Istanbul is not a capital city. Capital of Turkey is Ankara. Obligatory: Erdogan is a fucking twat

    btw, Constantinople¹ is also not the capital. Why they changed it, though, I can't say.

    The suggested speed on the Autobahn is still 130 km/h. If you're going significantly faster and cause an accident, your insurance will probably consider you at fault and only cover what they're (edit: legally) obligated to.

    I drive in Germany sometimes and the roads are too busy to be going very fast, my average never got much higher than 150 km/h even if you only count the fastest portions. To be fair I haven't tried crossing the country starting on a Sunday at 3 AM, you can probably go as fast as is efficient to not waste time on extra refuelling because of the car's drag.

    Do a lot of Europeans stay 10% under the speed limit? Because that sure as hell ain't the case in America.

    I think its to calculate with the likely stops you are going to take during the journey

    In my experience, travelling ~90km/h most of the time but adhering to local limits, stop signs, etc. drags you down to the average ~60km/h speed all throughout the route.

    As for going 120km/h on the highway, you still effectively get around 80-100km/h average speed.

    10% down is extremely optimistic

    By the way: This "how far can I get from a specific point within time xy?" is called isochrones.

    Very interesting when you move somewhere and want to know what's in range.

    Isn't it nice that you can drive 8 hours and still not be in France?
