Speed Commentary

 There was a piece written by Focus over the 130-tempo limit for autobahns, and it's worth a moment to review commentary. 

Politically, the Greens, Linke and SPD are for the 130 limit....while the CDU-CSU, the AfD and FDP don't see that much reason for the limit chatter.

Polling trends?  They suggest 57-percent of the German public wants the limit of 130 to occur.  

The odds here?  I'll predict at some point in 2022....the 130 kph limit is applied to the bulk of autobahns....with maybe a couple of regions given a brief period (maybe 3 years) to still continue with no limits (Baden-Wurttemberg and Bavaria might be the two that still maintain some zero limits).  

Personally, I don't think that many people travel beyond the 130 kph limit....even at this point today.  It'd surprise me if we were talking about a quarter of the population as being speed-enthusiasts.
