It looks like Germany's autobahn system is safe from a potential increase of speed-limited areas, for now at least. As posted on numerous occasions, environmentalists, the European Union and even citizens of Germany have called for the adaptation of 80 mph (130 km/h) limits in the currently ungoverned sections. However, today the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, publicly rejected a proposal aimed at reducing automotive emissions through autobahn speed regulations. Thankfully, Mrs. Merkel is a logical woman as she stressed that traffic jams caused by slow vehicles contribute as much greenhouse gas as a few speedsters. She offered better traffic management as a more effective solution to the Autobahn issue. Now, if only Angela Merkel could bring her ideas over to California.

Ya. Agree agree... too many stupid turtles blocking on the road la. If they move away, the fast lane sure very smooth one. My brake pads also can last longer.

Malaysian drivers are too immature to be granted an Autobahn-like gift.

Just drive to the nearest highway and see which cars were driven on the fast lane:
1. Toyota Hilux
2. NAZA Ria (with whole family on tow)
3. Ssangyong Rexton

The drivers of these cars are f***ing lunatic. They think:

Car price more than RM100k = can drive fast

These 4x4s have a very high centre of gravity and low torque. They're not built to be driven like a Skyline. Unfortunately, their Malaysian owners are arrogant fools.

There are many high profile accidents in 4x4s. I can even remember one involving a cabinet minister.

Here's another high-profile accident involving 4x4. Happened yesterday:

Celebrated cardiologist killed in mishap

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Dr Nik Zainal Abidin Abdul Rahman who set up the first fully equipped cardiac catheterisation laboratory at the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital in 1977 was killed in an accident in Bentong yesterday.

Dr Nik Zainal, 65, whose four-wheel drive collided with a trailer at about 5pm near the Karak Highway, died at the scene. A friend who was accompanying him escaped unhurt.

A traffic police spokesman said Dr Nik Zainal was heading towards Bentong town from his house in Janda Baik and was about to enter the highway when the incident occurred.

Health Ministry director-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican described Dr Nik Zainal as a cardiologist who brought fame to the hospital and the country in general.

“His contribution in the medical field is immense and so is his reputation. He produced so many good doctors especially cardiologists in this country,” he said.

Dr Nik Zainal was also a member of the team that was involved in the first coronary by-pass surgery in the country on Oct 22, 1982.

Celebrated cardiologist killed in mishap
"about to enter the highway" = low torque = slow = accident

He couldn't have not seen a big trailer.

What's wrong with these SUV owners? Do they think that the amount of torque their vehicles possess corresponds to the amount of money they paid for their vehicle?
