Um, that should be "are not jeopardizing"! ;)

Big difference, sorry!

Yes, it is still only 100 kph or about 63 mph on most. Some are up to
110 kph which is closer to 70 mph.

Actually the best foul weather highway car I ever owned was a
darned Porsche 914/2. The balance and steering pretty much
made up for the lack of ground clearance or 4wd. Used
to drive that little sucker on freeways where even the
Semi's were beginning to head for safer venues... and passed
many a 4wd vehicle in the ditch.

Now for *slow* driving in really sucky weather, my preference
would be a farm tractor if it weren't for the brass monkey
factor, so will stick with a 4wd for that.

However, perhaps it is from growing up in areas where you
could drive on the highway more safely than you could walk
that gives me the willies when folks honestly are of the
highly mistaken impression that a 4wd is worth squat on
a freeway at high speed.
