    Well it’s nice not to have a speed limit, but every time I see one, it’s such a sigh of relief.

    Story time:

    Not so long ago, I was on that 4 or 5 lane autobahn before arriving to Munich. I was already dark, overtaking some car, leaving the most left line empty. Then these laser high beams basically illuminating the nearby Alps. I was thinking geez I’m doing 160, relax dude, you have a free lane here. I moved to the right, 2 lanes to my left are now free. Car flies by me, doing probably like 50-70 more than I, AND, AND this guy gets overtaken by another one with about the same speed difference relative to the guy doing 210-230.

      Which is probably why they were freaking out trying to get you to move. Don’t get me wrong it’s been fun when I drove the autobahns as a tourist trying my best to respect the unwritten (and written) rules, and pushing my car like I can’t do elsewhere, but god damn was it bad for my blood pressure!
