Default Re: School Privatization

Your post assumes values which I disagree with, but rather than elaborate on those I'd just like to point out that in Germany and Hungary there are no effective speed limits on super-highways. Techinically there is in that the letter of the law says there is, but it is never enforced, except in construction or other reduced-speed areas, and everyone knows it.

If you drive 150 miles on a super-highway in either country it is 98% certain you will be passed by a high-speed car whose limiting factor is its own engineering and not the laws of the State.

Europeans are MUCH more courteous on the roads and show more skill in driving and if anything there is a negative correlation with the strictness of laws because over here both the laws and their enforcement are quite lax.
