European speed limits are very much in conjunction with European lane discipline. The polizei certainly pay attention to appropriate lane position ... no left lane dawdling. Overtaking on the right ("undertaking") is not permitted ... but driving slowly in anything but the rightmost lane is not permitted, either.

HWY Speed Limit Increase
- Thread starter OmegaBravo7
- Start date
Considering in average times (not Covid times when the police seem to have a lot more spare time on their hands) road enforcement is typically priority 950 on a list of 1000) that's just not realistic here.
And if they did hire thousands of new officers solely for traffic enforcement there would flaming pitchforks in the streets held by the "Cash cow!" crowds.
I'll tell you what. I'll take my parent's old Merc, grandma's Granada, or my old Buick, and you get into a super safe modern Smart for Two, and we'll have some fun, while testing who's safer.
I don't care for cars I can't buy in Canada any more (Smarts are no longer sold here), having said that,
I'd definitely take any 2020 model (it would have to be one that I research and approve of) for "safety" over the cars you listed.
Lets start with a Tesla 3 (the safest car ever tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which judged Tesla's newest car to have the lowest probability of injury in a collision of any of the over 900 cars it has tested )
I'd say that camera(sound?) guy shart his pants at 5:26 and was happy the car veered right instead of left or he would have had a face full of Smart.....
