German Chancellor Angela Merkel insisted Sunday that her government would not try to introduce a speed limit on the nation's freeways, despite a proposal from her coalition's junior party.
Members of the center-left Social Democratic Party, who along with Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union make up the governing coalition, backed a proposal over the weekend to introduce a general speed limit of 130 kph (80 mph) on Germany's famed freeways, the autobahn.
Asked in an interview to be aired Monday on state-run ZDF television station what she thought of the proposal, Merkel flatly rejected it saying, "It won't happen with me."
