MODERATORS
I explicitly asked my insurance company (verbally, not a chatbot) about this last time I went to Germany. They said as long as I'm not breaking any laws, my insurance is valid. No speed limit means there is no "too fast to be insured".
I believe it only counts for German insurance companies. As it's their country with no speed limit, so it's a standard extra risk. When you go abroad to Germany your own insurance doesn't have these high risks because it's not all their customers driving on these roads. But that's what I think, I'm not sure but it sounds logic to me.
Nah I think this is a misunderstanding. I've never seen insurance conditions that stipulate a general speed limit. But what does happen is that if you're in a high-speed accident, police may assign part of the blame to you for driving in a reckless manner, and that may result in a reduced or no payout.
This is what chatgpt says:
Insurance and Liability Considerations
While exceeding the recommended speed is not illegal, it can affect liability in the event of an accident:
Increased Liability: If you're involved in an accident while driving over 130 km/h, you may be held partially liable, even if the other party is primarily at fault. This is because higher speeds are associated with increased operational risk.
Insurance Implications: Your insurance coverage may still apply, but the insurer could reduce compensation if it's determined that your excessive speed contributed to the accident's severity.
Can you ask it for sources?
