animal.

On an unrelated note: I think the web filtering software used by the company I work for is a poorly-written steaming pile of crap. After posting a reply in this thread, I get a blockpage telling me that I cannot view CP because it allows YouTube. This, of course, is because CP redirects me to the message I posted with a permalink containing the word "youtube" in the URL, and this is enough to confuse the filter.
