Irresponsible and unwarranted. It requires zero skill and doesn't impress a soul.

To me this is as safe as a daily commute on I75 back home. With less chance of a stray bullet and no pot holes. Besides, speed doesn't kill, so the goal is to avoid the really sudden deceleration.
Well, enjoy as long it's still legal...btw...I own a German drivers license since over 24 years...you?

Only 3 for me, and you make a good point. We should be thankful that roads with no speed limit still exist.

Driving skills in Europe are on so much higher level than in North America.

Generally in Europe, there are mandatory driving schools before you obtain your driver's license.

50% of drivers here(NA) should NOT be on the road or possess license.

They even made a show "Canada worst drivers" 14 seasons.
