Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIt doesn’t make sense an American standard would use km/h.
Article:
This limit at 250 km/h dates back decades and has origin in Germany.
You:
so vehicles weren’t faster than police vehicles
Article:
They reached a gentlemen’s agreement to electronically limit the maximum speed of its models to 250 km/h.

Lol, too cheap to provide the right tires, so let’s make a cartel agreement to hobble our vehicles. Yeesh.
Thats worse than the American reasoning.
So I just want to point out, that’s it’s not unusual for people to convert while discussing. 250 is very close to the metric equivalent (it’s rounded to it for this reason) of 160 miles. Which conversely is also double the sped limit of most states, which is what governers are usually mandated at.
