Re: Mercedes E63 S AMG Edition 1 (2018) - Short Review (incomplete)
Whoopsy:noone1:You have a much higher chance of getting hit in the US than Germany because you're often in the middle of nowhere in Germany, whereas even in the suburbs it's not uncommon to be surrounded by cars at all times. Do I think Germans are better drivers? Sure, but the traffic situation is nothing alike.
I personally do not think 200 kph on the Autobahn is safer than 70 mph in America. Most people on the Autobahn in Germany are not doing 200 kph anyway. Whenever I do, I'm constantly passing people and rarely being passed.
200 kph in Germany with American levels of traffic would not be safe at all IMO.
And as usual your posts are mostly wrong again. I am really seeing a trend.
In and around Stuttgart, Munich, and other big cities there are clogged highways too, but they are still much safer than any American ones. Drivers don't go weave in and out of their lanes constantly in Europe.
A lot of the German highways are restricted, mostly are 120lm/hr or 110km/hr. People do travel faster than that but not much, and they still obey the first rule of driving, stay right unless passing. No one is getting frustrated getting stuck behind someone driving slow on the passing lane. That's one of the major reason on American highways being unsafe.
200km/hr is a great cruising speed on the unrestricted section, one can make good time while driving leisurely.
Concur on all counts.
