Driving faster decreases the chance of being hit by other drivers. Driving faster increase the chance of you losing control.
It may sound good but... You can't really go that fast anymore most of the times. Its full of cars most of the times, some sections are pretty twisty, so even if you are allowed to do whatever you may want, its not really possible to go nuts there.... Furthermore its full of cops, most are in unmarked cars, and they are pretty strict... Lane change without indicators? Thats a nice fine on the spot.Tailgating? You can even loose your lic if you are local... Overtaking on the right etc, same story... And even if you go fast, you can not put anybody else in a risky position, if the police say its reckless driving, it is, and you pay. A lot...
Ohh...I feel that these points you highlight deserve a video in itself. 😂
Technically it does have a speed limit. The law recommends driving 130 km/h maximum - if you exceed this limit and are involved in an accident, you will be at least partially responsible in front of the law, if the accident could have been avoided with lower speed.
