As an American expat living in Munich, I honestly don't know which choice you made. For me the easy choice would have been the train... Large, comfortable seats, room to get up and walk around, no traffic, and no need to focus on driving. You're right, it's not a hard choice.
- civilitty 8y agoWell, yeah. You live in Germany so the novelty of a no speed limit highway has worn off, if there was one. Most tourists visiting Germany probably haven't experienced a road way with no speed limit so to them it is novel.
- Scoundreller 8y agoAlso, we hadn’t experienced a highway where drivers stay in the right lane unless passing.
- ironjunkie 8y agothat IS definitely the most painful thing about driving in the US. People drive in any random lanes, not related at all to the speed they go at. It makes it so much more dangerous and inefficient for everyone.
- dagw 8y agoLast time I drove (well I was a passenger) on the 'no speed limit' Autobahn I think we averaged ~70 km/h for the whole trip, and spendt the last 90 minutes of our trip never getting above 30. I'll take the train every time. Honestly driving on a long straight crowded highway is just as dull no matter what the speed limit.
- jlg23 8y agoMost actually have a limit and even on those that don't you should not exceed 130km/h unless you know the road: the next speed limit will come and just afterwards a speed trap....
- Scoundreller 8y agoWell aware. I’ll also point out that Mercedes’ GPS was awful at the time. It would send us through these “shortcuts” that it thought were 80km/h, but was actually posted at 30. We gave up on it when it said this 1-lane railway underpass, for 2 way traffic, was an 80km/h road...
