I have always found that when there has been a risk that I might fall asleep
the speed has made no difference. It is rather the nature of the road and
the fact that I am tired. A straight, dull road is still as straight and
dull at 120 km/h as it is at 90 km/h.

The most irretating speed limits, I think, are those for 50 or 70 km/h where
you (or me in this case) can't see any reason for it. I own a sports car and
like driving fast but my inferiority complex can stand the pain of keeping
the speed limits and still seeing other cars pass me.

P.S. It maybe true that many large pile-ups on the autobahn are not caused
     by high-speed, but the severity (number of dead) and number of cars
     involved are.
