Places to Drive Fast



There is a controversy a'brewin in Germany about speed limits on the Autobahn. Seems that German Porshe and BMW owners do not want keep all those horses under their hood tethered to a mere 80 miles per hour, when they're used to going, say 170. As anybody with a high cylinder index will tell you, if you've got the cylinders, you want to use them.

What can they do?

As a service to them and all other speed lovers, here's Bill's list of places you can drive fast, legally.

PLACES TO DRIVE FASTER

Slow:
  • 80 mph in West Texas (yee-hah!)
  • 80 mph (approx) in most of Eastern Europe - Poland, Slovenia, Romania, etc

Less Slow:
  • 95 mph on portions of the Italian Autostrade
  • 100 mph on portions of the Austria Autobahn

Road in Nepal -->

Not Slow: Places without limits
  • German Autobahn
  • Unposted areas on the Isle of Man
  • Unposted areas in Nepal
( But I can't really imagine driving all that fast in Nepal, given all the yak-cart traffic slowing you down.)
