Another myth would be „people want to ride fast“ - indeed, the majority of Germans now support a speed limit on the Autobahn: https://www.adac.de/verkehr/standpunkte-studien/positionen/t...

Given the advantages mentioned in the original article, it’s becoming silly that there’s still no speed limit. Why isn’t there? Probably because the minority who wants to drive fast is very vocal about it.

This has been compared to gun laws in the US, which also seem to be defended by a vocal minority (source: too lazy to look up).
