    178.6 kph

    So slightly above regular Autobahn cruising speed, definitely not super speed.

        that speed is not legal anywhere in the world.

        Objectively wrong. I drive that fast completely legally regularly in Germany.

          It’s far beyond the posted speed limit anywhere in America, which is where this cop was riding his bike.

          Highest posted speed limit in this country is 85mph, on a small stretch of toll road in Texas. Which converts to a “mere” 137kph. We don’t have un-restricted highways here.

            So? I’m just pointing out which lame duck speeds are considered super speed in Trumpistan.

      It depends on the road.

      3-lane Autobahn? No prob.

      Single-lane stroad? You should lose your license.

      P.S. Most of the Autobahn has a speed limit

        And where there isn’t, around 160kph is cruising speed for regular cars (not trucks). People in a hurry drive 200kph legally where possible all the time. It’s really not uncommon. 178kph on a highway is not super speed.

      Oh scheiße, ich muss gleich gähnen.

      (And to everyone who doesn’t know: The Autobahn is built for high speed cruising and people keep mostly to the right - so there’s no high speed “weaving” through traffic. Mostly. Idiots also exist over here, but sometimes traffic is low enough to go fast in a very relaxed way. I’ve driven in the US and there 180kph would be wild)
