The Autobahn is simply Germany’s interstate.  The speed limits are all advisory, except as occasionally otherwise posted. Jess and I both drive. It isn’t as intimidating as people think.  While there were some drivers going very fast, the idea is that you just get out of the way of the faster drivers. Most of these roads where we are driving are 2 lanes each direction. You stay in the right lane unless you come upon someone going slower than you want to go, and then you pass. You do need to look for cars coming from behind in the left lane before you pull out, especially with a slow-accelerating car like the one we have. When there is more traffic, you may stay in the left lane more, unless you see someone coming up on you, and then you get out of their way. People are very good about letting other cars in, both from the right and from the left, and seemed to be aware of the cars around them. Even in downtown traffic and in tight streets, traffic seemed to work pretty smoothly.
