Trafficschwarzenegger_2 March 1, 2006, the Office of the Governor of California, policy discussion:

SCHWARZENEGGER: On a freeway in Germany there is no road rage, because people go 180 miles an hour. What road rage do you want there?

MALE VOICE: Yeah, really.

SCHWARZENEGGER: It's over, exactly. And this is why no one ever falls asleep in Germany, because you drive too fast and that raises the blood pressure and you can't fall asleep this way. So that's why in Germany they always say that the faster you go the less chances at night for you to fall asleep, because if you go (inaudible) so you fall asleep because it's boring. But if you go with your car and you barely have to make the lanes and then go between the traffic and then you blink, and it's kind of action over there. It's like a racing kind of thing.
