About this title

Synopsis

After 12 years of research, plus thousands of miles driving Germany's Autobahn , Rask, a lifelong automotive and racing enthusiast, exposes half-truths and myths about the speed factor in traffic accidents in America. He analyzes the combination of safety and speed on the Autobahn and offers an exciting new direction for America's interstates that would make speeds of 100 mph or more commonplace on open stretches of rural freeway, with far greater safety than ever imagined at 55 mph. Includes b&w photos of highways and vehicles. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
