"And, how can the Germans have the innate ability to control their vehicles at high speeds, but we Americans are deemed too stupid and inept to do so"
That's because we are!! How many of us stick to the right on a freeway? How many times do we get stuck behind someone doing 50mph in the left lane while they're drinking cofee & talking on the phone? How much training do we require to get a license?
Generalizing broadly, we get treated like idiots because we act like idiots. The lack of any kind of driving standards & the need to cater to the lowest common denominator, coupled with our fervent belief that the "right" to drive is ours, despite whatever dangers we may pose to others, is the problem.
As for this dude caught speeding, he deserves to do time. Suspending someone's license does little to stop them from driving & fines often go unpaid. Iv'e done stupid $hit like this when I was younger, and if I was caught I wouldn't expect any less
