You will see vehicles travelling at high speed in unrestricted autobahn sections but as a general rule, the good standards of observation and lane-discipline maintained by German motorists makes it all feel far safer than you would imagine. Driving on the autobahn might be a daunting prospect for those unfamiliar with it, but anyone used to driving on UK roads may well be pleasantly surprised by the general standard of driving they encounter. This helps to set the standards expected of motorists in the country at a very high level.
German driving licences are among the most difficult and expensive driving certifications to obtain in the world.
