Have you ever driven in Germany/on the Autobahn before?? Or in another country where the roads were completely different? 🚗 Share your stories and experiences in the comments below! 👇

This wasn't on the Autobahn, but driving in Munich, with my wife as navigator, I told her to just look at a sign, and then look on the map for that street name to determine where we were. This was pre internet and GPS. We drove round and round while she looked for Einbahnstrasse on the map. This was 1984,and we still laugh about it.

I appreciate how he keeps his eyes on the road during conversation. Well done.

I was in Germany in 86-88 and 90-91, and when I took the written International Driving Test, there were I think 50 signs and 100 questions. I got 100% on both. Woo Hoo!

When we landed in Frankfurt in '83, we were picked up by a family friend who also happened to be stationed in Bad Kreuznach. On the way from the airport to BK, I asked him what "Ausfahrt" meant. He said, "Oh, haven't you heard of Ausfahrt? That's like the biggest city in this part of Germany. That's why there are so many exits leading to it." Bahahahaha

The courage isn't driving the Autobahn....it's being on video! Congrats boyfriend! Good job!

In 2015 my wife and I took delivery of an M3. We drove it about 3,500 miles through Germany, Austria, Italy, france Belgium, And Nederlands. Sometimes on secondary roads, sometimes on the A-bahn. The car had a limiter and could not go more that 155 Mph. But that was really fast enough. Mostly due to the traffic and driving 150 mph for an hour is exhausting. We still have the car and every time I start it the memories come back……best vacation ever!

American on the Autobahn "200 km/h! I'm the King of the R..." Porsche in the rear view mirror: "Hey, slowpoke, move over, this is the fast lane!"

As a US soldier in Germany, and a driver, I logged over 180,000 miles in Germany, driving everything from VW vans, to Mercedes 50 pax motor coaches. And everything in between. I drove for passengers, rarely for cargo. My personal car was a VW Jetta. The US civilian driver license written exam was quite a challenge. A 100 question test, that you had to get 90% right, and identify 50 traffic signs, with 100% accuracy. Rarely did anyone get a first time pass. At least you were spared a road test, if you held an American license. The fastest I've ever driven on the Autobahn in my Jetta, was 119 MPH, DOWNHILL, on the Wurzberg Hill! At 2:00 AM on a Sunday morning, with nothing else on the road. Just couldn't make 120. And THAT, freunden, is a ROLLERCOASTER!

In Scotland many roads are so narrow you don't even have to think about which side is the one to drive on.

I was in Germany for 2 years. 1983 and 1984. Driving on the autobahn was intimidating but I was young and loved it. If you've ever wanted the thrill of running a Corvette, full throttle, at 155 mph, and be legal, then this is the place for you. I also learned right off to pass quickly and then get the hell back over. Because there are faster cars coming. You don't get to hang in the fast lane. They'll run you off the road. I remember one time we took the command staff from our brigade into Wurzberg to the Bishops residence for some high level briefing with the city leaders. There was division command staff and nato staff there also. This building and grounds are the most gorgeous and palatial that I've seen but actually every city in germany has something equally incredible. The interior design and furnishings are awe inspiring, but on this occasion I was relegated to guard duty with other MP personnel. We were standing in the parking lot, which is huge, and a big car pulls up with some elderly people inside. They called me over and asked if I was an American soldier and spoke English. They were americans also. Of course I said. They wanted directions to Nuremberg. I said, "sure, I've been there many times. I told them, look up on that hill straight ahead towards that castle. That highway that you're seeing all the cars on is the autobahn 3. Take it east and it will take you straight to Nuremberg. A couple hours maybe. They said, "oh no, we don't want to take the autobahn. We just got off that crazy thing". Haha. I laughed a little and said, "yeah I understand , but I can never explain to you the secondary roads directions. You would get lost. Just get on that autobahn and don't pass. Lol. Stay behind the trucks until you can't see anyone coming in the fast lane". God what a beautiful country Germany is.

I drove mostly Army trucks in convoys but one time I had to take a soldier to the airport in Frankfurt and back to Ansbach in an army jeep that topped out at about 55 mph at night. Very scary.

I have three good stories from driving in Germany on work trips between 2016 - 2019: 1) Driving the Peugeot they rented to me from Frankfort down to Ramstein and back, not so fun on the Autobahn, 2) getting a camera-trap speeding ticket in the Mercedes C class for 6 km/hr over the speed limit, even the Germans laughed at that, and 3) bumping a different C class into a German's Mercedes mini-van, in a hotel parking garage. Even said German noted it was "a small garage, and you have a big car!"

Maybe it proves im german, but i couldnt look away from the safety belt hanging way to low on the drivers arm instead around his shoulder. 🤣

In my youth a Mercedes was more of an old-people-car, because many people saved for a Mercedes but they had the money only in old age. So, it is/was kind of luxurious.

Herzlichen Dank für diesen Beitrag aus der Heimat. Ich bin, wie Du, ein Deutscher in USA. (Virginia) Diese Beiträge bringen mir ein Bisschen die Heimat auf den Schirm.

I love the moment, when Ben is like "I'm nervous guys... Here comes Feli. I'm not nervous!". 😂 Oh, Ben. 🥰 You did great! 😉👍

Like a LOT of Americans, I spent several years in Kitzingen before and when the wall came down. I only drove US Army vehicles on the autobahn back then. But recently, I spent 4 years living in Italy and made a trip back to Kitzingen to see what the place looked like after 30+ years. I had my own personal Mustang and drove from Garmisch onto 95 into Munich. Then to Regensburg, onto the 3 towards Nuremburg and Wurzburg. Then taking the 7 all the way back south to Austria again. 95 South of Munchen was perfect to open it up and get it to 230 KPH. 3 lanes and not much traffic. I still have the Vignette on the windshield from Austria. It's part of the car's history now. A lot of thumbs up while driving it in Deutschland. Some of the Audi drivers were not happy that I was passing them. Lol.

I remember my first time driving on the Autobahn I was to scared to go above 80 for the first few trips. Ben yes you can drive an old Charger in Germany I did. The Army shipped my 1970 Dodge Charger with a 440 Six Pack engine for me. That car loved the Autobahn but you are right the side streets were tight. I would even take the long way home just to avoid a few narrow streets. You did a great job for your first time.

Lived in Germany for 4 years. The autobahn was lovely. And no tolls anywhere

I was in Germany for 3 years (USAF) and in order to drive off base, I had to take a 100 question test (I missed ONE!). While the Autobahn was fun at first, what was really fun were the curvy roads from town to town. My friend lived off base and we used to race from his apartment to the base and back. The speed limit was 100 kph (62 mph) and we NEVER went the speed limit! It was very fun! My American friends told me I drove like a German. I considered that to be a compliment. Oh - the best hand position for driving is 9 and 3 - NOT 10 and 2.

Back in the 80’s I had to drive from Pirmasens , where I was stationed up to Wiesbaden. It was normally a country road trip, but they had just opened a new section on the autobahn. I was driving my new 89 Volvo . I ran it up to 100 MPH and hit the cruise control. I was in cruise at 100 and a Porsche went passed me like I was going backwards. Loved the autobahn. BTW, His term for making turns is nothing new. I grew up just north of Boston Massachusetts, and we always called a U-Turn Banging a Youie. (pronounced you-ee)

Hello Feli, Hello Ben, This is BY FAR my most favorite video of the 2 of You together! So much FUN! Feli, I LOVE listening to You talk, but I had no idea till today, that You can sing. Just the little bit You did in this video, I can tell You have a Beautiful singing voice! ✨ More singing PLEASE! 😊😎

On a trip to Yellowstone several years ago, I got pulled over on a long straight road in Idaho for doing 70 mph. I apologetically produced my German driver's license, and the cop let me go with just a warning, "Sir, this is not an autobahn. Please drive carefully". I learned my lesson.

LMAO, he's still smiling at least! Glad you both survived and had fun!

As an American, my first time on the Autobahn was in 1959 as a 6-year old passenger in my parent's Opel. Not a lot of traffic back in those days. Quite a few VW Beetles, which were very slow. Our Opel used to pass them all the time. Skipping ahead in time, I went back to Germany in 1981-83 and thoroughly enjoyed the Autobahn at 200 kph. I drove like a German driver and obeyed the traffic rules, so I never had a problem. In later years, when I went back on group business trips, I was always the designated driver. Except for August when everyone goes on vacation/holiday and there are traffic jams/Stau everywhere. 🙂👍

Ben, you are doing great! Many thanks for being in this video!

That’s awesome! I miss Germany. Was there for a week and didn’t want to leave. 😢

Fond memories of the A9 (BAB 9) ...driving 165 km/h in a VW Golf and being passed like I was a granny. Both car and highway were as smooth as glass. German engineering...none better.

How nice, dear Feli, that you and Ben are visiting Germany again. I wish you both much fun. I had to laugh a little when you told Ben to keep his hands on the steering wheel. My husband is Italian as has lived in Germany for 34 years. When he sometimes starts to argue, sometimes he didn`t keep his hands on the steering wheel and I or our daughter had to point it out to him. Just southern temperament.😅Lovely Greetings from northern Germany.

I'm American and living in Austria, speed limit here in Tirol is only 100 km/hr on the autobahn, once I cross the border to Germany, I then can drive 130 km/hr and really enjoy it, there are only a few more stretches of the autobahn in Germany with no speed limit, I once did over 200 km/h for a while and loved it but people were passing me as if I was parked on the highway! I drive a lot here in Europe and admit that driving in Germany on the autobahn is the most thrilling experience for anybody. Love your videos, they are great!

I'm from the US (drive on the right) and I drove in the UK (drive on the left) from downtown London to Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, then back to London). That was quite the experience. I found KZfaq video, before hand, of how to do it, though. That was SOOOO helpful! Maybe you need to do a Driving in Germany series 😃

Good job . I drove on the autobahn in 2022 for the first time. I was anxious also. The fast cars on the autobahn were flying by so fast. Looks like we both survived.

Drove so much in Germany...loved it!!!! Best and safest roads ever!

An amusing story from a group of Americans with me on a road trip through Germany. A first-timer said that “I’m surprised that I haven’t heard of that city Ausfahrt. It must be pretty large since all exits seem to go there.” 😉

I rented a car in Berlin through AutoEurope. I specified a C class Mercedes. When I got to Hertz to pick it up, the man behind the counter said, "We have a really nice car for you today. It is a Volvo station wagon." I wasn't sure if he was joking or serious. He was serious and it turned out to be a really nice car with every possible upgrade, including traffic monitoring navigation with a lovely female British voice directing us around traffic snarls.

I lived and worked in Munich for 4 years and lived in Bavaria for almost ten years. I returned to the US a few months ago and I miss my friends and miss Germany! And yes, I driven on the autobahn obviously and loved every bit of it! ;-)

I learned how to drive in Germany 🇩🇪 love how speedy people get around 💕

Am i the only one who didnt knew Feli can sing?! Like, she really hit these notes, as far as i can tell.

Such great videos make Germans appreciate (again) more how good we have it with the Autobahn in Germany. We spent our honeymoon in Florida in 2002 covering about 3200 miles in 3 weeks. From Miami to Key West, where we got married, to Tallahassee and back to Miami. And it wasn't always so relaxing to drive there. Thanks to you both for the video!! Greetings from Northern Germany ♥️🇩🇪

Hi Feli, first let me say that was an excellent video showing some of the challenges faced by an America's first experience on the AB. I spent 10 years there during my career and my first experience was on the AB between Schweinfurt and Frankfort. We were doing doing 85 in an American car that was not designed for for sustained higher speeds. But, I did drive a variety of vehicles including my first German car a 1965 Audi, then a 1976 German VW Beetle, then a 1983 VW, a 1984 AMC (now out of business), and finally in 1991 I brought my 1986 Pontiac Fiero with me from the states. Each had their own unique handling characteristics while on the AB, but my favorite was the Fiero. It had a speedometer ceiling of 130 MPH ( 209 KPH) and you know I just had to test it. I was on the AB between Frankfort and Mannheim when I hit a stretch with no speed limit. The car handled great but the speedometer was hitting 130 MPH and bouncing so I believe i was doing about 140 actual speed. I was passing everything in sight when I glanced in my rear-view mirror and there was a BMW sitting right on my bumper flashing his headlights and behind him a Porsche. I was shocked but I pulled over the first chance I had and slowed down. Needless to say they passed me like i was sitting still. On the opposite side of the coin I had the unfortunate experience in 1991 of seeing several Trabants with their 2-cycle engines on the AB chugging along at about 60 MPH. Needless to say just about everyone was passing them as soon as we could. There were some less pleasant experiences in Army vehicles (tanks, jeeps, etc.) in convoys on the AB. Once the entire convoy was stopped by some Bundesgrenzschutz. Apparently someone in the American convoy had thrown some trash from their vehicle which caused a German civilian car who was passing to swerve and scrap the Army truck and came to a stop on the left side of the AB. The BGS held the convoy until the Polizi could get there and investigate. A soldier was arrested and the convoy commander had to go to great lengths to get him freed. Another time on a country road a young lady was driving too fast and on a curve, never saw the American tank coming in the opposite direction. She hit the tank head-on but luckily she was not injured as the car came to rest with the tank's track sitting right in front of her windshield. In comparison, as you know, here in the states we have varying speed limits depending on what state you are driving in and in what type of area it is. Did you know that Texas has the highest speed limits in the United States. Rural interstates have a speed limit of 85 miles per hour while urban interstates have a speed limit of 75 miles per hour. Other roads that are not residential are posted at 75 miles per hour as well. The worst was the round about in Paris and trying to enter and exit it. Scotland and Ireland were challenges as my wife and I stayed on country roads instead of the motorways. Sorry about the length but I had many experiences in Germany and in Europe. This year we are planning on driving up to Montana and then back down the spine of the Rockies before heading back home to Kentucky. .

I love the Autobahn! I learned to drive in Germany as a teenager (US Military dependent) in my parents Chevy station wagon in 1975. I have many Autobahn kilometers under my belt.

since owning an Audi myself It feels like being part of the high society of the left lane. The mutual respect between Mercedes, Audi and BMW is actually great, as long as you don't meet a**holes. slower people move over, faster people patiently wait their turn. I mean it's kinda like before but now at relaxing 200kph. Also, people more often just move over when I'm closing in. Drove a Golf before, was completely different. Wasn't really comfortable (or stable) on 180+. Best part driving around right now is having a plate from a completely different region whilst being a local and knowing every corner.

I appreciate how he keeps his eyes on the road during conversation!!!

I had my first European driving experience this past week in the outskirts of Rome. Car was a stick but I started driving in the 80s when that was more common in US and Canada. Hadn’t driven stick in 15 years but it was like riding a bike. VW T-Cross 1 liter turbo. Crazy narrow roads in places.

Being a German when I came home from a RV vacation from San Francisco via the Grand Canyon and all the way up to Seattle my brother picked me up at the airport in Hamburg I thought even before we reached the Autobahn A24:"Wow.... is a war going on here on the streets?" It was so relaxing over beyond the Rockies. For Feli: You should try driving in England. And while doing that try out one of those Magic Roundabouts...... its hilarious. When on a vacation on the island of Malta we had a car for a few days. The lady from our travel organisation who helped with everything around our stay told us: "People her on Malta drive on the left... or on the right... but anytime with a lot of feelings....." It was fun to drive there. Unfortunately that was back in 1991, when we were on Malta again in 2018 a lot has changed. Mostly much more residential areas and less free landscape, and a lot more traffic. Finally everytime I cross the border to Denmark on A7/E45 the moment I'm across I relax and everthing is calmer. This is especially astonishing since the cars around me are the same as before the border: everybody is on his way to his vacation spot in Scandinavia.

I learned to drive a car in Germany in 1952 and also drove at that time on the Autobahn. It was more pleasant than today, when I visit Germany. I still have my original German driver license. Greetings from Northwest Arkansas.

It's so nice to see Ben driving in another country and doing it really good. I like when he collaborates with you and he is willing to learn more german, to accept corrections and to improve his oral german and understand the german culture. It was so sweet from him to admit he was nervous, but he didn't want you to know so you both would enjoy this. Great video

This is the first time I realise that "right before left" is even easier to memorize in English than in German because they have the "right" of way. Makes it even more strange that this rule is not totally common in the US. The first time I drove in the UK I was a bit worried about driving on the left side but that turned out to be easy to get used to. What was much more confusing was the distances and speed limits in miles instead of kilometers. Did anyone else notice the great editing of that video? Ben: "oh, I have someone behind me!" Feli: "little kid on a bike..." (it was actually the next scene, but that cut was gold!) 🚗... 🚴 Regarding American cars, that you can't drive in Germany: Too big and too unsafe. The skoda octavia kombi is 4.7 m long and 1.83 m wide. A Ford F150 (which is nit even big for US standards) is 5.9 m long and 2.03 m wide (2.46 m including mirrors). Many US cars are not admitted on European streets because of safety issues, for example a too big dead angle before the car or emission.

This was one of the "funnest" videos of you guys. It was like we were just hanging out with you for a half hour. Very entertaining! Gotta laugh about going 130 km/h because not long ago there was a news story about Indiana State Troopers nabbing a guy on I465 around Indianapolis going 130... MPH! 😳

I'm from Germany, but was made aware of your channel by a friend from the US. I really like your videos. They are well thought of and give a good insight into the differences between the US and Germany/Europe without generalizing. (OK, I now sound like a bot 🤖) Fun fact: In Germany we call our driver licenses rags. ("Der Lappen") Because, before the introduction of the plastic cards, they were made of paper that became soft and smooth the older it got. After a couple of years, it literally felt like a rag.

I was in Germany, for business, back in 1996. We drove on the Autobahn a few times. I was surprised at how quickly you adapt to the higher speed. We were cruising at 110 mph and after a short while it felt normal.

What a delightful video. The banter between Feli and Ben is priceless. The contrast between individual vehicle speeds would be stressful to me on the fast portions of the Autobahn. If you are a "car person", I can see the appeal of the Autobahn to those people.

I lived in Germany for 33 years so I got my license there and shortly after getting my license.. not even a week later I was driving in the US.. I've driven in many german and US cities but so far the worst driving experience I've had is on the QEW and the 401 in Canada... the traffic is insane and drivers are soooo unsafe its crazy. Now when I go to visit my family in Canada from NY I take the long way around and cross the border in Alexandria Bay or Cape Vincent and take the ferry over. It's a couple of hours longer but sooooo much more relaxed the trying to get through Toronto traffic.

Good to see you again Feli. Thanks for the video of the autobahn.

When my wife and I were stationed in Germany, I have to admit that our first time on the Autobahn was intimidating, but we got used to it pretty quickly. I've since told people that if you want to learn how to really drive, drive on the Autobahn, because it teaches you to be constantly aware of your surroundings......or else. Ha! We drove a Chrysler Grand Caravan in Germany, got her up to over 100 mph. Granted, we had to buy something to attach to the windshield wipers as, at times, they'd pop up from the windshield at high speeds. But she handled the Autobahn like a pro.

Well done Ben! Love that you drove responsibly and didn't force the speed. 130 km/h is plenty. I'm pro speed limit as well. Little side note, Feli: you can't tell 100 % where a car is from anymore as you don't have to register for a new license plate anymore when you move. So technically you can move from Hamburg to Munich and keep the HH license plate. I'm sorry I'm lecturing you - I'm German and I can't help it. ;-)

I believe Eisenhower got the idea for Interstate Highway system from Autobahn

I loved my autobahn trips last August. Had a little turbo 6 speed Hyundai A20 that has a sticker on the dash( Max 210km/hr) . I had it to about 180 -190 but it really loved to cruise at about 165. Loved those smooth German roads even off the autobahn. Luv the standard cars! I drove the same autobahn from Salzburg to Munich. I have also drove in France/Portugal and Spain, all of which have great roads. I think on 2 lane roads Portuguese drivers for sure are very fast, frequently got passed.

Lived in Germany for 3 years. Loved driving there. Also lived for 2 years in Naples, Italy and just about lost my mind driving there. They are crazy and after the first year, I quit driving there. My anxiety would not allow it! 😱

Haven't driven in Germany since before you were born. Drove from Munich to Budapest.

I remember when I was 18 year old, I had a 75 Camaro, the floorboards in the back seat were rusted out and you could see the pavement, me and 3 friends were driving on the expressway doing 90 Mph, and the steering wheel was shaking like crazy

If I ever manage to afford a trip over to Europe I for sure will plan things out where I wouldn't have to drive. Driving here in the US on the highway is crazy enough for me.

I live in America, but my sister and I are the only Americans in our English family. I've driven in England a few times, and honestly driving on the left (wrong) side of the road and going through roundabouts wasn't bad at all. The worst part was the narrow ass roads, lack of a shoulder, and giant hedges mere inches away from the mirrors. Driving a stick in my left hand took some getting used to too.

Not only Canadians know what a Zamboni is, the Dutch know too. Not due to (ice) hockey, but speed skating!!

I drove once in Ireland on the left side of the road. Besides the road all the car’s instruments were reversed too, which made driving a standard shift awkward. It was also the first time I learned about roundabouts! Fortunately I drove in the country side more than in the large cities, with little traffic. Love your vids, Feli!

The wife and I were in Germany in Sept 23. My first visit. We rented an Audi A3, very smooth. We loved the country and no issues driving mainly because of our GpS phone app. I really didn't feel comfortable going fast on the A bahn i remember seeing 90 mph a couple times but what i do remember was 98% percent of big trucks staying in the far right lane traveling about 50 mph it was awesome! It was like watching a convoy for hundreds of miles. I wish the UsA would make the trucks stay to the right.

I was just about to write what a Zamboni is but I'm a huge hockey fan from the US.

Loved the ausfahrt bit. As an American, I still snicker when I see those signs when traveling to Germany.

This was one of the most fun videos you've done. Loved it!

I'm from Denmark and have been driven on the Autobahn a few times. I love it. Not for the speed, but for the culture. I drove from Denmark to Bruxelles and back and entering Germany from either Holland or Denmark traffic just got easy. I did speeds of around 150-160 km per hour when I could. Never felt nervous or overwhelmed. It just works! :-)

I am going to start saying ausfahrt now everytime I talk about an exit while emphesysing on "fart". 😀

now i wanna see you both riding along with KZfaqr Misha Charoudin on the Nurburgring ..🤣 everything is a little bit different when you can full send something quick..🙂🙃🙂

I was stationed in Augsburg and my wife was stationed in Munich. We lived in Munich (Perlacher Forst) for 5 years. I had to drive the Autobahn daily to Augsburg (A8). As a service member, we had to take a day-long class on driving rules and pass a test on the street signs. A few lessons I still follow: Look at your speedometer when exiting the Autobahn. You need to make sure you slow down and can’t always judge how fast you’re going. Always “clear your rear.” Look in all mirrors before turning right or left. Always stay to the right on the highway unless you’re passing. I don’t understand why Americans can’t seem to follow this rule.

I drove on the Autobahn for the first time (also my first time in Germany) back in August 2023. As an American I was terrified at first but soon became more comfortable and generally stayed in the right lane. I did get brave and eventually got in the middle lane and hit 150 km/h. My best friend in the backseat was cheering me on but my husband next to me in the front seat was freaking out and yelling at me. We still laugh about it - great memories!!!

18:21 can confirm, lol. If people actually adhere to the speed limit they will have some Drängler behind them.

200 kph is about 125 mph for the conversion from the title. 130 kph as the recommended speed is 81 mph.

While stationed in the US Army in Germany, I had the pleasure of driving on the Autobahn. The only problem was my car was a 1956 VW and virtually EVERYTHING passed me.

Yeah, you should know. Here in The Netherlands we also use zambonis for our ice speed skating. Nice video by the way.

SPEED! SPEEEDDD!!! and the noise of the SPEEEDDD!!!! 🤣

Henry Ford was offered Volkswagen after WWII. He said no he wasn’t interested. Now VW is the largest automaker in the world.

Great video - love you both sharing your banter!

That was a fun video! I’ve enjoyed many of your videos, but this is my first comment. As a BMW fan, I’ve taken several trips to München over the last 30 years, and I love driving on the autobahn. Since Germany has much better driver training than the US and they are better at following rules, the driving environment is more predictable. I’ve said many times that “I feel safer on the autobahn at 200 km/h (125 mph) than on an Interstate at 70 mph. Fahren rechts makes SO much sense for safety and traffic flow. I love the digital signs to warn of a wet road or stau (traffic jam) ahead. The speed limit reduces from 130 km/h to 100 km/h to 70 km/h for a “soft landing” into traffic. Brilliant! I used to guide groups of Americans on road trips in Germany, so I wrote and shared a document titled “Driving in Deutschland” to prepare them before the trip. A video like this would have been very helpful then, and I’m sure it helps your fans now. Danke sehr!

On the other hand in the US, I wish more residential intersections were yield instead of stop signs like it is in Germany, much more efficient traffic flow😅

We we're on the autobahn for the first time whn i was five years old. I remember my mom screaming to my dad to slow down because the cops were on the side of the road. My dad shot back, "what are they going to do? Pull us over for speeding?"

I was in Germany 80-81. Stationed in Garmisch. Threw a rod in a Army sedan on the autobahn going to Augsburg. Speeds on the autobahn blew me away. Loved being in Bavaria

The Most difficult time I had drive in Europe was driving an American car in England because everything was on the wrong side of the road. after driving in England for several months I took a road trip to Germany and had to totally flip my driving thought process back to American driving which was nerve wracking.

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy once said that a wife/girlfriend has only two functions on a long car trip: Sleep and complain about the amount of air coming from the vent, 😜

The no speed limit vs. gun laws comparison was not it to me. 🙆🏼‍♂️ 5.7% of all roads in Germany belong to the Bundesautobahnnetz and of those about 30% do have a speed limit, so it’s not like you can drive how ever fast you want everywhere and then also people usually don’t go on random killing sprees with their cars, especially in schools.

I drove in Germany , Austria, and Switzerland and had no problems at all. It was fun!

I was in Kaiserslautern for 2 1/2 years.........had two cars and drove army sedans on the autobahn many times. I loved it.

So great that hospital costs are lower in Germany

I went 200 KMH in a car on the Autobahn, I was terrified.

Very entertaining! I'm a Brit and have been driving since 1968. During the 80's and 90's I spent time all over Europe, mostly for business, and got to drive in France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. All except once I rented a car locally, as I prefer that. Having driven a lot on the Motorways in the UK, once I got used to the car being left hand drive I found the Autobahn OK. The last time I was in Germany I had a 2 week gig in Amsterdam, and for the weekend I flew my girlfriend over from London, and rented a Mercedes from Avis. It was an S500, and we drove to Berlin and back. Lovely car and very easy to drive at speed. I've also driven in California, Nevada, Texas & Georgia. The biggest issue was dealing with different standards for road signs and speed limits. In all my time driving the only place I've been stopped for speeding was on I5 half way from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Admittedly I was doing 97 mph! Because of the more uniform regulations and signage, I prefer driving in Europe, though my favourite road is probably the Pacific Coast Highway in California. I've done that trip several times in both directions. A close second would be the road from Oban to Fort William on the West coast of Scotland.

Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful video with us. You are such a wonderful young couple. . I totally enjoy going for the ride with you. Looking forward to seeing your next video 😊

I'm glad Germans drive on the right side, and the driver is on the left. I don't know why some countries do things backwards. That's just weird!

LOLLLLL!!! "All the Canadians that watch your channel are going to be like 'You idiot!' " Canadian here, and uhh.... well, 🤦‍♂Doh!! Drove on the Autobahn once... I remember looking in the rear view once, and seeing a tiny speck on the horizon in the distance behind me. About three-and-a-half seconds later that "speck" was blowing past me at about 195 km/h. Scared the crap out of me!

I was in Germany for 5 years with the British army and drove all types of vehicles. Of course, we couldn't drive them all on the autobahn, but I drove cars, land rovers, and minibuses for many kilometres on the autobahn. Sometimes, when driving on leave in the UK, it got tricky, so I tried to have passengers whenever I could just to remind me. When I was I Germany, the cars that would zoom up behind flashing their lights were Porsches and NSU RO80. I guess you need to ask your dad about them.

24:38 Rudolf Caracciola went 432 km/h on a German Autobahn in 1938, so they probably knew this would come some day. (This record was only broken in 2017.)

Feli you definitely can talk
