is almost every place. so thing you do in this country like to keep taking on the powers that be the risk. everything turned into our needs. activists, journalists, and politicians living in exile the way to which they move for their mission. what drives them. people need to know what is happening that our series guardians of truth watch. now on youtube dw documentary, we speed on highways. we drift off road. we drive in style and we serve on buses. everything on 4 wheels now on the

is this the sound of the german auto body? maybe if you're just visiting. but for many local sperling down the highway at top speed is normal. germany could cut millions of tons of c o 2 a year with a speed limit. so why doesn't the self proclaimed green power tickets put off the gas? in germany, the debate around the speed limit is polarizing a slight majority. once one of the opposition is loud, speak finish off. if it doesn't make sense to drive 200 kilometers per hour, just to have some fun or feel superior to other people, that's the thing we should keep it as it is. we are restricted everywhere. what i and also about the apparently gas prices stood on high enough to make people drive . so it was bugged out. why do we build cars with more than 50 horse power?

so we can only drive a 100 kilometers per hour and assign them. the discussion often doesn't revolve around facts. it's a kind of an now, so to say, in motion of the phase. gotcha, deo, wrote a book about mobility in germany. costs people want to stock to be free to have that free will of drive with it really fast. germany has more than 13000 kilometers of autobahn, famously well maintained and toll free for congress. most countries have speed limits to improve road safety, are concerned fuel. you can drive as fast as you want on 70 percent of german highways. opponents of a speed limit argue that there are fewer road debts per kilometer on the autobahn than in countries like france or italy. but experts like the german road safety council say it would become even safer with a limit. in recent years, the discussion has shifted to the climate. the one thing all studies agree on is

that a speed limit on highways with lower emissions. but how much? according to a study by the german environment agency, the country could cut up to $6700000.00 tons of c o 2 per year, but the speed limit of $120.00 that's about as much as low emission countries like rolanda and eritrea pollute in a year another study commissioned by the car friendly f d p party puts the reduction of just $1100000.00. so just how substantial is a cut of one to 6000000 tons of c o 2 for a top polluter like germany. the opponents of a bunch of waste speed lead me to argue that the emission reductions wouldn't be 3 via transport research or julio, multi old, they just choose at the nominator that would make it appear ridiculous, ridiculously small. but i think if, if you choose a, the, the, the right, the nominator, the so would be substantial. there is

a gap between how much german transports should be emitting, according to the federal climate protection act, and how much it actually is. in 2022, the sector went over it c o 2 emissions target by 9000000 tons. a speed limit could reduce that significantly if we take the german environment agencies estimates. even if we go with the ftp estimates, a limit would still have an effect. it's such a low line hanging fluid in terms of no easy way to have other benefits in terms of safety and reducing road death. and he's already exists in, in pretty much any other country and awards. but for some germans, that's a big ask. driving fast as an expression of their freedom and cars as part of the culture, the son of john, and see it as a kind of d n a. i think it's that it's sorry to say with other kids that hitler promise to motorized, germany. in the 1930s,

a venture he said would create jobs and dr. technological development, the nazis network of highways. one of the world's 1st had no speed limits. that is until resources started running low during world war 2 and auto bond drivers had to stick to a limit of 80 kilometers per hour to conserve gas. after the war, freedom became crucial to many germans. jeremy was only destroyed where there was no hope whether was paper wow, yeah, coming back from the front and the car was a kind of freedom side. the dream of owning a car became more and more feasible. as the industry started booming, making cars became the answer to rebuilding the economy and driving them fast became a symbol of the new freedom. so west germany got rid of a nazi speed limit in 1952 and went east germany dissolved during re notification

and 1990. it's autobahn speed limits. went with it for decades. any time anyone messed with the right to drive fast, they were met with outrage. from some germans, perhaps because with so many cars and great roads driving fast might be one of the easiest ways to find a slice of freedom. it's become a bit of a selling point abroad tourist even come to germany to drive as fast as possible. but if other people also find driving fast, so fund wife's germany, one of the only countries that still allows it it's not just down to history but also the influence of the powerful german car industry. the line between politicians and the car lobby has long been blurry. so you'll see this kind of what in germany card did to effect the step out of politics. and

they've got to go to the industry or to the lobby organizations. these close ties became apparent when germany's previous transport minister met with industry representatives 80 times in 4 years for meeting with environmental groups only once . and the new government continues to give privileged access. it's last mobility summit was almost exclusively stacked with car industry reps. it's no surprise that the government has pushed for the interests of the industry, like limiting vehicle emissions caps and expanding highways. the car lobby has an actively campaigned against eliminating the speed limit. but some political parties oppose any change. as does most of the industry we need in general, widget speed limits on or seen on ships as a spokesman for a german car industry interest group or the needs and situations adapted speech

recognition. the automotive industry association va says science could display a speed limit when bad weather or traffic conditions require, if they say a strict limit would have minimal effects on the climate or road safety. they side studies saying a limit could cost german society more than a 1000000000 yours because of how much time people would lose that. they drove slower and how much less they would earn as a result. but this paper from the journal for ecological economics says a speed limit could save hundreds of millions a year because benefits like paying less for fuel damages from accidents and the effects of climate change out the way the costs a speed limit would cause the recent attempts to implement a speed limit had been blocked in parliament by the car friendly f d p party. the

instead, some opponents point to alternatives for cutting emissions. like going electric. many carmakers are becoming more open to this ship. seeing that the e u has banned the sale of new gas and diesel cars from 2035 and germany is slowly incentivizing people to go electric. but not everyone can afford to get rid of their gas powered cars or wants to. the country also needs to improve public transport in rural areas and revamp an outdated rail system. but those solutions take time. environmental researchers say a speed limit would have an effect sooner. in my opinion, if the german government funds even bring the tubs to do that, then i, i wonder what was it can do to, to reduce the size of the admissions. i think we need to have like that uh said, she was assembled. it's a bed of dreams as driving fast and owning a cough. for some this would feel like an attack on their culture or freedom,

but it would bring germany in line with most countries in the world. the 4 major thing is if i step out on the phone, the smell of bon entire is my fluids on the tries to control it and how to cause signs. how to cause slides is an amazing feeling that it's like a symphony of sounds on like movements on my new of of i well n j bash or to have nigeria as rising motor sports, holland, the food, your base, petro heads call themselves the direct hunters as competitively over steering, flashy, 6 up rides around tightly place obstacles is the name of fair game. when i said 15, how is it in uh, at a loud describe just a normal. okay,

i will let the dog zoo at the engine was a forced to linda boss the launch do what were into the truck we did. i told the guy that i want to shift to his life. now just thing is not for you. just stick to cut ops and com or difficult so and, and i was like, bro, i goes through like a mid for this stuff. i don't know how to do it, but i want to do this now is just an undisputed, i've always arrested by the police. they don't see people. i see if there is a split in the cause of a know it's out of off until they call it needs to the game, getting an engineer, but it's more to support. i want us to take this game to the next level. i don't want to do almost 3 different. i want to us to take it to the professional we. let's take this movement of motor sports somewhere to stop the law pumping. the brakes well and a bass took a different approach. the existing on public roads is a new goal everywhere and was so really strictly avoid just down the roads. however, we're, you can and we hold events as in,

like rented space is we go to the right channels. i can do please, or would safety v. i o, all of those um, organizations or targets use we go to and it's on every child to make sure that that event is functioned on that event is like fully need go safety wise, location wise noise wise. we use the show media icons like the star grounds for you to take talk to spread out. if you do is on the invite people to come over for events. it hasn't taken long for a growing subculture of new recruits to begin taking part competitors and scored on their control of the vehicles. this diagnostic flourishes and how close they can get their car can tightly placed obstacles without hitting them. box isn't cheap. is actually an expensive sport. when i started, i almost believe they gave him cause when a normal person gets like, let me, let me, let me put it in the lot. when you do one animal person gets a 100 dollar, just thinking of buying these b a phone or getting getting shed. if i should get

a 100 dollar 90 dollars, we need to make a $10.00 for me. cuz i'm always thinking of upgrading to kinda how to make the cop off or beautiful, how to make the cost on all costs. one of the biggest expenses is tire. ro is one year of us, the all by the way. and because they walk on british on, you're going to like 10 tires or 15, but after that, a competition and you have 2 inputs in your funds, you're just linking the cod doing some borne out. some cruise quotes the funds, the just taking idealized physical space is a watching you while you, i just in gives a, makes you happy to because you see them smiley and you see them getting excited. the live you see the joy on the edge and i didn't pump in them. so of course it's going to transfer onto you now because i get an idea of what skills i definitely opened yet. so i don't have any doubt or anything that we would of cities be able

to represent $90.00 and activities. so something out for you, it's funded into nice houses as the smoke clears, it's time for our well and j bash to get their rigs ready for another ride of my pride and joy in this that goes to a mexican army, there's a pilot. i've never, never, ever had it stored for one at the end of the this is the story of a beloved, 66. you know, if you had 1100 elegant boss, phone from grandfather to son, to them fun. and it's close. 900000 artists. they say in india, 9 less kilometers. everybody did it from my progress

the it's been there because in the front of the right film inception the to the used car. so you don't have to worry about things not working because not used for a long period of the, the ts 1100 elegans plum proportions and smells like light on the front. june met the nickname duka, which translates the pig in some indian languages. it's a significant god, they've got a generation of indians marching in doors or the delivery of chicago. everything used to be about or anything, all 5 years in deep. so basically we'd been using the car right from the start. there were a lot of pressure on me about 55 years back to said why you're using something with

god that more than god. but i'm only new so that you're like, even when we were small and dad used to drive us or it automatically, i like that for the really me down any really busy down any room. so i said bring you have system is i've been machine play political to be seated a did by the vision of mind and all those people, i think people the same people assume that the wild card is the apple of friends. i that doesn't stop them from treating it like a regular will cost they called so the car is having clock 900000 kilometers and to 1991 up to which they stopped keeping track you down about the shows tonight elect to i mean we maintain is on the car. this is

a made in march 1974. we didn't get anywhere on the day. doesn't require any pressure. they've been said before, i think on a trip. if i decide to go to boy, i does. most of the fun printed up and i will, if i have to go to the new red, i do go to the from fill it up and more than just goes to name like you want me to is or play that i've never, never, ever had it stored home and they've had some memory to be doing these. they need to like when the luggage scared you of came loose on a road trip to 7 fleet street, 130 or right say the year the course i mean from

the live site or anything that we're going along for the last 40 miles and they have also been george epps with slightly heavier experiences, blank on a downhill stretch between them by and go up to just before i'm really got started, i don't want it. but as it goes in and i really am, i think we have no breaks on engine breaking on view. so 3 times in my own shipping wasn't very slow. so we switched or so i was sitting there one hand on the jump. so i was lucky,

i later to download a single one and on the and very one on the go button at least. then the latest piet, simplicity proved to be a boon and i'll probably finish the phone or on the issue. then we go to the length of one break, so then we continue with you. i don't think you can do in 5 minutes. it's very simple. it's, it's really logical and over perhaps it's bmw o 868. for simplicity that's been key and converting the 5 this on your average betral heads. after all, it's the con, which below and drive i did this got, i think you're going to keep it. i also learned that this time it's this very god that helps them home. then mechanical skills, have done a lot of things sitting on this in my for these days and then that something absolutely unique. i dare say i that is,

i had been working this guy didn't do it since i did write that thing, no clutch. and that was all done by fabricating things here in it would say uh, workshop seamlessly. and there was a whole complete system i put up. but then look at the laws don't allow any conversion. so it was an expanded man after that in some one out of the way they have been doing most prominent experiments. now this is what we've been feared indoors the ocean weaker to renew the air printer for the car was in the air conditioners, right? visits in africa. so i got this one from a duty, or if i mean that i am not getting the credit. and i just remove this, the d d i have a full life site that goes in connecting to this. now this is the way to whomever i

show it, to. nobody realizes that for you, it means something like this. well, that heavy duty is who's who might be a j, a. d. but so is the p at $1100.00. once the most popular, called an indian streets, now it's a hot spark machine that's joined with lots of affordable classics so much so that a classic meet an elderly gentleman preferred showing is jen from this piet, over the rolls royce, the faith of luke us. first of all, we didn't see many of them, but there was a good cause to look at and send them, you're going to them. and then you see want to i want to show my grandson that these are the kinds of since the don't do you good include 6 because people often

find it hard to understand why this is the one they chose to dave to call me on this day you had predicted why is this coming into it isn't important that the kind of main stock julie deb, isn't ready to suppose to say that. but the good thing of the human being should need it is important to preserve because caddick to the media and that's not stuck in the company doesn't change. so they do work on the colored corridors really came black, very early on this machine,

and it's important that the economy, it's the exact thing mechanical extended by it has to be going to see this, how it started really impressed with for the 66 year old machine with 900000 kilometers on the old, old. and it's made it that hang from below is a fee for me. something for me or something to me enjoy. i mean, really it was, it don't use it. we had me more speed up a parking ticket for that, but that doesn't mean that goes into portfolios and see because you don't drive the meals and the kind, the good hands of the 2nd and 3rd generation owners from hobbles, the whole set, perhaps a 4th generation who indeed made some the drive this, betty?

man, somebody said that the national. okay. the in fee that the generation has been the longest to god is the new. so we quoted that. but if there was a 4 generation, unfortunately, that's that close to them plus meaning what i mean, i don't know. but these are sort of the people who talk about the 4th generation. no, not these p at 1100 still occupies stopped the spot in trans hot right into the in kenya. but time to surfing is a growing trend. as fully loaded many bus taxis where my talk is kareen down nairobi is bustling

streets, but talk to surface perform acrobatics while hanging on or out of the moving vehicles. one of them because i am the ot earns $1.00 per trip and loves the adrenalin. the what i do is not risky at all because i've done it for a long time. and i'm used to it through just like muscle lives where practice makes perfect. when i stuff with my to is electronics 2 or 3 passengers every now and then as well as may make great social media content. some kenyans are concerned they try to impress people, but that again too much for someone come today from me. there are many traffic accidents in kenya, and the road network is still developing. what types of surfing adds to the already troubling statistics like that without sounding one bit rates of the call waiting, moving, might lead to catastrophic den does not only to themselves,

but also that would use us. it's also an extra expense on how that would use a cdn spin on to need to be put in place for such kind of people as long as surfing remains legal, majority and his comrades in arms will take the risk for the financial rewards. hold you on my part of the customer, the different forms of income. yeah, i mean i'm a, i mean customer, me like what to do. so when i go to charge him, he's fair. he tells you what you do is attractive, as there's some cash on the side part on up to me, all color will have more enticing mobility stories. next time on wrap the,

the, the, this code read for here for every year. terrible fires rage across the continent. protecting these eco systems from the flames is more important than ever . we mean people from spain and germany to want to make

a difference. they share their ideas and they're right in passion for the for the close of 90 minutes on d. w. the meeting, the heat drives and what's behind van dw news on the show that hopefully issues shaping the continents slowly getting back to normal here. well just to give you enough for points on the inside of correspondences on the ground reporting from across the continent. all the french stuff from outside to you is africa every friday and dw sometimes a seed is all you need to allow big ideas to grow or bring an environmental
