1899

Description

Everyone worldwide knows of the German Autobahn - the fastest highway on Earth because of the absence of a speed limit. This concept brings up 2 thoughts for many Americans: 1. How does this work without causing accidents? 2. Take me there now so I can drive really fast! However, the Autobahn works because the Germans understand the unwritten rules that come along with it. The government is able to allow their drivers to go over 140km/hour because German drivers understand that the left lane is fast and for passing only, while the right is for smooth driving. There is some talk of establishing a speed limit, but many Germans feel that this would be a violation of their rights!

I'll never forgot driving in

I'll never forgot driving in my Skoda rental about 115mph, thinking I was hot stuff, and then in my rearview mirror I'd see the BMW's coming up, I'd move over to the "slower" lane and those babies would pass me like I was sittin' at a stoplight!
