What does the signs say? "No Limit" in german?
Also how often are they spaced?
And can you trust google maps complete? (and what does it say there?)
Sorry lots of questions, I really have no plan of driving like a mad man, but if the conditions, dry, high visiblity, good car spacing, good road, then I see no reason not to drive faster.
This is the sign, hard to miss:
Usually I only see them at the beginning of no limit sections. Google is more often wrong than the dashboard info in my car that is reading the signs.
And sorry if I misread you, but based your questions you seem quite anxious about the autobahn. Maybe this is just your general careful personality, or maybe you’re young and not an experienced driver already. Regardless, I urge you to be careful about very high speeds, it is really a very different world and can be dangerous. You need to pay an insane amount of attention and react very quickly and confidently to the intentions and actions other cars.
Again, sorry if I misread you based on your comments, but if you don’t feel confident enough yet, try getting some more driving experience at regular highway speeds, maybe even test yourself on a closed racing track, or do some driving training.
Oh no, no need to apologise for looking out for your fellow man (person, etc.) :) I appreciate that.
I do have experience driving motorway here at home, but those are mostly 2x2 lanes. I also have taken a couple of trips to Germany and driven the Autobahn and that worked well.
It's just this summer we're going way south, so we'll be driving many hours, so 150 could save us time at the end. Also the car I'm driving is much nicer. Though I dont like driving past 160, so its very unlikely I'll do that.
So I want to be able to identify where there's no speed limits so I can go 150 or whatever fits the conditions. Otherwise I'll adhere to the speed limits.
