    Yes those signs are nice. Had a pleasant drive to Luxembourg yesterday but due to Frau D. being with me was not allowed to boot it, only got up to about 130mph. There was one stretch on the A8 which was dead straight with no cars on it and went on for about 3km. We were doing 180 and I looked at her and said, "you know I could do at least another 100 on top now." The road was just asking for it but the withering look I received back put a damper on it

    What's scary is you'll look in rear view mirror before going to the outside lane, nothing coming, you go out and 10 seconds later there's a mercedes insignia filling the entire rear window...
    At least when you crash and die your death will be quick.

    I hope you don't take any others out with you.

    Driving from Turin to Milan a couple of weekends ago. Three lane motorway, inside lane is minimum 90km/h, middle lane minimum 70km/h.

    I was in the outside lane doing 140 and still being passed in both lanes.

    As the road gently curves, the driver appears to continue in a straight line, right into the guard rail. The rest, as they say, is history.
    Or ice... there does seem to be a bit of snow around.

    In Germany that one means end of speed limit.
