From Texas. I'm actually kinda surprised to hear how slow people are driving there. Our perspective is largely that the Autobahn is generally people driving closer to 160km/h.

We have roads here that are limited to 136km/h. So it's kinda surprising to find out that most Autobahn drivers aren't breaking that speed.

You just drive at how fast feels safe to you. On an empty Autobahn (or on workdays where traffic is usually faster because people driving at that time are more experienced) they do go 150-200 km/h. (90mph - 125mph) But not in the middle lane on a Sunday afternoon...

I personally feel comfortable up until about 150km/h

I've heard that Texas has some of the highest speed limits in the US as well don't you?

Our max is 85mph (~136kmph) in some areas. I think that's the highest in the US.

Well, it's the suggested sound barrier

You might have problems claiming accident incurance if you break it but must people go above it anyway

Apparently so because they'll definitely make good use of the time they gain by doing so. Definitely won't just end up wasteing it later on or before
