Yes, because the safety aspect of keeping your distance etc are a matter of speed and a simple formula - whether you can break in time if the person in front of you steps on the breaks depends on physics, not laws.
Obviously forbidden - my point was that whatever the Netherlands doing is not "working" in terms of teaching drivers to drive more safely. I do appreciate the global speed limit though, it's simply less dangerous.
You clearly haven't tried the A2 between Utrecht & 's-Hertogenbosch then.
Are you maybe one of the drivers who don't get it? If the speed limit prevents the car overtaking from doing so speedily, then the car being overtaken slows down ever so slightly, the whole process is sped up immensely. You talking about "sudden changes" tells me you completely missed the point. We're not talking about using the brakes, we're talking about letting off the pedal for a bit to slow down 2-5 km/h. Difference between a car going 120 being overtaken at 121 vs. going 117 being overtaken at 121 is 1/4 of the total time needed to complete overtaking.
I'm not even going to comment on 3, because you failed to understand the previous point.
See - you don't understand how "ritsen" works, and even how the law is in the Netherlands regarding how to do "ritsen". Please educate yourself, because your logic is wrong and slows down traffic / causes unnecessary traffic jams.
