Interesting to hear about all the traffic on the Autobahn! Last time I was on it was a family trip to Germany in 2009! As a teenager I urged on my dad to try and hit 200 km/h. He almost made it.
Ha yeah, I guess on a weekend in the holiday periods there’s always a bigger chance of traffic jams. During the week, or late at night / early in the morning it’s okay. You need to have a bit of luck of course. These last couple of years I did notice that on the 120/130kph limited sections everyone behaves quite well, then when it’s free you get up to speed and then suddenly someone tries to overtake a truck with 101kph and before you know it everyone drives 60 again … :) It’s fun to get up to speed for a bit, but (with our car at least) it’s not very economical to drive faster than 140kph, so that is our typical cruising velocity :)
