Regular cuising speed here in Germany (I assume, no idea what a mph is in real units.)

Quick mental math puts that at about 250kph

So standard Audi driver cruising speed.

Hey man, just don’t expect me to scrape you off three continuous miles of the Autobahn when the metric ton of steel you insist on driving at near liftoff speeds decides to get personal with the wall

It’s knots. The scary part is that the car isn’t amphibious

120kph is about 75 mph. So for this meme, 240 kph or so. Very much a speed you don't want to be going anywhere near a city, or a highway with a curve in it in the next five miles.

I go 170 on my Peugeot 207 sw from 1 2015 and only stop there because that’s about as far as it goes, so 240 on a newer car is reasonable.

Done 200 in an Audi 80 from 1992 and only stopped there because it got scary in that light old car lol
The Germans also specifically make cars to cruise at high speeds so 240 is safe as far as the car itself is concerned.

Yes, driving at that speed is safe. It is usually crashing where the issues arise.

My 2019 Toyota corolla can go 120mph. My statement wasn't about capabilities, it was about the sheer stupidity of driving those speeds at basically anywhere not set aside for it.

Oh, sorry I wasn’t objecting. I was jist talking on the german’s side. My apologies.
