psa: if you are an enthusiast i would highly recommend going to germany to drive on the autobahn at least once before you die or it gets a speed limit. you don't even have to drive fast, half the fun is seeing how incredibly fast other people are going in minivans and tiny hatchbacks or whatever. and of course the super expensive cars.
- bzzzt 3y agoMost people just do 120-140kph and call it a day. Of course, there are some fast cars overtaking everybody. You will have to pay more attention to surroundings even when driving 160+ since a Bugatti passing with 250kph will be near you just after you see it in your rearview mirror.
- Scoundreller 3y ago> You will have to pay more attention to surroundings Largely you don’t. You just have to avoid driving like a North American by staying in the right-most lanes unless passing. Germany isn’t different in that you’re responsible for not hitting what’s in front of you. If you’re on a 2-lane highway and go into the passing lane at 150 to pass the car going 120, for the Bugatti popping up going 250 approaching that manoeuvre, tough, it’s gotta slow down for the 150 vehicle (which will go back in front of the 120 vehicle once the pass is completed because Europe). Meanwhile in USA/Canada, I’ve seen vehicles going under the speed-limit immediately head for the “fast-lane” right from the on-ramp with absolutely nothing ahead of them to warrant that.
