This is true for every country in the world. I live in Germany and we
are allowed to go as fast as we like on the Autobahn - no speed limit
involved at all.
I and all Germans dont assume 1000mph would be safe to drive. Most
German car manufacturers limit their cars to 250km/h or 150mph so thats
a speed you can observe every day.
Sign posted speeds dont are not telling you "this is the speed which is
safe for 100% of the vehicles" but this is the maximum allowed.
You are still required to drive safely.
