What you should care! – General rools of driving fast in Germany –

• Things get close very quick and entrys as exits can become short if you have to break down from 200km/h
• Police can be always on the scene in official police or inofficial cars (Decent black, silver coloured BMW, VW, Mercedes). Also in parts without speed limit they look if you maybe surpresse another car, drive to close or go on driving fast after entering a speed limited part of the highway
• Driving inside citys or overland is quiet relaxed compared other countries in europe or on the world. But sometimes it can be also be challenging in a foreign country but as you certainly now germans are used to follow rules …but don’t count on it!
• Flashlights especially in the rural areas, villages. On the highway mobile ones, on bridges and next to the road. There are Warn Apps but which are legal to download but illegal to use in Germany.
• Have a look at the left track before you enter it. Cars are really comming nearer quickly and the german driver hates nothing more than to break because of a slow tourist on the fast track ; ) Compare it with the Tourist Caravans in Australia which are blocking the streets for the faster road trains
