Agreed wholeheartedly. As long as people stick to their lanes and respect the lane priority, there’s no problems.
Autobahn has fewer fatalities per km than your average city highway.
Racing has been safer than commuting for years.
Absolute speed isn’t the problem - it’s relative speed. Always has been. The problem is, the politicians need a line that even their constituents can understand, to rile up a mob.
IMO “speeding” doesn’t mean “driving fast”. It means “driving too fast for the conditions present”. The Autobahn is designed for high speeds, city Streets aren’t.
And the fucking sadists in power (not everyone in power, just the sadists) are eager to take away driving freely and being in control of the car, which is a genuine feeling of pleasure that the lower classes get to experience.
There are those for whom the goal is misery. For them the misery isn’t a side effect of their own gain. It is the gain they seek.

Agree. This is why average speed over distance enforcement is so effective.
It gets people to concentrate on their speed and it gets people to drive at very similar speeds.
