I felt so much safer and more relaxed driving 110 mph there than I do going 65 on an American highway. I can assure you that this feeling of safety is illusionary (unfortunately I do not have any comparison). :) If you are going 110 mph, you better have good brakes and fast reaction. Especially in the bends where you could be surprised by the wall of lorries where one is taking over the line of them 60 mph. Or pay attention to the special one who turns in front of you to start over taking 75 mph (without any indication, but with little practice you will get a gut feeling when it is bound to happen). But in general people on the autobahn are not really nervous and are quite predictable in my opinion. No one hangs out in the passing lane. No one tailgates. Also do not be surprised when you see blinking head lights from the rear mirror (while still going 110 mph).
