I've always read that even though there is no speed limit at the autobahn, there are less accidents on there when compared to say U.S. freeways. I guess this proves no matter where, all it takes is a couple of bad moves and kabaam.

I get passed going 130. Depends on which bahn, and between the cameras even then. The difference is that americans have no idea what lane discipline is, or how to drive safely.

Over there, they have something called driving etiquete. They see someone coming up behind them in the fast lane, they pull over. They use their signals and its alot harder to actually get your license.

^^
The faster cars will signal you to move over with their flashing headlights. Most of the bad accidents occur in the heavy fog on the Autobahn's.
