on my daily commute (30km one-way, Autobahn) there is almost every morning
a few km where I can go 200+ km/h. Makes my day.

FYI, most of the German autobahns (70 or so percent) are regulated and
restricted to a max. speed of only 130 km/h - or less.

How long has it been like that?

When I lived there in 1985 to about 1991 it was as that man says,
mostly regulated.

There were a few stretches here and there where you could go flat out
if the traffic allowed. Of course the traffic never really allowed.



You must be kidding! I've been up to over 160 KM/h in a bus!
Once, while on approach in a stiff wind, (MY GS would have been about
115 knots, so call it 125 mph) I was passed by a car on the autobahn
beneath me. Now, I was used to this in Cubs and what not, but in a
jet?
