Its worth pointing out that in Germany there are no speed limits in certain areas on the open highway. Now, there is a different set of rules for passing, there are different liability rules, it is generally harder to get a drivers license there and because of a mature public transportation system fewer people there own cars - in general I'd prefer a system that biases toward freedom and personal responsibility rather than a system that biases toward regulation of everyone based on the lowest common denominator or worst case scenario.
