Speed Chatter

 There was a German 'promi' who got into a discussion last night on some forum.  So the topic came around climate change, and what to do.

His response?  For people who need big vehicles (he used the phrase SUV).....they should be limited to 25 kph.  

It was perhaps a bit of cynical criticism, but it's the general path that German enthusiasts of climate change see necessary....just forcing people to change.

If you look around, there's plenty of hype to regulate the autobahn speed down to 130 kph.  I would go and speculate that within five years of forcing that issue....the speed would be regulated down to 100 kph....to say that it's necessary to save the planet. 

Public view of this autobahn speed thing?  I would suggest that if you went state by state....you'd find that most people in southern Germany don't support a speed limit deal on autobahns....while urbanized people do strongly support a speed limit.
