Autobahn and speedlimits

On the weekend I spent about 5 hours in a car. In a relative fast car on a German autobahn. It is actually a really good system that in my eyes works. Some stretches have no speed limit, do 300 if you can, but then when a 130 km/h zone comes, everybody slows down to that.

I believe letting people drive fast is a good thing and from what I have seen 95% do the speedlimit when it is posted. They slow down from 250 to 130, because they know around the next corner, the speed limit is lifted again.
