    Any car going 95m/h on a German Autobahn is going to cause a lot of problems. It would be a moving accident waiting to happen.

      Nope. Semi trucks drive 90 km/h, you can just stay behind one in the right lane.

        No, they do 100km/h. That’s the problem.

        Then they’re speeding.

        Also no Mercedes driver stays in the right lane. Ever.

            Trucks are limited to 80km/h.

              In Sweden they may drive 90 on highway-equvialent roads

                That is interesting, but still, the comment I answered was about Germany.

                  Sure. I don’t know if I agree with the increase in speed, the fuel consumption goes up with like 1 L/10km

              I see, that’s probably a good idea.

          Yes, they are. And cruising in the right lane sucks a lot less if you can do something else while driving.
