just been watching Aerial America about Montana. On the Smithsonian channel. It was not until 1996 that the state introduced speed limits on a highway. Up to then, no limit at all. Now its 75

We lived in Eastern Montana in the '60s, enjoyed the no-limit but trucks and nighttime had 55. Going to another town got stopped by Highway Patrol, he was timing me by the delineator posts but on a long wide curve I passed a truck and he missed one, got a ticket for illegal mufflers on a '57 Ford 500.

How can Autobahn function with unlimited speed and very little accidents ? It's not fast driving that kills but those sudden stops are a doozy.
Seat belts are also important. There was that bad accident in which one of occupants flew thru windshield because of no seat belt, found him all mangled and the other one with buckled seat belt looked almost like alive. Seat belts save on burial costs.

We had rented a car in Germany in '90, did see a couple bad wrecks. Don't know what has been accomplished but a few years ago saw something about the car makers doing something to speed-limit some of the more powerful machines. Because of animals we are now seeing yellow diamond signs on our Interstates with flashing LED lights warning of their possible presence.

I almost hit a giant moose in Haliburton county in Ontario (cottage country), it looked bigger than my pickup. Missed a bear and couple of deer. We used to have those small ultrasound whistles you mount on front bumper but they were not very effective.

We tried a couple of those but due to slopes of things on the car couldn't get them mounted directly in line with the wind coming at the car.
