After 12 years of research, plus thousands of miles driving Germany's Autobahn , Rask, a lifelong automotive and racing enthusiast, exposes half-truths and myths about the speed factor in traffic accidents in America. He analyzes the combination of safety and speed on the Autobahn and offers an exciting new direction for America's interstates that would make speeds of 100 mph or more commonplace on open stretches of rural freeway, with far greater safety than ever imagined at 55 mph. Includes b&w photos of highways and vehicles. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From the Publisher:
The automotive enthusiast's "Bible" for fast-and-safe driving. Detailed, fast-paced and, yes, fun, this book shows why America has failed to improve safety on the road and how Germany has saved lives, in spite of 100 mph speeds on its Autobahn freeway system.
From the Back Cover:
Each year thousands of people are killed on this nation's highways- many more injured and disabled. The reason for this continued death and suffering is an attitude of ignorance and apathy that allows federal and state safety programs to be either ill-conceived, ineptly handled or nonexistent.
AMERICAN AUTOBAHN takes a tough but enthusiastic look at the state of American highway safety, exposing the half-truths and myths about the single most misunderstood factor in traffic accidents today- Speed.
AMERICAN AUTOBAHN analyzes the dramatic combination of safety and speed on the German Autobahn and offers an exciting, new direction for America's interstate that would make speeds of 100 mph, or more, commonplace on open stretches of rural freeway beyond the year 2000- with far greater safety than ever imagined at 55 mph.
AMERICAN AUTOBAHN will challenge everything you thought you knew about saving lives on the road.
