I believe the situation in Germany is similar, e.g. if there is a 130 km/h maxspeed recommendation (which is there implicitly on the whole network) but you drive at 250 km/h and someone else gets frightened and makes an accident the fault might be attributed to you. I recall several cases where test drivers of Mercedes caused deadly accidents on the highways around the main production plant (A8, A81, A5), there is even a wikipedia article in English about one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accident_on_the_Bundesautobahn_5 Cheers, Martin
