60-second video introduction to the book, the dream, the reality.

"AMERICAN AUTOBAHN, written and autographed by Mark Rask, takes an 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. The book offers an exciting new direction for America's Interstate that would make speeds of 100 miles per hour or more, commonplace on open stretches of rural freeways, with far greater safety than ever imagined at 55 miles per hour. Cool! There's a lot of people who would like that!"

"Will there ever be a rural American interstate with no speed limit? The answer is abolutely yes. Or it could be absolutely no, depending on what direction we choose to take as a nation. When it comes down to the options before us. Only three possibilities remain: The first is to do nothing, maintaining a status quo that all but guarantees that 40,000 people will die this year and every year afterwards. The second is to make a true commitment to the Slow-is-Always-Safer credo by allowing safety experts and Washington bureaucrats to determine what constitutes a slow enough, 'safe' speed, and then enforcing this limit by retrofitting every vehicle on the road with mandatory speed governors.... The third, and final, option is to work to minimize the accident risk of higher-speed driving and to integrate this Fast-and-Safe philosophy into our highway safety network."
