And in Germany you can get a ticket for being a morron and not observing the left lane is for passing only... whole different discipline and expectations on the autobahn vs your local highway
As for desolate roads at 3 AM being safe: yea they are until that tire thread the last big rig left on the road for ya gets in your way, or the coyote, or the cow, or the dip in the road, or the drunken sailor with his lights off, or that piece of metal that blows your tire out......
and btw Im not preaching doing the speed limit only calling BS to anyone that wants to justify a 155 MPH run on a public road as "safe" .... you want to post your 155 MPH run go ahead but please stop fooling yourself into thinking it is "safe" or it can be done "safely" - hell even at the track it isnt "safe" just less dangerous..
