And she drove like 10m behind the car ahead...while going 120🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I tried the nice way to ask why she would do this. Cos.. "hey, would you keep a distance. I don't need to know what that guy has in his trunk" would be very disturbing to any driver...I didn't need her angry. But I was just about to tell her to hold and let me drive... but I wasn't on the insurance to the car...
Me and my family were in the autobahn once going 180km/h which coming from Canada is insane. Someone past us from our left going so much faster than us we made a joke that if you put wings on that car it would start flying.
@@Sira_Kackavalj, its me with golf 4 😂 When I was in autobahn I was going about 180. Unfortunately, 1.4 cant go faster, but now I have Audi 2.0 170hp, thinking about 250km/h😅
Yes, when I bought my Seat Leon Cupra 4 2.8 liter V6 years ago, I took it to the German Autobahn to try out its top speed. I had it up to 230 km/h (roughly 144 mph), close to its listed top speed of 235 km/h (147 mph) but struggling to accelerate beyond this point, when a normal Mercedes sedan pulled up behind me with a blonde woman behind the wheel. She looked annoyed at my pedestrian speed and proceeded to accelerate past me at at least 255 km/h (160 mph) after I pulled into the middle lane.
And thats why you should respect the "Rechtsfahrgebot" (Rule that you have to use the right most lane if there is enough space for your car and you can maintain the safety distances).
if you wanna steal comments, at least steal correct ones there's only one autobahn and it's in germany. anywhere else is highways. and i'm 98% sure that other countries know that.
I will wear my helmet along with full body suit protection inside the car, just in case if I happen to be in Germany 🤣. In parts of Melbourne, people can sometimes drive at 60km/h 😅 and usually at 100 on the freeway
What came first? Trying to lower the standards so anyone, no matter how stupid, can drive safely only lets more of them on the road and makes bad driving more common.
@@RS-ls7mm But republicans always privatize driver education, so it's as incomplete (profitable, in other words) as possible. In the past, the public school system offered far better driver training to high school students.
@@PistonAvatarGuy What planet are you from? The drivers ed in school was far worse than the private companies. The school's drivers ed was useless, like most government agencies.
As a Canadian, experiencing the Autobahn was insane! We were going 170km in the middle lane (which is 70km faster than our legal highway speed here) and cars in the passing lane were still flying by us as if we were parked. Craziest part is that all of the drivers actually drove in the appropriate lanes based on their speed and would instantly move over to allow faster cars to pass. And not a single transport truck left the far right lane! Made me so sad coming back to our highways and daily gridlock 😂😂

@@NylleXd Luckies. I'm in fairly rural America and in the last ten to fifteen years, people have started driving way under the speed limits. Our highway limits around here are 55 to 60 mph [88.5139 kph to 96.5604] When I first got my license, I'd be going five mph over and people would be passing me all day long. Now its just slow people on the roads. Fifteen to twenty mph under, and nobody will pass the slow car. Dudes, my closest "city" is forty minutes away. I got things to dooooooo.
It's not madness at all. It's perfectly safe. Americans are too used to the arbitrarily low limits set so police can steal from them. It's not even serious until 120+ mph. All of your highways are perfectly safe at those speeds on good days (the Autobahn has dynamic limits with digital signs, depending on weather, construction, visibility, etc)
@@niallk9336i agree with you about the police and laws. People should be able to drive as fast as they are safely able to. But you severely underestimate the competence of our drivers if you think our highways are safe. People here drive like they have free health insurance
I watched a UA-cam channel to Aussie blokes from my country and they got stopped by police for looking like drug dealers since typical drugs dealers wear dark coloured hoodies and drive older Volkswagens in Germany
It's called RICHTGESCHWINDIGKEIT! Unless weather, road conditions, hazards, traffic or vehicle restrictions don't keep you from going the speed limit, then you must go the speed limit. If there's no limits then the rule goes for 130kph.
That kind of speed is just stupid to drive at. White people shit. Stupid white people shit. I'm half white so stfu. I'll rag on the other half if I want. Y'all been running around thinking your great grandmothers were Cherokee princesses.

My first trip in Germany and my cab was going 200+. I came from an asian county where 90 is the speed limit and going 120 is considered wayyy too fast and dangerous. I was so nervous i almost cried.
Here in France the max limit you’ll ever get on a highway is 140km/h, but the most common one is 130. Once my dad drove past 150 on a rainy day and I was scared for my life. I could take 200 but only if I fully trust the driver and their abilities, with good conditions and a good road infrastructure.
Same here.. I came from an asian country where the minimum speed for inner-city freeway is 60km/hr and maximum is 80km/hr And the minimum speed limit for inter-city freeways is 60km/hr and maximum is 100km/hr > 100km/hr is waayyyyy too dangerous..
There is no slow lane bro, only lanes to overtake other drivers from the left... you can drive 300 on the right lane if there is no one else driving on the right lane
the left lane is for multiuse 240 is normal there far right is enough space for accidents or for entering after a brake when lorries don't let you in again the two in the middle is gambling gute Fahrt ╮(＾▽＾)╭
No idea why you would do that? Since there is no discipline on American highways, so every single lane is occupied by dad-habit drivers that never learned, so you haven't got a single place to actually use the whole speedometer, unless it is on some godforsaken backward dirt road.
I remember traveling around Germany in a little VW Polo and had that thing pegged at 170kph, as fast as it could go. I got passed by work vans like I was standing still.
Same here. I was given Citroen, and the damn thing wouldn't go beyond 200. So, I had soccer moms in Volvo station wagons highbeaming me from behind to get off the left lane and let them pass.
I don't think so. Germany is not such a huge country that people need to drive at 200 kph speeds. 100-120 is fine at least in India. For longer distances trains or airplanes are good to go though we don't yet have high speed trains but are under construction.
@@thecomment9489 nah. after watching a bunch of videos about them, I think germans are just a bunch of impatient people, everything is so damn fast. watch how the cashiers in grocery stores (especially aldi) scan your stuff, they scan those shits like someone is pointing a gun to their head
So true 😂 Actually the other day I had my playlist on random and after some lame pop song the epic „Walkürenritt“ blasted out of my sound system and suddenly I realized my speed had dropped below 200 km/h for a couple of minutes. Wagner helped me to immediately correct this unacceptable mistake 😂
It's a bit different with mercedes. You get several engine options for the same car and the individual models are built over several years. And since they look the same, apart from the AMG version, you could be driving a 1,8 Liter engine and get overtaken by the exact same car model with a 3,2 Liter engine. And the 2021 and 2022 e-class for example are still the same car. You have the W213 e-class for example, it has been built from 2016 to 2023 and only the ones built from 2020 to 2023 are the facelift version and therefore look different than the ones built before.
As an Indian I can confirm that 80kmph is the highest we do on highways. On any other road, you will always have a vehicle 5m ahead of you that may suddenly halt. So even 40 is scary there. Even on highways, there is always stopped traffic. Even 80kmph can get you in trouble
Visited our daughter and son in law in Germany a couple of times. High speed on autobahn, yes, but you'd better slow down when the speed limit drops. Also, absolutely no hanging in the left lane. Pass and get back in the right lane immediately. Tractor trailers aren't allowed on the road on Sundays. They have to pay a special fee if they have something that has to be delivered that day. You don't see trash along the roads either.
Slow drivers on left lanes are the #1 cause of accidents in the netherlands. Theyll blame the one sticking right on their ass but everyone with a brain knows they shouldnt be on the left lane driving below speed limit.
In the 1990 s me and my father where crossing germany. we where making around 180 on the autobahn when we where overtaken by a big silver coulered premium mercedes. Just after it passed us it got a flat tier and lost control. It smashed into a center barrier many times. destroying both the front and back of the car as it was spinning around, but it never flipped over. never the less we where convinced we watched someone die. but we where wrong. The same second the mercedes come to a stanstill, in the most outer lane, the drivers door open and a elderly gentleman come out running against the traffic waving his arms. seconds later the passenger door open and a elderly lady come out with a triangel under her arm running after her husband. obviously they where concerned that other would hit their car and die. I learnt 2 things that day. Mercedes cars are great and german senior citizens are awsome. 🙂
They had several guardian angels that day and sheer luck. The triangel is called "Warn-Dreieck" (warning triangel). You put it down about 100 meters from an accident point, so other drivers will be warned that there was a crash/ an accident and they slow down, so no other person is involved, while someone is there doing first aid or waiting for their car to be towed.
My mother was going 220 with winter tyres (allowed 210km/h), I guess it was more, in her Mercedes. She felt something was wrong and switched to the breakdown lane. When she had a look around her car the right tyre was destroyed only the felly was left. Don't know why you lost control?
Nothing crazy about it, if everyone sticks to the rules and pays attention to his surroundings there is no problem but I can tell you there are still a lot of dicks around that will only hold 5 to 10 meters of distance to you following with 250 km/h just because they wanna go 5 km/h more... that's the real problem, people are egoistic and stupid..
I told my dad I drove the van 140 to 150. He sad damn thats fast. I sad no I was one of the slower ones😂. I even had big kombis passing me at 160 or 180. Just people in hurry with deliveries Ig.
Exactly like how my husband drives on the autobahn. There are signs in German that say don’t drive faster than the angels can fly, he can’t read them because he’s driving so damn fast
My sister flipped her car at 220 when someone crashed into the side from an on-ramp. I guess these angels are faster than 200 km/h because she didn't have a scratch.
It's funny to read the comments. I live in Germany and I drive a longer distance to work every day 200km/h is a very normal speed I use to drive there and home again. Without stress or recklessness. The Autobahn is totally made for that. Not comparable to almost any other road in other countries.
Exact! Especally the highways without limit in Germany are in very good condition (compared to other countries). If there are holes or other problems there would be a limit of 120 or 130 or maybe 100.
Und wenn Sie nicht gestorben sind....😂 Sorry aber entweder Sie sind stets nachts in Meckpomm unterwegs oder sie möchten uns hier einen Bären aufbinden.

Oh yes. I was driving on the Autobahn thinking I was making good progress at around 180 kmh. I was passed by Audis and BMWs going a lot faster than that, and Porsches overtaking the Audis and BMWs!

Yes, was doing 260 km/h with My Nissan 300zx TT and a couple of Porche's overtook with ease. I guess they had bypassed the speed limiter as they were newer models and were supposed to have a 250 km/h limit where the the restriction kicks in.
@@BenHanse der Transporter ist ne gute Entschuldigung. Hast du aber schonmal versucht unnötigen Ballast wie Beifahrer und Werkzeuge von Bord zu werfen? 180 ist doch bestimmt drin.
This reminds of my husband when I visited him in Virginia while stationed in Germany. We were chatting while I was driving in the slow lane on the interstate. I signaled, switched lanes and floored the accelerator as I approached 80 MPH and was planning on going faster until he yelled, What are you doing?!? We aren't in Germany!" 😮
That's just a Virginia thing. Perfectly normal to do that all day all over the Midwest and much of the south. Cops in Virginia must think you're going to start summoning demons if you use more than half the speedometer.

It matters a lot. Imagine someone doing like 170-180 pulls in front of you, you might crash but you can be lucky enough to keep control of your car, if you're not thrown out of your seat because of the crash that is
I crashed my BMW with about 200km/h on the Autobahn. After the car stopped, I opened the door and walked out. No problem. I am pretty sure it was good that I had a seatbelt on.
I took my RS7 up to 197mph - was starting to bottle it even though the car was fine, and then in my rear view mirror... a fecking Golf. They're everywhere!
I had some fun with that. I wasn't going that fast in the left lane but neither were the at least ten cars in front of me. A car came from behind as high speed, flashing for me to move over. As there was a free spot to my right, I did so, just in time for him to slam on the brakes to avoid crashing in the car that was before me. As soon as possible I moved back to the left lane and started flashing at him.

I’m from Houston Texas and the hardest part of my job is making it to the office alive. The Autobahn is really nice and I felt safe driving on it. People there are respectful despite no speed limit.
just give it the beans, go to around 130 and keep safety distance… then almost nothing can happen and when you got comfortable with that you can go to 150->180 until you trust the 210. Honestly Even in driving school i drove 180 on the autobahn and my driving teacher just told me „if we now crash were both dead“ Then after i accelerated a bit more he just said „its enough now“
Most (sane) people are not respectful despite no speed limit, but because of that. Being predictable where you are going at unlimited speeds by following the rules makes a safe travel for everyone. Of course there are everywhere those occasional a-holes that think the world revolves around them and thus endangering themselves but unfortunately also others. You cannot have it all I guess.
The german autobahn feels so safe because of the way we get our license we have around 16 hours of theory and 10 hours of driving lessons mandatory but most people have like 30 hours of driving lessons. Also the driving test has little room for errors.
@@fthis7764 Additionally the driver's license ist not given out like free candy, like in some US states, it cost you money, 2000-3000€ depending how long it takes. If you get caught braking the rules you might get penalty points, depending on how serious your offense is. When you collected 8 or more penalty points your license is gone. German drivers are keen to keep their licenses as they know it will cost them money and especially TIME to regain the license. If you are deemed to be an especially grave offender you might as well redo the whole license which costs you 2000€ and more again. Though admittedly Germany doesn't have the worst penalties compared to other countries, but getting back your license is not an easy undertaking, at the very least a huge inconvenience. The penalty point system is a deterrent for many people so they drive adequately.
In Germany you learn to drive. Passing a driving test is quite a challenge compared to other nations. In Germany we grow up with speed and safe car handling while paying attention to cyclists disobeying traffic rules and agricultural machinery and.. it’s the same as in US growing up with guns. I spend some time in Ireland and rented small cars. The clerk from Hertz said to me you must take the jaguar because the small ones I need for lads from Portugal, Mexico and US. A German driving license is like a Ph. D in driving.
@@AsterFox I'm not here to argue: I'm just in awe. You've never seen a cyclist disobey traffic laws? Really? Like, actually? I live in a small town in California and there are bikes regularly riding down the wrong side of the road. They don't stop for stop signs. Sometimes they don't stop for red lights either. Will cut off cars when they have a yielding merge. Etc. This is not every single cyclist, there are some that do obey traffic rules and safety laws, but I would say that that type of cyclist is maybe 1/3 of the bicycle riding population. Just genuinely curious as to where you live, that must have such safety-minded, mild-mannered cyclists.
@@AsterFox This is nonsense. We have around 1.5 to 2 million hunters per state that turn out into the woods every year. And what they don't tell you about the shooting statistics, is those numbers include shootings by police officers and law enforcement in the line of their duty. Not to mention all the millions of non hunting sportsmen that carry for self defense and recreation. If guns were a problem here, the whole world would know. 99% of everyone living in the cities will never hear a gunshot on any given day. Yet most of those people in the city are armed, easily half, in the US. It is people who are unsafe, not the guns.

Try Amsterdam with all cyclists and hasty taxi drivers. Paris is really shit to drive. Frankfurt can very well be done with a fresh Dutch drivers license. I did....(long ago). The Autobahn used to be frightning: local people driving in trance/stare.... I give way to some of them because I dont trust them at 2meters from my back....to brake in time.
I've driven all over Europe and in the US and I can hands down say that I've never had such a joyous experience as driving in Germany on the autobahn. The total discipline and respect for the fact that someone might wanna drive faster than you even if you drive 220.
Have you not been plagued by so called Mittelspurschleichern? People who hog the middle lane like their life depends on it while they could easily move right? Therefore forcing people who drive just a bit faster than 120km/h to overtake them taking all wind out of you going significantly faster
Exactly. I drive from North to South and I always look forward to german highways, it is a pleasure to drive there. It is really safe thanks to the quality of the road and drivers
If you are going fast, then you respect speed and if somebody can and wants to go faster, you let them. If you are a slug, then you either fear speed or you just don't care about time. In both cases you don't really understand why people are going fast and that you are getting in the way.

She looked annoyed at my pedestrian speed and proceeded to accelerate past me at at least 255 km/h (160 mph) after I pulled into the middle lane.

As a Canadian, experiencing the Autobahn was insane! We were going 170km in the middle lane (which is 70km faster than our legal highway speed here) and cars in the passing lane were still flying by us as if we were parked. Craziest part is that all of the drivers actually drove in the appropriate lanes based on their speed and would instantly move over to allow faster cars to pass. And not a single transport truck left the far right lane! Made me so sad coming back to our highways and daily gridlock 😂😂

German mentality as they drive their 2022 Mercedes “ I’m not letting that 2021 Mercedes overtake”.
It's a bit different with mercedes. You get several engine options for the same car and the individual models are built over several years. And since they look the same, apart from the AMG version, you could be driving a 1,8 Liter engine and get overtaken by the exact same car model with a 3,2 Liter engine. And the 2021 and 2022 e-class for example are still the same car. You have the W213 e-class for example, it has been built from 2016 to 2023 and only the ones built from 2020 to 2023 are the facelift version and therefore look different than the ones built before.

In the 1990 s me and my father where crossing germany. we where making around 180 on the autobahn when we where overtaken by a big silver coulered premium mercedes. Just after it passed us it got a flat tier and lost control. It smashed into a center barrier many times. destroying both the front and back of the car as it was spinning around, but it never flipped over. never the less we where convinced we watched someone die. but we where wrong. The same second the mercedes come to a stanstill, in the most outer lane, the drivers door open and a elderly gentleman come out running against the traffic waving his arms. seconds later the passenger door open and a elderly lady come out with a triangel under her arm running after her husband. obviously they where concerned that other would hit their car and die. I learnt 2 things that day. Mercedes cars are great and german senior citizens are awsome. 🙂
It is German nature to worry more about others than about oneself! That's why we Germans are slowly dying out!
They had several guardian angels that day and sheer luck.
The triangel is called "Warn-Dreieck" (warning triangel). You put it down about 100 meters from an accident point, so other drivers will be warned that there was a crash/ an accident and they slow down, so no other person is involved, while someone is there doing first aid or waiting for their car to be towed.

130mph is fast as heck, I've never done more than 100 or 110.
I drive 120 km on the TransCanada and the wife gets nervous. I drive 220 km on the Autobahn and she yawns and takes a nap. It is all in the design of the road.

Was a real convo i had with a friend.
I was FLABBERGASTED. I shit you not when i say i wrote my will there and then on my phone
It matters a lot. Imagine someone doing like 170-180 pulls in front of you, you might crash but you can be lucky enough to keep control of your car, if you're not thrown out of your seat because of the crash that is
You're phone will be broken lol
I crashed my BMW with about 200km/h on the Autobahn. After the car stopped, I opened the door and walked out. No problem. I am pretty sure it was good that I had a seatbelt on.
The courts in Germany only recognize a will written by hand or witnessed by a notary.
Your creativity knows no bounds.
"Dont drive faster than your guardian angel"
Germany : ok, no problem our guardian angels are trained by falcons and fighter pilots. 😊
No they are not. They are trained by Peter Falk.
If you do tho make sure you're faster than death too

The worst bit is when you are going light speed yet there is ALWAYS a German behind you flashing their headlights and honking for you to move over.
I had some fun with that. I wasn't going that fast in the left lane but neither were the at least ten cars in front of me. A car came from behind as high speed, flashing for me to move over. As there was a free spot to my right, I did so, just in time for him to slam on the brakes to avoid crashing in the car that was before me. As soon as possible I moved back to the left lane and started flashing at him.
Allways happen🤣
Bonus: at speeds >150, you don't hear anyone else honking... ;-)
even at 250km/h you have to follow the RECHTSFAHRGEBOT. 😏
@@ich6014 it’s funny, I had a stay in a Swiss hospital once and when being moved around the halls on a bed my nurse met another bed coming at a junction in the hallway, and I shit you not she said rechtsfahrgebot and kept going hahah

At this point you're a british guy playing a german guy, who's playing a british guy 😂
The first time I drove down the Autobahn in a civilian vehicle with a U.S. soldier, I'll never forget it. The guy was always chatting. While eating, while showering and sometimes even while sleeping.
But that day he was silent, staring stubbornly straight ahead and slightly green in the face.
Should have come with us into the alps to drive some pass streets then 😂
I worked for a Portuguese baker and at the time I had speech problems due to years of neglect, I could not really say anything at all, and he would just talk constantly like that all the time at work, selling bread, in the vehicle, in his sleep, etc. he never stopped and it was great for me to get used to speaking again. After a few years of working with him I have emotions / tone in the voice again and could speak full sentences and so on so yay.

That one combi: does 280kph
My BF and I were on his motorcycle on the autobahn and I felt the same way--we would turn to mist if we had an accident, no pain.
As a german autobahn driver I can confirm this 100%. But there is always someone faster lighthonking you from behind.
lighthonking = flashing
@@anterich3752no. Lighthonking = Lichthupe
And it's probably a BMW driver. 😂
H2busas don't light honk. Not only are we faster , we are more agile
yep :D move away.. for 210km/h I have to break.. xD
I’m from Houston Texas and the hardest part of my job is making it to the office alive. The Autobahn is really nice and I felt safe driving on it. People there are respectful despite no speed limit.
Gahaha
just give it the beans, go to around 130 and keep safety distance… then almost nothing can happen and when you got comfortable with that you can go to 150->180 until you trust the 210. Honestly Even in driving school i drove 180 on the autobahn and my driving teacher just told me „if we now crash were both dead“ Then after i accelerated a bit more he just said „its enough now“
Most (sane) people are not respectful despite no speed limit, but because of that. Being predictable where you are going at unlimited speeds by following the rules makes a safe travel for everyone. Of course there are everywhere those occasional a-holes that think the world revolves around them and thus endangering themselves but unfortunately also others. You cannot have it all I guess.
The german autobahn feels so safe because of the way we get our license we have around 16 hours of theory and 10 hours of driving lessons mandatory but most people have like 30 hours of driving lessons.
Also the driving test has little room for errors.
@@fthis7764 Additionally the driver's license ist not given out like free candy, like in some US states, it cost you money, 2000-3000€ depending how long it takes. If you get caught braking the rules you might get penalty points, depending on how serious your offense is. When you collected 8 or more penalty points your license is gone. German drivers are keen to keep their licenses as they know it will cost them money and especially TIME to regain the license. If you are deemed to be an especially grave offender you might as well redo the whole license which costs you 2000€ and more again. Though admittedly Germany doesn't have the worst penalties compared to other countries, but getting back your license is not an easy undertaking, at the very least a huge inconvenience. The penalty point system is a deterrent for many people so they drive adequately.
In Germany you learn to drive. Passing a driving test is quite a challenge compared to other nations. In Germany we grow up with speed and safe car handling while paying attention to cyclists disobeying traffic rules and agricultural machinery and.. it’s the same as in US growing up with guns. I spend some time in Ireland and rented small cars. The clerk from Hertz said to me you must take the jaguar because the small ones I need for lads from Portugal, Mexico and US. A German driving license is like a Ph. D in driving.
@@AsterFox I'm not here to argue: I'm just in awe. You've never seen a cyclist disobey traffic laws? Really? Like, actually? I live in a small town in California and there are bikes regularly riding down the wrong side of the road. They don't stop for stop signs. Sometimes they don't stop for red lights either. Will cut off cars when they have a yielding merge. Etc. This is not every single cyclist, there are some that do obey traffic rules and safety laws, but I would say that that type of cyclist is maybe 1/3 of the bicycle riding population. Just genuinely curious as to where you live, that must have such safety-minded, mild-mannered cyclists.
@@AsterFox This is nonsense. We have around 1.5 to 2 million hunters per state that turn out into the woods every year. And what they don't tell you about the shooting statistics, is those numbers include shootings by police officers and law enforcement in the line of their duty. Not to mention all the millions of non hunting sportsmen that carry for self defense and recreation. If guns were a problem here, the whole world would know. 99% of everyone living in the cities will never hear a gunshot on any given day. Yet most of those people in the city are armed, easily half, in the US. It is people who are unsafe, not the guns.
Germans don't generally tolerate incompetence, which is a good thing.
Come drive in a big city here in Sicily then we can talk 😂
We should be authorised to drive in F1 man...if you can manage to have your car without even a small damage after a few years you already developed very big reflexes 😂😂😂
Try Amsterdam with all cyclists and hasty taxi drivers. Paris is really shit to drive.
Frankfurt can very well be done with a fresh Dutch drivers license. I did....(long ago).
The Autobahn used to be frightning: local people driving in trance/stare.... I give way to some of them because I dont trust them at 2meters from my back....to brake in time.

As Jeremy Clarkson says, "Its not the speed that kills you, but the sudden stop!"
I’m very glad to be the 69th like , well said
I've driven all over Europe and in the US and I can hands down say that I've never had such a joyous experience as driving in Germany on the autobahn. The total discipline and respect for the fact that someone might wanna drive faster than you even if you drive 220.
Have you not been plagued by so called Mittelspurschleichern? People who hog the middle lane like their life depends on it while they could easily move right? Therefore forcing people who drive just a bit faster than 120km/h to overtake them taking all wind out of you going significantly faster
Exactly. I drive from North to South and I always look forward to german highways, it is a pleasure to drive there. It is really safe thanks to the quality of the road and drivers

If you are going fast, then you respect speed and if somebody can and wants to go faster, you let them.
If you are a slug, then you either fear speed or you just don't care about time. In both cases you don't really understand why people are going fast and that you are getting in the way.
