    In Estonia we get the - Oh someone drove drunk and crashed on this road a year ago - better put up a speed limit of 70km/h on this kilometer for all eternity. And If there is ever the second accident they will reduce it to 50km/h. And put up a speed cam. I live in fear for the moment when there will be a third accident on the major highway I need to take 2 times per day. They will probably make people come out of the cars and push.
