The autobahn actually has lower fatal crashes than US roads, mostly because the cars are built to crash on it, and they use double railing, refinish the road frequently, and drive totally differntly than here in the US of A.

Montana's fatality rate was on average lower before they reinstated a speed limit...
So speed limits primary use is to conserve fuel (very uneffective) and generate revenue (very effective)
