Jokes aside you are only allowed to drive as fast as is safe for those around you

There is no one around me. They are all behind me.
Yes I am a BMW driver. How could you tell?

Because it's a 1-lane road, you're going 20 under the limit and refuse to use any turnouts.

Asking the real questions.

Bit of both actually, the way that Germans drive is kind of an example for the rest of Europe. I'm sure that high fines have a lot to do with it but many of the best driving habits in my country came from Germany.

Well it's midnight with no street lights, it's super foggy, and the roads are icy as fuck.

Germany has fewer than average road fatalities than most of the world. Less than average in Europe too.
It's not really statistically noticable in that regard. Not the best, but far from the worst.

The fines are low compared to where I live. One of the precious pictures of my wife is her getting cought speeding in Germany and realizing it at the same time.
Can't stop laughing everytime I look at the picture they sent us with the speeding ticket.
It was surely worth the 15 euro fine.

Could be better still. Also fewer pollution.

German here. It is true that yes, there are some parts of the German highway where there is no official speed limit. But often times, be it through traffic or speed limits, you can't drive that fast.

I moved to Germany 2 years ago, and was afraid of highways being like Mad Max, but I was positively surprised.
Most drivers are very attentive and skilled, keeping the rules, driving safe. I like it much better, than Eastern EU, where people are also going 150+, and are being assholes in the meantime. The upper limit of 130 just puts stress on me, because I obey the laws, but the giant SUV in my ass flashing their highbeams does not. In Germany this barely happens to me, most drivers are polite and safe, even in expensive sports cars.
I really came to enjoy the liberating feeling of driving at my own (and the traffic’s) pace on the autobahn. Yesterday I was travelling between Dusseldorf and Berlin, long open stretches of 3-lane roads, with only a few cars around. I was going around 200, yet I saw a car far behind me coming up fast, some polite flashes of lights from the distance, I pull to the right, and let a Porsche pass me quickly.
I might sound like a carbrain, but I’m not. Everybody should try German highways once, so they can form their own opinion, and not judge based on internet memes. I feel 10x safer on the autobahn, than on some shitty Eastern EU highway with a bunch of apes around me, who don’t care about the rules.

Exactly. I drive quite a bit between countries, and even Austria is worse than Germany. And any more east to that is just Mad Max.

200 kph is 9,500 mph, for us Americans.
