Yeah, and too bad they made the shitty version of the Autobahn when they designed the interstate system... 2 lanes, not 3, plus bad roads don't help. And even the 3 lane highways around town suck since it's so easy for someone going 2-3mph over to stick themselves in the far left lane (I love driving in places where they have 6+ lanes across (not including exit lanes)... only the speeders get 5 or 6 lanes over).
More to your point though, I read once that any given road is rated for what a car can handle, and speed limits woefully fall short of those limits.... so yeah, that sucks.
