Thumbs down Two weeks on the Autobahn a year ago...

...changed my thinking totally...



Drove a rented Audi A6 turbo Diesel (above) from 130-160 mph every day, safely, and legally, with great roads, excellent day and night signage, buttercream surface on the Autobahn, courteous and safe drivers always, NO texting, eating or drinking EVER observed, turn signals always used, left lane for passing ONLY.

Perfect.


As opposed to the USA, what a mess. Distracted, drunk, careless, road rage drivers, ill maintained clapped out junkers everywhere, left lane bandits, big trucks out of the slow lanes, lane changers don't often signal, patched and potholed roads and highways all over the place, poorly lit and signed roads everywhere...

It is terrible. Can't wait to go back and rack up more miles on the Deutsche Schnellstraße......
