You have to admit the polizei jackets are awesome!!!

Answer 1

Into each life a little rain must fall. Ah yes even the fabled autobahn is becoming a speed regulated road. Bummer.

Answer 2

The Autobahn has had speed limits for a while especially when you approach urban areas.

Answer 3

Some stretches have had limits for many years, and the fines for exceeding the limits are very steep.  

Motorists were always expected to drive to conditions, and failure to slow appropriately for driving rain, snow, or fog resulted in very hefty tickets as well.

The German government has bee talking for some years about implementing limits on more sections, eventually all sections, of the Autobahn, but I am surprised they didn't make the limit 140 or 150  km/hr.

Answer 4

wow this just completely destroyed my dreams of driving a Corvette ZR1 over 200 mph on the AutoBahn.
