Germany as a mecca of speed is in serious problems right now. The famous Nurburgring track has officially been declared bankrupt, and now the place where normal people can max out there cars is in danger. We’re talking about the famous Autobahn, an invention from the 1930’s that changed the way people travel.
A bill proposed could change the Autobahn landscape forever, as it proposes imposing a speed limit. It’s been supported by Germany’s Green and Social Democratic Parties, who both think that people should travel at no more than 130 km/h (80 mph). It’s hoped the measure would make the famous roads much safer and would reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses produced by motorists.

Needless to say the move is very unpopular, as a survey found 82 percent of people are against the idea.
