i'm watchin' the same show for the second time. Good doc, and really pisses me off that the US can't be more like Germany in that regard.

Did you note that the autobahn has .72 deaths per 100 vehicle miles driven, while the US interstate system has .84? That should tell us something. 1) US drivers suck. 2) speed limits are not the answer, better driver training is. 3) all this crap about traffic enforcement being for people's safety is one of the government's biggest snow jobs.
