Are you sure about this?  It's been awhile since I last visited the ol'
homeland, but if the above were true, most of the accidents that occur
on the Autobahn wouldn't be covered by insurance.

Just curious - a couple years ago I was riding my cousin's bike on the
Autobahn - average speed 180km/h - I'd hate to think that I wasn't covered
by his insurance (but then again, if I had an accident at that speed, I guess
there wouldn't be much need for me to get coverage :-)
