It seems about right, I've done the trip from Barcelona to Madrid, it took six hours.

    Istanbul is not a capital city. Capital of Turkey is Ankara. Obligatory: Erdogan is a fucking twat

    btw, Constantinople¹ is also not the capital. Why they changed it, though, I can't say.

    Do that in Australia and you're possibly in the next state

    Very interesting when you move somewhere and want to know what's in range.

    I didn't catch that. Spain is twice as big as the UK, for example, and about 30% larger than Germany or 40% larger than Poland, or 12.5 times larger than Denmark, which looks like a 1/4 or 1/5 the size.

    No german city pictured because infinite -10% is still infinite

    The suggested speed on the Autobahn is still 130 km/h. If you're going significantly faster and cause an accident, your insurance will probably consider you at fault and only cover what they're (edit: legally) obligated to.

    Much of the Autobahn does have limits though :)

    Do a lot of Europeans stay 10% under the speed limit? Because that sure as hell ain't the case in America.

    I think its to calculate with the likely stops you are going to take during the journey

    In my experience, travelling ~90km/h most of the time but adhering to local limits, stop signs, etc. drags you down to the average ~60km/h speed all throughout the route.

    As for going 120km/h on the highway, you still effectively get around 80-100km/h average speed.

    10% down is extremely optimistic
