Accepting it is difficult.
F1 driver Sebastian Vettel has a unique opinion on Germany’s inability to set speed limits on its famous autobahn. Vettel’s comment is more balanced than you would expect from an F1 driver. Vettel says that a speed limit would be a good idea if it reduces carbon emissions, and makes roads in Germany safer.
Although it may seem hard to swallow, Sebastian Vettel, who has built his career on speed, knows that there are limits. The four-time Formula One World Champion believes Germany is strong and can set an example for others around the globe.
The Autobahn highway system in Germany has sections with no speed limits. These are areas where there is less traffic, and more space for drivers to stretch their legs. German highways have become a popular tourist attraction for speed lovers because of their emphasis on road safety.
In an interview with Auto Motor Sport Vettel said that it’s not about his personal feelings. It is important to see the bigger picture. A speed limit could save nearly two million tons of CO2 emissions. It would also make roads safer. Germany has many accidents that happen only because there is no speed limit. It’s easy to save one person’s life if you do it right.
Germany has some of the most beautiful race tracks in the world, and many of them are also tourist-friendly. If Germany decides to increase speed limits on every section of its Autobahn, these locations will be even more important. We could see the end to the deregulated Autobahn as we work harder to reduce carbon emissions.
