person freaking out in the video really needs to shut the fuck up before they cause their own driver to get distracted and anxious
just unbelievably irritating
From the color of the signs you can see that this is not filmed in Germany. The signs on the German autobahn (the sort of highway without speedlimit), are blue; the one in the video is green.
Correct. Green signs are used all over Europe. Which usually has speed limits on the motorway in the 120 or 130km/h range, which means those bikers are criminally reckless.
Look at them, driving so fast. Racing to be the first to the organ donation center.
In Germany its quite common to call bikers organ donators.
I still prefer meat crayon
As a biker myself, this one hits hard
As a Canadian, I’ve always wondered how people km Germany are able to drive so fast. There was a point where I would drive 140km/h regularly, but that seems to be on the lower end in Germany? Are the highways in Germany straight enough where you can go 150+ easily? How do people deal with bends and such?

I would say most people go 120-140.
There are some who go only 100. Some go 160 or 180. Very few go even faster.
Funny thing: Teslas are on the lower end. You can hardly see them going above 120, and even less when it’s just a little bit uphill.
Yes, the highways are mostly straight enough, and the white lines are visible etc. Where there are dangerous sections, there are speed limits accordingly.
But you also have to look carefully: if you go much faster than 130 and the road isn’t good enough for whatever “much faster” is, then you are liable for the outcome.

This. If you crash while going 170km/h its really likely that the insurance won’t pay anything if the accident could have been prevented by going 130km/h
I wouldn’t say its on the lower end. We have the rightmost lane which is almost entirely occupied by trucks which are not allowed to drive faster than 90km/h. On roads with more than 2 lanes the left most is used for anything between 130-200 I’d say. If you are using that lane and see someone faster coming up behind you you get out of the way. If that’s not possible, well they’ll just have to brake won’t they.
The highways are mostly straight as well in germany so curves aren’t really an issue
Out of curiosity, have you had the issue of drivers using their phones on those roads? It’s a pretty big issue in the US at pretty much any speed, wonder if it affects y’all?
Most people I see are sensible though unfortunately I have a friend who will (briefly) use his phone even while driving about 180km/h. He’s also the only cop I personally know…
the left most is used for anything between 130-200
I love Germany
As a Canadian, I can tell you with certainty that you can do an average speed of 140km/h from Oshawa to Kingston without slowing down in the bends. I don’t know what your driving experiences are, but that’s not the metre-stick to use.
I cruise control at 120 most of the time. I hit 140-160 when passing. I’d feel like maybe 1/4 of the cars do pass me and maybe only 1 or 2 go faster than 160 all the time.
Germany has highways with no speed limits. Seems like the ones doing 200+ km/h are mostly tourists.
Check some speed clips on Y*uTube 😁
I’ve seen this on 295 in Florida
In german its legal though
Everything thing is legal in Florida
I don’t really know…
Having to be 21 to buy a beer, and nobody being allowed to drink in public, does kind of sound very extreme limitations to somebody living in Europe.
What they mean is that the people in Florida have a different understanding of the word “legal”.
When most people hear the word “illegal” they think “there will be consequences if I do that”. When Floridians hear the word “illegal” it translates to something between “rude” and “fun”.
So… i dont quite understand… can 16 year olds buy alcohol even though its illegal for them to? Would it just be considered ‘wrong’? Can you walk down the street with an unconcealed beer and not get fined even though its prohibited? Would it just be a weird thing to do?
As someone outside of Florida, I would say that they can’t.
A Floridian wouldn’t allow things like “laws” and “rules” from stopping their ten year old son from getting hammered on a Tuesday morning.
Problem is this country never seems to understand prohibition= growth in abuse
This is true but I don’t see how this is relevant for German highways.
Have a think.
