Now if you start talking about those punny kilometers thats another story for another thread.
No, lets keep it on this one.
Kilometers are great.
After driving on the european mainland, kiloms made it all worthwhile.
Imagine driving along and you see a '100 to' sign. When you are still thinking of miles from back home, your heart sinks as you think, 'Oh no, another hour and a half's driving' and the surprise you get when you get there in about 50 minutes.
The only prob is speed limits. Just on the outskirts of Frankfurt aM, I was knabbed by the police for doing 120mph in a 120kph limit. Cost me a lot of money with an on the spot fine, and only about 5kms from my final destination.
You have to be very careful when going past built up areas on the autobaan at night, the speed limits change, to stop the traffic noise from waking up the locals.
