It doesnt matter what you call It left/right or fast/slow lane it means the same thing. And yeah the law is stay right unless passing.

You forgot to mention one important, if not the most important rule on the German Autobahn. It's called "Rechtsfahrgebot" which translates to something like "obligation to drive on the right lane". You have to drive on the rightmost lane and are only allowed to change to the left to overtake and have to return to the rightmost lane as soon as possible. You are not allowed to overtake on the right side. And always be extremely careful when changing lanes to the left. Use your mirrors and turn your head and expect cars to go 240 kph (150 mph) and above on the left lane as many German cars (even small hatchbacks) can easily reach that speed.

Far too many don't obey this rule. I call 'em amateurs. Plus, and a very important rule in a traffic jam: the "Rettungsgasse"! A "must", even on our "Landstraßen", since 1992. It has always been a "must" on the Autobahn, ever since: On a 2 lane street (one direction): right lane has to drive maximum right. Left lane has to drive maximum left. To create a free lane in between lanes for the helpers. On a 3 lane street (one direction): right lane has to drive maximum right. To allow the center lane to drive maximum right onto the white lines. Left lane has to drive maximum left, again. It makes me ashamed, always, how people don't obey this simple rule, every day. If someone would lie on the street, a 500 meters ahead, with a cut off leg: I bet this person would wish for the ambulance ASAP to arrive. And this could be everyone of us. Police cars in Hamburg have it written on the back of theirs cars, right now: "Stau? Rettungsgasse bilden!" "Traffic jam? Create a lane for the helpers!" Bitte, Leute! SOFORT und IMMER!

180 is normal... Even for family cars. Edit: The mad max road you're looking for is the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

I really did had to laugh quite hard when you said "that was scary fast" 😂😂 The limited speed of most bigger cars is 155mph or 250kmh, and most of the people who have those cars have already been there multiple times. From own experience I can tell you when the road is clear that isn't scary at all 🙈

10:00 if the limit is 50 km/h and the white sign with the 50 in it comes, there is no more speed limit. (eaven though there was 80 km/h before) the white sign canceles all limits that came before. 👍

My rules for the german autobahn: 1) Don't ever pass cars on the right side. Pass on the left side. Then go over right again. Always drive as far right as possible / practical and left as necessary. 2) Pay attention to speed limits. Don't speed through constuction sites. More than 20 kph over the limit will be expensive and treated more seriously by the police. 3) Always hold your distance. Be prepared for hard braking all the time. There might be a traffic jam ahead or some guy cut another off when changing lanes. 4) Talking of which, when changing lanes, always try to match speed of the lane you're changing onto before or while changing lanes. Watch your mirrors before changing lanes. Vehicles on the left side might be a lot faster than you. Always try to find gaps large enough for you to accellerate into so you don't force people to brake (much). 5) Be attentional all the time. Go with the flow. Try to anticipate other people's manouvers and mistakes. For instance, if there is someone driving on the right lane with 100-120 kph and is close behind a truck, there is a good chance he will not brake but suddenly change lanes and cut you off (I'm looking at you, Belgians!). If you're not prepared to brake immediately you're going to have a hard time braking behind them even if you are going "just" like 140-170 kph. 6) Be confident, relax and have a nice ride on the Autobahn!

I think Walloons can drive alright, its just the Flemish that let the rest down.

Two things: People usually use the flashing lights when the traffic comes to a near or complete standstill, not necessarily when there's a speed limit coming, although that would make sense as well. A lot of bad accidents acutally happen at the end of a traffic jam when cars come chasing right into a standing car. Another thing: That white sign with the black slashes actually means that ALL previous signs are cancelled out, not only the speed limit. If the white sign with the slashes has a specific picture (a speed limit, no overtaking, priority signs etc.) on it, then ONLY that sign is cancelled out, while all the other signs are still active. Apart from these small things, you were spot on on the autobahn regulations. Really impressive!

So if you're driving on the autobahn 120 > 100 > 80 > dashes => no speed limit On rural roads 80 > 70 > dashes => 100kph {but this case is a little more complicated, since there are some cases we're there is also no speed limit} On urban roads => 30 > dashes => 50kph. Then there's is the exception with zones. If you are inside a 30kph-zone and you're going into a 20kph-zone or a traffic-calming-zone. When leaving that zone you're back in the 30kph-zone and can not go up to the default speed limit.

Been visiting my grandma, mom by my side, been driving 220 km/h, mom said "Cmon, you can drive fast!"

The comments make it seem like most people on the Autobahn drive super fast, but my experience is that the majority of cars still goes maybe between 120 and 140 km/h as a comfortable traveling speed even when there’s not much traffic. Sure there are always cars going much faster than that, but it isn‘t everybody. :)

Ceilidh McPhee, speed limits are very straightforward in Germany, though. At least with normal cars not carrying trailers. Either 50 (built up areas), or 100, or no speed limit (advisory limit 130). The latter applies on any road outside of built up areas with at least two lanes in each direction or divided carriageways. ("or", not "and". Two marked lanes each way on an undivided highway is enough. Although you will, in practice, rarely ever see such a road without an explicit limit posted) So, a dual carriageway will have its limit posted. If it's not fully Autobahn standard (sharper curves, narrower lanes, no hard shoulder or whatever), it may be 120, or 100, or less. But if you see the "end of limit" sign, it's the 130 km/h advisory limit only. Even if the road is not designated as an Autobahn.

@ClaGaCla

Exactly. Basically, the round white sign with the diagonal black slashes cancels all other round signs. And it cancels any such signs that were in effect, not just the most recent one. So, in the situation described in the video, where there was a speed limit of 80kph, then a speed limit of 50kph for a sharper curve, and then the speed limit was cancelled, the speed limit would then NOT go back to 80kph. I'm guessing this was on a Landstraße or Bundesstraße (meaning a non-Autobahn street outside of city limits). There the default (and mostly unstated) speed limit is 100kph. So after the 50kph speed limit was cancelled, the speed limit would then be 100kph.

My mom and I went on an outstanding German, Swiss, Italian, and Austrian grand tour road trip 6 months before her passing. Our rental car was a Mercedes E class. That car’s world renowned German engineering in combination with the well maintained impeccably smooth Autobahn system created an alarmingly high cruise speed! I found myself comfortably driving near 180 kmh towards the end of our time in Germany. I found it so funny to be going 180 kmh (111 mph) and have a Volvo SUV fly by me in the left lane! Top speed was 209 kmh. I miss that trip, and I miss my mom even more. I’m so grateful I was able to have that time with her and create memories that I will remember forever.

We're from Australia and we had the same impression of what an Autobarn was as you guys. We thought you could just drive at whatever speed you wanted the whole way through. Interesting that that's not the case. Also good to know about those unique road signs. Great overview of the Autobarn experience 😀

I've done 220 on the autobahn, but it's not really a comfortable speed to be cruizing at. It's really exhausting and you also have to monitor traffic even more and anticipate that ever car you'll pass might go to the left. Can't expect people to 100% sure having seen you. I'll usually cruize around 150-160 kph which is fast enough there imho. Nice PS: Advisory speed is 130kph but if you go above it and have an accident. Police might decide both parties are liable for the accident.

220 can be quiet ok, It depends on the car. With my Polo, anything over 140 is stressing.

The Advisory Speed Limitation actually does play a role, if you were involved in an accident, where the speed is the major cause. Then, even if you are not to blame when it comes to abiding to any other traffic rules, your car insurance can actually assign a partial guilt to you. So it is not only a mere recommendation. And two more things: One: The blue signs with white numbers don't mean that you actually have to drive above that speed. It means that your vehicle must be able to at least reach or exeed the indicated speed. Of course you are allowed and even obliged to go slower, when the traffic situation (like bad weather or traffic jams) calls for it. These signs usually come into play, when for example there is an uphill slope and if you drive a truck or a small car with a weak engine, then the lefthand lane may be blocked for you in order to keep the traffic flowing for faster vehicles. and two: The white sign with the diagonal slashes cancels out all previous limitations. Not only speed limitations, but also restrictions on overtaking and such. If you see a sign with slashed out numbers, that would cancel the speed limit only, and leave other restrictions intact.

the Thing is, that only 30% of the German Autobahn is acctually unlimited. the Rest is also limited by 120 km/h or lower just in every other country

It depends on a few things, including the car. With a Mercedes or BMW with a long wheelbase, 210 km/h is still a very comfortable driving speed. In lesser cars steering vibrations, poor suspension and noise make that speed less safe and enjoyable. In such cars even 150 km/h can feel difficult to control. I'm not German, but after having been on the autobahn it's obvious why German cars have such stellar reputations.

Normally do 170kph on autobahn, and people fly past me like I'm stationary.

I am from Germany and it is funny to me to watching you driving 170😂💛💚

A few days ago i was test driving the new car im planing on buying so of course i let it rip to 250+. But usually the best advice would always be driving at the advertised speed and then work your way up if you want to. With time driving and learning how your car behaves the "speed" comes naturally and you can go as fast as your car allows if you want to. But you two where doing it the right way i feel like. Many ppl come to Germany to drive on the Autobahn without having an idea how to handle a car at that speed for a long time, get into crashes and not just endanger their but everyone elses life. So im not a big fan of that but you where doing it the right way i feel like. Dipping the toes in the "water" without going overboard with it when you're not comfortable with it :). The whole driving license thing: Yeah its really expensive and takes a long long time with mandatory driving hours and theoretical tests. One thing that is always important is the Autobahn test. Where your driving instructor lets you drive on the autobahn. For the longest time you only get to drive at 130km/h just to get you used to the basic speed. Then, if the autobahn allows it (speedlimit restriction lifted) and the driving instructor feels you are comfortable with it, he lets you go faster. Again just to make you used to the speed and help you to understand the responsibility and rules that have to apply at that speed. Driving for around 15 years now and didnt have any big accidents until now (knocking on wood). But its always a good idea to get used to the enviroment you drive in, for example i would never in a million years go to italy (rom is notorious for it) and drive in the city like i drive in an environment i know. Anyways, great video and so long :)

The thing you‘re mentioning at 10:00 - actually after the „50 km/h cancelling sign“ you are able to go up to a 100km/h Otherwise the 80 km/h sign has to be shown again. :-)

Hi, I like that you actually showing more of Germany than only Berlin and Munich - as most other do. On the German Autobahn it is like this, if you do not see a speed limit sign the speed limit is open and you can drive as fast as you want. A good high speed that can be maintained for a few hours is around 130 to 150 km per hour. Usually there is a quite moving commanded, drive on the right side. But usually the most of the people drive in the middle lane. The fastest I ever went was 240 km per hour, but this is really scary and take a lot of concentration.

Also the cars need to 'feel' comfortable at those speeds, no weaving about, no weird sounds, they need to be planted on the road. Also, the hazards being used for a sudden slow down is kind of an unspoken rule in Europe. We all use them when we are driving at speed and see roadwork or traffic ahead, in order to alert the drivers behind of the threat. It is some sort of camaraderie and is it taught in Driving School.

Part of driving on the autobahn is also the ability to estimate how much faster the car behind you can get. If you are driving in a small entry level car or a family car and you see something like a Mercedes C class in your rear mirror, you automatically move to the right and let them pass, because that car propably have over 100 horse power more than yours, maybe even 200 or 300 more. As soon as I saw that white mercedes I knew there is no way you could keep up with it acceleration. And also the German highway is two or three times thicker than the US highway. Completely different quality standards.

If there is no restriction and the Autobahn is not very crowded I try to maintain 180km/h.

180km/h is also my preferred travel speed. But when I feel like it I will push the car to it's limit (depending on the car, my fastest was 278km/h with an Audi TT)

The fastest i ever was was ~210. But i think considering the car is a Skoda Rapid with 88hp, that's not too bad. Usually travel speed with that car is ~140-150, at times 160, i usually don't go faster than 180. But that's mainly because over that you can really feel that the car is an economy-box, not ment fot those speeds.

Best part is at 7:10 , where he talks about catching that white Mercedes ... and then you see that babyblue BMW in their back, changing lanes, and zooom a blue bolt is overtaking :D

The white sign with the black lines across, which cancels the previous speed limit. That is very similar to the UK National speed limit sign, but ours is a solid black bar instead of a group of lines.

Usually i Go 210km/h. Cause my Car is Not faster 😂😂

210 km/h is a lot, a friend of mine has a Jaguar (don't remember the model, but it's the SUV), but he's never passed 130 km/h I think.

On the Autobahn you normally get the white crossed out sign without a number, which is "Ende aller Streckenverbote" (End of all route restrictions). It cancels out any speed restrictions as well as overtaking restrictions for trucks, for example. The white sign with the crossed out number is "Ende der Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung" (End of speed restriction"), which only cancels out a previous speed restriction, but no other restrictions. If you see those signs outside of the Autobahn, there are still the Germany-wide speed restrictions (in town: 50 km/h, out of town: 100 km/h). But on the Autobahn, you can then go as fast as you want. Getting a drivers license is quite extensive AND expensive in Germany... but on the plus side, drivers tend to be quite competent and use proper road etiquette (there's always a couple idiots, but i mean in general).

Yes, thats why she was wrong at10:00. If you drive through a 80 then a 50 and then see the sign with the crossing line, you are actually allowed to drive the maximum speed of that street. So on the Auobahn it would be as fast as you want.

@Evolixe

If you see the sign with the crossing lines and a number in it, you are still restricted to 130. The maximum speed of the autobahn is 130kmh. You're only completely unrestricted if you see the crossing lines without a number in it.

@Mike500

Evo lixe: That is incorrect. There is no general speed restriction on the Autobahn. The 130 km/h are "empfohlene Richtgeschwindigkeit" (recommended speed). If you go beyond that speed, as long as the conditions allow it, you're not breaking any law. Only if there's a specific sign (red circle with 130 in it), then you have a real 130 km/h speed restriction for that section.

Evo lixe You cant find any sign in Germany with the number 130 on it :-) 130km/h is only a reference, but you can drive as fast as you want.

when there're no restrictions on the autobahn, i usually drive about 150 km/h cause i do want to keep it down a bit for the environment and cause fuel prices are rather high here in germany

Good Video! You unterstood the most important points :). But 175 km/h is for many Germans really only a relaxing traveling speed.

Nice Vlog. Another rule on the Autobahn would be to always drive on the right most lane when possible, so when there are three lanes do not drive on the middle one, if the right one is free. The white cancellation actually means all restriction is canceled and the normal rule is valid, you don't have to remember if there was a limit before, there would be a limit sign immediately without the cancellation. Also on overland streets there is a general limit of 100 km/h, so when there is a cancellation sign it means the general rule of 100 is valid. Depending on the traffic i would drive 150 (when no limit given) or sometimes also 220, it really depends on traffic.

Oh, and for the driving license (mine is quite a time ago, but i guess it hasn't change that much) you have to do lessons in the city, special lessons on the Autobahn, special lessons on overland, special lessons at night ...

I've been living and working in Germany for 6 months now. First time when i came from Lithuania (Where the speed limit is 130) It was crazy how majority of people, even the smaller cars, were going like 180 no worries. Now i get up to 200-210 cruising speed and feel safer than going 130, because you're with the general flow of traffic. The other thing about the warning lights, when you're going 200+ you don't see every sign, sometimes even if there's multiple of them, so other people warn faster drivers. In general german drivers are so nice to each other and the etiquette of the road is so high you rarely see a crash or bad manners (waving hands, honking, shouting) really high standards.

I too as an American have taken classes on how to go over a certain speed. For me it's been the school of hard knocks, no cops, no stops, and pedal drops.

If there is a number in the white sign with slashes this means that only the speed limit get's away, but other rules like you're not allowed to drive past someone etc. will stay for this area
