75 MPH? Must be a school zone!
Bad news, drivers! Bremen has become the first state in Germany to introduce a speed limit on its highways, and drivers must now slow down to a snail’s pace of 120 kilometers per hour (75 mph).
If you do the math, it may not be so bad. Bremen is an itty-bitty city state, so the new rules will annoy you for maybe half an hour. The question is, how will they even communicate with motorists who whiz along the country’s roads at a perfectly legal 130 miles an hour or more? That’s too fast to read WELCOME TO BREMEN, much less see a speed sign.
“Honey, did you see that thing? What did it say?”
‘I think it said we’re on Route 120, dear, maybe you should go a little faster.”
“Okay, but this other sign just said something about SPEED BUMPS ahea………”
