Woah, woah, keep it down lads. There's Americans around who can't handle this kind of information!

I’m an American who wants European style cities and public transport because it’s actually better for drivers, too.

Germany has zero speed limit on some highways because of this.

Coming back from some time in Europe it's imposible to unsee how good we could have it.

There's a perfect highway near me begging to have no speed limit. Straight, flat, no major cities.

But knowing how things would go someone would try to break the sound barrier in a vehicle that was not up for it and die. Then a ton of knee jerk legislation and regulation would make things worse for everyone.
