Average speed on open motorway sections in North Rhine-Westphalia state is 113.5 km/h - half of what many diesel and petrol-engined cars are capable.

Surprisingly, almost 83% of drivers voluntarily kept an average speed below 130 km/h.

Only 1% of cars drove faster than 160k /h despite the fact that the study was conducted from mid-May to the end of August 2013 .
