"When getting on the Autobahn, there will always be a "Beschleunigungsstreifen" or acceleration lane. Use it to get to speed while watching the traffic on your left (while signalling, needless to say), then merge in."
And use it to actually accelerate. A lot of people are very reluctant to step on the throttle. I always try to match speed of traffic or go even a little faster before I merge. Much easier to look forward than having to worry about people behind.
- zaarn 7y agoReluctance doesn't do it justice. During my driving exam I had to dodge someone merging on the Autobahn with less than 30 kph. Almost suicidal.
- MrMember 7y agoI'm in the US, but it's terrifying trailing behind someone doing 30mph in the acceleration lane trying to merge into 70mph+ highway traffic. I don't understand their mindset, or if they realize how dangerous that is.
- maxxxxx 7y agoThe crazy thing is that often these people have 150+ hp cars that can accelerate really well if you push the throttle just a little bit.
