Yeah but then what's the point of visiting Germany as a tourist slash petrolhead?

Jokes aside, I'm of the opinion that existing freedoms are generally best left alone. Besides, Germany has a lower rate than Estonia and we have much lower speed limits. 120 on newly built separated highways in the summer (actually these might have 120 with good conditions in winter too - they have digital signage), 110 on old separated highways and in October or so, they go and collect all the 110 signs and replace them with 100... And up to 90 everywhere else.

There's a good chance the limitless autobahn is actually part of what makes German numbers so good. It just requires stricter training and policing, stricter TÜV and for people to always check their mirrors before switching lanes. And just good lane discipline in general. You don't get that in a lot of Europe. People switch lanes whenever because they're going 10 over the speed limit and can't possibly imagine someone else is going faster than them, potentially very close behind, in the other lane.

PS: traffic fun fact: Did you know that in Latvia, a two lane undivided highway has up to four active lanes? There's the law abiding citizen lanes (known as shoulders in the west) and the BMW/Audi lanes in the middle, marked by the white lines.
