They’ll issue a warning “You autobahn going slower.”

Speed limit free my azz. I got 2 speeding tickets on the autobahn while I was in Germany. Only certain sections of it are speed limit free and you can come up on a limited section pretty quickly, one that just happens to have cameras.

When I was a lad, there was no speed limit on rural highways in Nevada. “Reasonable and proper” was the rule. If you were driving fast and recklessly, they could pull you over. The highways were empty and pretty much straight. My dad cruised at 120 mph in his ‘51 Jag.

I thought the Interstate Highway system was designed for speeds much higher than what have been imposed.

Sounds like the Germans don’t care about saving the world, after all.

They shoud check out Route 60 in New Mexico between Mountainair and Route 25. Perfectly flat and straight for over 20 miles. Local sportbikers would go there and wind it up over 170.

That’s like making German Beer “near beer” and Brats made out of fungus.

Back in the 60’s we used to convoy down the autobahns. We would usually do about 60. The German’s could not stand that and we would invariably have to pry a vehicle from underneath a deuce and a half.

I was there in the 90’s, and owned a 1979 Opel Kadett.

I stayed in the slow lane with the Czech semis because that wee bugger couldn’t break 110K.

My sister came to visit me in ‘95, about three months before my PCS. I rented a new Opel Vectra for the week. Finally got to practice lane changes as it easily topped 200K. Still had Benzes and other mysterious craft flashing brights and breezing by like I was stationary.

No speed limit is needed.
NOW there are SO many cars on their roads that it's impossible to go any faster than 35 miles an hour, except maybe at 3:00 A.M.

Greta, go there and say ‘How Dare They’. Matter of Fact... Stand on the Autobahn and say it...

I used to have a dream of renting a BMW 3 Series in Germany and doing 120MPH on the Autobahn. But after having recently had the opportunity to drive an M3 around a small race track during a BMW sales event I know it would be unwise for me to do so.

Having driven the autobahn I can attest that 80 mph is the slow lane. 😆
