To be honest, I don't understand why any car can go over 140 km/h. I get people want to enjoy their freedoms and all but it's not worth it really.

Coincidentally, I just went on the autobahn yesterday, for the second time in my life. We were driving about 130 but there were plenty people probably going 30 or 40 km faster than us.

140km/h is what roller coasters are for :D

Or just get on a high speed train, then you can go 300km/h or more :P

Oh, we don't have those here bud. Best I can offer is a slow as molasses Amtrack last updated in 2000 something.

The highway near me has an 80mi/h speed limit, that’s why. If you need to pass you pass at 90mi/hr. And all that is if you’re driving a Semi. All of the cars usually go around 100mi/h which is 160km/h, that’s why. If you think it’s too fast, use a different fucking road.
