    It’s even harder with cars: Why are cars even allowed to go 240km/h? Yeah, there is the german autobahn, but there’s no reason why a car which is registered in France should be able to go faster than the french max motorway speed limit. There is also no reason to allow cars to be able to go from 0 to 100 in x seconds. There is no use case for that, even if you try to merge into a motorway or overtake somewhere.

      The drive from France to the nearest German motorway without a speed limit isn’t that far, though.

      You can also do track days and such, but I agree with you they don’t need to be that quick

      Actually, the speed should be a bit over the speed limit. What if you are driving the speed limit, but suddenly someone almost hits you? You gotta drive a bit faster.
