Lol...you mean someone is actually older than me?!
We have section control too, average speed zone, it's called. They have so many different ways of catching drivers for speeding really, and they also use cameras for inattentive phone driving. People still do it though, and they pay the fines (which are huge).
I don't have a problem with speed limits, but I think they need to be sensible and well signposted which is not always the case.
No in Austria in general everything about speed limits is clear and well signed. So no problem with that, except you yourself can easily oversee you are to fast. I think with old cars we had better feeling on how fast we really drive.
When we have flying cars we won't need roads huh?
But would need more speed and other limits.
Reminds me of "the 5th element" you know the Chinese Cook flying with a ship, cooking fresh in front of the window? Yummi !
I know the movie and what you're referring to. Good movie!
