Here in this garden by the seaside, the speed limit is 120km/h, as it it was standardized years ago (30, I think).

As the speed limit remains unchanged, here and in most parts of the world, were we so reckless to post that speed limit with the cars we had back then? I mean, no airbags, ABS and other interesting [TLA](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TLA)s. Hardly any seat belts and no [crumple zones](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumple_zones). Now we have all this and the limit just stays the same.

Of course, some people should never be allowed behind a steering wheel at even 50km/h, but it’s interesting to notice such a high limit was posted back then. It sucks that driving is one of the few things we like to do fast. Everything else in this country is as far from the fast lane as it can be.
