Rules and regulations make things difficult. It is even more difficult to people that operate on different ones on a regular basis but never read the rules. A lot of Dutch people often visit Germany. Driving in Germany is considered fun by most because they do not have a speed limit. Since we have a speed limit (nation wide) of 100 km/h people sometimes even go to Germany just to hear they engines roar. All of them do not realise that going over the Dutch speed limit in a different country means you Dutch insurance will not pay out when you have an accident. Very nice to encounter that after you wrecked your car...

Even Germans don't know their insurance won't cover or just partially cover crashes happening > 130km/h (hint: Richtgeschwindigkeit/recommended speed is 130km/h everywhere, even on Autobahn stretches without speed limit).

Wait, what? Really? What a daft insurance. So you're limited to 100km/h even on an unlimited stretch of the autobahn, with people going a lot faster around you? Or even somewhere like Poland where the limit is 140km/h and driving 40km/h slower than everyone else is an actual hazard?

This is new to me and I've been doing this very thing for a while (though not yet with an accident) - do you have a source for this?

On the positive side I’m pretty sure that if you have a crash at 100+ km/h, then vehicle insurance is going to be the least of your worries.

Not convinced on the specifics ("Dutch speed limit"), but reduced or no cover for the Nürburgring is very much a thing.

When crashing at a speed over 100 km/h, car insurance would be one of the last things that should worry you.

I have a really hard time believing that this is true. Assuming you don't have some special insurance, you should be covered on all public roads in the EU as long as you drive according to the laws of those countries.

yet more proof that insurance is a scam

Also there is actually a limit, the amount of roads where there isn't one gets smaller every year.

Ongoing construction works, local municipalities that want to reduce noise, others want to reduce traffic jams, end up with enough places limited between 80 and 100 km/h.
