That just means that the testing needs to be better regulated. I've made cars do some really unbelievable things. I've also driven into the ditch at 10mph because I was typing out a text message. Skill would have to be proven. Anyone who does spend a large quantity of time doubling the speed limit has learned what to expect out of other drivers and that is to never expect anything. I had the misfortune of sliding down the pavement without my motorcycle doing almost 130mph because I didn't expect the road to be covered in mud. These are the risks we take every day.
Like I said, it works on the Autobahn just fine.
You're not helping your case by pointing out all the mishaps you've had.
I used to think like you - and then I spent considerable time in Germany. The autobahn is not all unregulated - only about 15% of it has unregulated speed 24 hours a day and there are other sections for which the regulation changes throughout the day with flip-down signs. Autobahn is German for "highway" - nothing special about it. Most, if not all, freight trucks are speed regulated so they cannot drive faster than 55mph and the speed differential in the unregulated sections is crazy. I enjoyed parking at rest stops and watching the BMW's and Mercs blow by at 140 for the air ripping sound they made.
There are a lot of things wrong with high speed differentials on a shared road and I would rather have some control over my own destiny. I'm perfectly OK with you driving at 120 somewhere on some road. However, I'm
not willing to place my well-being in your hands passing me at 120 mph from behind.
