Brit here who has driven a lot in both the US and DE, int al. You are talking about "undertaking" - which needs two lanes. The P(GP?) is on about people driving slowly on a scenic route and I've had a look at the road in question and it has one lane for quite a lot of its length. I'll asert: Accidents on an autobahn in DE do tend to be quite nasty when they happen. (Observation: I lived in West Germany for about 10 years and my family name literally means "german")

The road is a single lane in each direction with fairly regularly spaced turn out lanes where the car could safely enter without slowing down a lot and let a few of the followers pass them. What happens in practice is that many professionals like truck drivers use them and most tourists do not, so you end up going with the speed of the largest RV.

> on about people driving slowly on a scenic route and I've had a look at the road in question and it has one lane for quite a lot of its length. Quite a few places are building regular intervals of "2+1 roads" for regular passing opportunities: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%2B1_road https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2%2B1_road * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_Zero https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_Zero If people know they'll shortly have a chance to pass 'easily' they may become more patient.
