- Was driving through Germany on the Autobahn for the first time so after driving several km unlimited I thought it would be cool to capture the experience in video.
I pulled over, set the cam and headed out again hoping to get a log at vmax and...
...2mins after it became limited again :D
You can listen my opinion about it on the video - oh, well...
There is another unprocessed yet video but no logs on that one cause I needed the phone to handle the navigation.
Car:
Saab 9-3 Aero SC -- 2.8V6 T, everything stock (250BHP)
Video/Data capture:
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 (Video and audio)
Samsung Galaxy S2 (GPS and OBDII using ALapRecorder application)
OBDlink MX (OBD data)
ALapRecorder HD for generating overlay graphs

223km/h top speed
After overtaking: right lane, please! There are a lot of German who drive 250.
+Xipo86 not in germany
You have to drive on the right side if youre able to, unless youre in a town this rule doesnt apply there
+Xipo86 And THAT is just wrong.
+Xipo86
No you can't. Going 130 on one of the middle or even the left lane is OFFENSIVE!
Exceptions are heavy traffic, bad weather conditions or whatever actually forces you to go that slow.
+Xipo86 No you can't. Lane hogging is illegal in this country. And if you get caught you will be fined.
+Xipo86 You can not drive where ever u want people like u making my brain hurt.
To all the people out there that don't know (Let the German explain it to the world :)
It's wrong to say that there is no speed limit on the German Autobahn. And I'm not talking about the many sections with a clearly marked speed limit. It's because even when there is no general speed limit on some parts of the Autobahn that doesn't mean that there is no speed limit at all.
You are always by law supposed to adjust the speed to the situation on the road (traffic, weather, run of the curve etc.). And there is an official recommended speed limit (Autobahnrichtgeschwindigkeit) of 130 km/h ( about 82 mph)
That's because traffic rule number 1 says you officially are not allowed to endanger traffic safety. That means e.g. if you go speeding on a rainy day and then cause an accident because you lose control of the car, or even just cant reduce the speed and crash into a car ahead (you are always considered guilty if you crash into the car ahead since you are supposed to maintain a safe distance to the car ahead), you will be sentenced (fine or jail time).
The Autobahn was designed for safely speeding at 80 - 90 mph and sometimes a bit more with not too much traffic. That requires disciplined, focused and rather considerate drivers.
And that's the problem.
cynust100. Well said. Interstate highways in the US (and Canada) are likewise designed to support rural traffic at 130KmPH 80-90MPH, though safety lobbies have muscled lower limits. The less nanny state states have higher limits, while other states have 60mph (100k). Most of our states set it at 70mph and ignore anyone driving safely below 76 (120kmph).
My dad was a highway design engineer 1949 - 1990 and was a guest engineer in Germany also. He said both highways were built similarly from a practical standard. Drivers just evolved differently.
so siehts aus wär schön wenn das jeder kapieren würde.
I hate it when people think that the rule to drive in the right lane doesn't apply when they are driving fast, like e.g. 180 or 200+ km/h. It doesn't metter if your are driving fast and that there's maybe no-one behind you...
trident3b there are such big spaces in between the vehicle on the right lane here in the video that it wouldn't be weaving in and out, wouldn't have been dangerours moving over at after passing the van at 0:55; and even if you keep in the left lane for a longer period of time, there's still always that one idiot pulling out in front of you
trident3b Your understand it wrong. The "ermessen" in the Rule of "Rechtsfahrgebot" is not for the Situation of fast driving. You were only 220, i suspect your car is locked at 250. Some people drive 350+ on the Autobahn, you would possibly block them before you even noticed them.
You were 20 seconds in the left lane without overtaking. After 12 seconds you can get a fine about ~80€, more if you really blocked someone. (+1 Point for German drivers) Police is using civil cars with 200-300hp
trident3b Okay yes, the 350+ example is quite bad.. but the driver in the Video was definitely braking the Rechtsfahrgebot. No Diskussion about that, the Mittelspurmythos is only about 6-lane Autobahn. He wasnt so fast that it would have been dangerous to change lanes. Even at 300+ it wouldnt.
All Autobahn Police Cars can go 250, some up to 270. They use cameras in zivil cars. In my state NRW there are about 30 ProVida cars in use daily.
I dont have have my license for so long as you, but as an former paramedic the Autobahn was part of my workplace. So i knew a bit about it ;)
MaxiKingK usually I am with you : "rechts fahren"
At first Moment I thought the same, but then was glad to see he did, after passed the lorry. So all fine for me.
EnjoyFirefighting - International Emergency Response Videos I hate people who block me, with a slow car and think 250km/h is fast enough ! Specialy Audi and BMW driver are this kind of drivers ! This cars are limited to 250km/h and block the left lane !
going only 200kph and blocking the left lane... seriously?!
+horst696 yep, it is usually the problem. If you are rolling over the autobahn with your chevy cruze with 200kph and suddenly a mercedes with 250+kph appears then it is the mentioned problem. Even in the law it got clearly declared to take the right lane except during a overtaking, independent of your velocity!
that's what i thought either :)
He overtakes and them pulls back into the right hand lane...how is that blocking.
@@BruceCarbonLakeriver why mercedes and not audi?🤔🤔
@@aricanaj9995 just as an example you also can take a Beamer ^^
Not using the right lane and way to fast within the 120-section. Learn the rules and do not make the Autobahn a dangerous place.
1. er hat garnichts falsch gemacht.
2. bist du ein hellseher? man kann nicht schneller reagieren,
nur weil du möchtest ,dass andere nach deinem bestreben handeln sollen , muss das nicht geschehen.... ,
die klugen KÖPFE haben sich nämlich wohlbedacht das schild da 2 mal aufzustellen in 1 km entfernung weil ab da 130 gefahren werden muss!
oder kannst du aus 1 km ein 130 schild erkennen? ich glaube kaum.
DieZockerZone
- Wenn du nicht in der Lage bist, das vorgegebene Tempo ab dem Schild zu fahren, dann solltest du deinen Schein abgeben.
- Das Rechtsfahrgebot ist eines der Wichtigsten, nur mal so....
1. er bremmst , zwar langsam aber die strecke ist gut überschaubar undich sehe hier keine grösseren probleme
2. er hat keinen im nacken und darf auf der linken seite fahren , weil da eine auffahrt ist , weil keiner hinter ihm ist , weil er nicht sicher sein kann das die rechte spur frei ist...
bei 1:22 hat er klare sicht und zieht rechts rein ,
wo ist also dein problem?
woher weisst du das ich PKW führer bin?
DieZockerZone
- Ob er "jemanden im Nacken hat" spielt keine Rolle. Genauso wenig, dass da eine Auffahrt ist, oder dass relativ wenig los ist. Lies dir mal die StVO durch, Kumpel.
- Ich weiß nicht, ob du einen PKW fahren darfst. Es gibt zu deiner Information ganz viele verschiedene Führerscheine und die müssen PKWs nicht abdecken, kleiner Freund. Mit der Aussage hast du (sofern du überhaupt keinen Führerschein hast) sowieso komplett disqualifiziert mitzureden.
We need this in America! Unfortunately we have so many stupid drivers here that people would drive 60mhp and never get out of the way. They would also be too busy talking and texting on their phones....maybe we don't need this in America after all.
*****
Sooooooooo true. It's because we practically hand out licenses here. Most driving tests don't even require you to get on the highway. The only accidents I've ever been in during the 25 years I've been driving have been getting rear ended in traffic at a dead stop, which is now the reason I have a front and back dash cam. Integrity amongst driver's also seems to be a problem when you get into an accident. It's never their fault....even when they plow into the back of a car at 35 mph that is sitting at a red light because their cell phone was more important than paying attention to guiding a two ton missile.
They hand out licenses? At the test In Germany we have to drive perfect in a shift stick manual transmission, drive on the Autobahn and reach at least a speed of 130, drive through very tight streets parked full of cars, parallel park with only two correction attempts, Full brake at 30 and more
You would also break your car because of road conditions like potholes etc. Not a good idea.
Benzo Gross. Have you experienced massively potholed Interstate highways in the US. I haven't. I just drove back from Mobile, through Atlanta and on to North Georgia. The roadways looked just like this, except with a larger shoulder on the left side, better raised reflective marking and the right shoulder groved. They are forty five years old and well maintained. Even the scenery looked similar for most of the 400miles\644Km except we have a lot of pines on the hillsides.
On that stretch I drive 120KmPH as most do, but if I brought it up to 200+, the ride would be smooth.
Nice looking highway.
S Tho Habe you driven on a smooth driveway? This is autobahn. In the bay area, where Im from originally, only one highway is smooth like that with occasional bumps. all the other higjways / freeways are junk.
Did you see the speed limit at 1:41? You are supposed to be not faster than the limit when passing the sign.
You where at 207 kph, 77 more than allowed. If you where caught, that would cost you 600€ (and 3 months without a drivers licence, if you where German).
das mache ich auch des öfteren und lasse mich dann ausrollen. autotune:nobodygivesafuck
Obviously, since he slowed down.
How was he supposed to know in advance? Is he psychic?
I'm surprised you aren't medically confirmed brain dead with what you just typed.
nekocekoBiH Although there is no speed limit on the Autobahn, you are supposed to drive not faster than a speed which allows you to stop within the distance of your sight.
Technically, that 130-sign might as well be a stop sign. And he would have to stop at that sing, not just "slow down" a bit.
(Of course, there are no stop signs on the Autobahn.)
I can have that feeling every day, because I live in Germany.
That is freedom!
Please do not be jealous:)
Peter
wat? irgendwas mit Hitler ^^
That is one kind of freedom,but it is illusory within the current context in Germany. Love you guys,but the fact is,you do not have the freedom to talk openly and honestly about how Merkel has done serious damage to your country with regards to immigration and Islam. You can do 200KPH on your autobahn and meanwhile your beautiful native women are being gang raped,stabbed,molested and abused by 3rd world primitives.Anyone who dare mention it,is called a racist and Islamaphobe. Are they free to walk around Cologne on New Years eve without being sexually assaulted? Presumably you would agree yes? That have that right yes? That freedom that you mention,yes? Where were the German men,who should have protected their womenfolk? Where were the police? Freedom? Don't think so.
please learn the rules before you drive like that
+Jaco2k no one follows the rules that strictly, as long as you're not blocking someone or get seen/pulled over by police, you're fine
Seh das hier nicht so wild. Ja er hängt auf linken Spur, fährt aber auch über 200 und die Autobahn ist fast leer. So viele kommen nun wirklich nich mit 300 angeballert und die müssen auch damit rechnen, dass vor ihnen was Langsameres kommt. Außerdem passiert er eine Auffahrt, wo es eigentlich üblich ist, die rechte Spur zu räumen wenn möglich.
ja ich sehe da auch kein Problem. Gibt viele Leute die mit 130 auf der linken Spur kleben
Welcher Polizist soll dich auf einer leeren Autobahn denn rausziehen? Und glaubst du, dass selbst wenn sie es mitbekommen, sie sich bei der Verkehrslage wie sie in dem Video herrscht wirklich die Mühe machen einen rauszuziehen der mit über 200 Sachen auf der linken Spur fährt? Völlig absurd.
Bei dem Tempo halte ich es btw. für verkehrsgefährdender auf der rechten Spur zu kleben.
Du weißt doch selber ganz genau, dass längeres fahren auf der linken Seite, dazu noch bei dem hohen Tempo, so gut wie nie verfolgt wird. Hier einen Vergleich zum überfahren einer roten Ampel zu ziehen, ist lächerlich.
1:40 Only 130 km/h from here on. Those 60 km/h too much would have cost you a lot of money...
DimensiiioN mach erstmal dein Führerschein als ob man sobald das Schild auftaucht ne Vollbremsung machen soll. herr lass hirn regnen
Kalle Krüppel Habe ich das verlangt? Nach dem Schild lässt er sich aber auf jeden Fall zu viel Zeit, um die Geschwindigkeit zu erreichen.
DimensiiioN die Fahrbahn ist frei Kollege
Kalle Krüppel Ändert nichts am 130er Schild, Kollege.
DimensiiioN Schonmal was von Energie effizient Fahren gehört? Wohl kaum sie Armleuchter!
No speed limit does not mean that you have to go as fast as possible. Many germans are really relaxed right lane drivers even when they sit in fast cars and thats what I say is cool on the german Autobahn. A speed difference of about 70-80mph between two lanes is nowhere safe. So... stay cool and relaxed when the no limit sign shows up. A common German driver.
haha, I remember I was driving like that at 220kmph on the left lane thinking nobody will overtake me, when another car overtook me from right showing a middle finger. so embarrassing.
you drive to much left. there was several possibilities to move to the right.
The possibilities are endless...
so are the fines...
why should he move right, if then a car is in front of him with lets say 110 and this car wants to overtake the car thats in fron tof him that guy will look iuf the left lane is free (what it is) and start to overtake and this poor guy has to brake from 210 to 110 because he moved to the right lane for no reason. If youre driving so fast please stay on the left lane !
Wayne Reuter Im from Germany bro. I know what the Law says. But I also tell you from my experience. It makes no sense to change on the right lane with 200+ kmh. For reasons I described above.
you don't need to move to the right, unless there is someone faster behind you. just keep an eye on the rear view mirror.
0:24, last thing expected to see is an old GMC van :)
Just noticed you dropping that van at 0:25, nice! Great sound off that V6, subbed!
Drive on the right (Rechtsfahrgebot) . Typical Tourist
Can you please tell me how you were able to get the throttle position, rpm and road speed overlaid on the video? I've been looking for a way to do this for a while. Thanks!
Hi Peter. What do you have already? The application I use in Android (which the developer abandoned many years ago) can export the data with those layouts and with a blue background. Then it is just a matter of applying a chroma filter to the overlays and.... Job done ;)
***** I'm using an android also but my ride is a Ducati, so I'm not sure how it would be possible to get the throttle status and engine rpm. Do you know if this would be possible with a motorcycle?
Peter Paramonov hmmm... I use the OBD diagnostics port in the car. Is there a similar thing on your bike?
***** Yeah it seems Ducatis have diagnostic ports, I'm still looking up what kind mine has. So to get that info I would need to buy a diagnostic tool and it will record the data? I've never opened it up all the way and I'm curious to see how much throttle I'm using during fast acceleration. Thanks!
Deutschland halt Wuhuu !!
How many mph is 220 km/hr? Also, does anyone have like a "general speed" recommendation for each individual lane? Asking as a person in the US who may be staying in Germany soon.
Probably way too late already, but just in case anyone else wonders:
220 km/h = 137 mp/h
Typical speeds on a 3 lane Autobahn are:
Right lane => Trucks and very slow cars @ ~90 km/h (= 56 mp/h)
Middle lane => Typical everyday drivers @ ~130-160 km/h (= 80 - 100 mp/h)
Left lane => Overtaking lane @ 160 km/h - 300 km/h (= 100 - 185 mp/h)
* These speeds obviously only apply if there's not too much traffic.
Very important: Always drive on the rightmost lane. If the Autobahn is clear and even if you're doing 200 km/h (= 125 mp/h) or more, drive on the right lane as there may (and probably will be) others who want to overtake you.
Also very important: Only overtake on the left (i.e. go to middle lane to overtake right lane drivers and left lane to overtake middle lane drivers. Not having a speeding limit doesn't mean you can overtake people on the right. If someone doesn't give way, just use your flasher, if that persom has space he'll move to the right.
This may sound like a stupid question. I really don't give a shit, but anyways how many seconds of space are you supposed to give while driving on the autobahn in Germany? Here in California it's minimum 2 seconds space, but that's only when people are driving rationally. Typically it's 3 seconds. I'm assuming that answer is it depends.
Just to clear out any confusion:
The part from 0:50 to 1:25 is not actually "lane blocking".
You see, when he approached the little "hill" at 0:55 it would've been dangerous to just swap back in to the right lane since your vision is kinda blocked and there could be a slow car/truck.
It's also rainy weather so it would've been even more dangerous if said car/truck would've popped out on the right line.
Btw. if there is no car behind you going faster than you and you see a car/truck going slow on the right lane but is a few hundred meters infront of you you also just dont swap back in to the right lane.
What software did you use for the speed graphics??
Ronny Franke hi - it is in the description for the video, but unfortunately the developer abandoned it long time ago.
Nevertheless, it still kinda works ;)
If you have more questions, just ask and I try to answer.
btw, who do you think you endanger if you slam the brakes to slow down your car from 250 kph to 130 kph? the guy behind behind you who is doing 300 kph?
Why while you are passing a truck do you slow down from 215 to 195? What difference does it do?
Sebastião Bach The truck bends the air and that pushes you sideways. So slowing down was a very smart move for an unexperienced driver.
20 km/h???
Sebastião Bach 20 km/h make a huge difference in terms of danger, wind, etc.
And don't forget: He was driving a SUV and not a sportscar, so crosswinds have far more effect.
It's not so much....He felt fear, but if some accident had happened, 20 km/h wouldn't make difference
Pisst euch ma in den Kommentaren nich so an, kein normaler Mensch bremst sofort am Schild ab wenn die Bahn frei is !
+.:Berliner:. Aber genau dort stellt sich die Rennleitung gerne hin :D
+Thomas Lieb IST NICHT WAHR!!! nach´m Ortseingang müssen min. 50m liegen bevor die Blitzen/Lasern dürfen und auf der Autobahn sind es sogar 400m sowei ich weis!
denn stell dir vor du kommst mit 200 (oder mehr) an und du siehst das Schild erst recht spät (so 200-300m davor) dann müsstest du ne Vollbremsung hinlegen nur um die Geschwindigkeit einzuhalten! und das wäre für dich und alle anderen viel zu riskant! ;)
+Franklin Du müsstest eine Vollbremsung machen? Ja. Dein Pech wenn du nicht aufpasst und das Schild ''zu spät'' siehst. Ich versteh eure Logik nicht. Das ist kein Spaßbetrieb Auto fahren. Also gilt deine Regelung auch mit: Wenn ich ein Vorfahrt achten Schild übersehe, soll ich dann zurück fahren und es mir nochmal anschauen? - Nein ich fahr einfach in dem Glauben das ich Vorfahrt habe.... ! Heilige Scheiße wie dumm hier manche Deutschen sind. Ich wünsche ihr habt euren Führerschein nicht geschafft, euch will ich ja nicht auf der Straße begegnen.
+RaDeN Legends was bist du denn für ein Trottel!?! wenn du um ne Kurve kommst (jaa die gibts ab und zu auch auf Autobahnen) dann kann es schon mal vor kommen das man ein Schild erst recht spät sieht! so ca 200-300m und du Idiot würdest dann ne Vollbremsung hin legen, nur damit du nicht zu schnell bist? du bist doch nicht ganz sauber!
sicher bist du einer dieser Mittelspurschleicher die Alle anderen Ausbremsen und gefährden mit ihrer idiotischen Fahrweise!
Franklin 300m reichen völlig aus. Es geht nicht darum ob man es machen würde. MAN MÜSSTE ES MACHEN! Weil man DAFÜR unterschrieben hat. Als man seinen Führerschein austellte.
im german, driving without speedlimit is just cool if you can do it safe and when there is a need for it. in every other case its just stupid and a lot of people died this way
+Artemis Fowl Not significantly more people than in countries with stricter speed limits.I drive fast for fun. I like it. And ofc I do it safely. My most dangerous experience was at 160kmh, when some Audi TT thought he had to change 2 lanes from an autobahn entrance without checking his mirrors. I slowed down earlier, cause I suspected something like this, but against those mistakes, driving slowly doesnt save you a lot.
What kind and model car are you driving?
+MICHAEL DAVIS It is on the video description ;)
1:38 just hit the throttle... it isn´t like it is in the usa^^
but... i am not happy that tourists are driving that fast ;)
The problem with tourist going to Germany and driving high speed, is that they aren't used to it and act like newbies who just got their driving license and speed up and risk not only their own life, but others peoples lives too, with that kind of behavior :/
Nothing against driving fast (its really fun) but go to a parkour an train before. The ADAC has a fun parkour. Its like a playground for cars, haha
gtrigga r
Ye i dont like it too thet hear in germany the tourist drive fast the max. Is 130km h
Decelerating a vechicle by full breaking would increase the danger of losing traction enormously, especially on moist surfaces.
A situation, you probably would try to avoid at speeds beyond 200 kph.
Beside the fact, that it's highly inadvisible, to drive such speeds by moisture, he did the right thing after seeing the sign. Coast.
Actually you find a multitude of driver types on the Autobahn, many casual drivers just keep to the center and right lanes at medium speed. Then there are business drivers who cover large distances every week, who drive 200+ km/h but are extremely experienced and safe drivers. And, as in any country, you have the idiots who push to the limits but I think the Autobahn is best suited to accommodate such drivers because all other parameters are so predictable. That's the main point - no slow vehicles blocking the left lane, no erratic maneuvers.
You are absolutely right, you proceeded exactly correct. All this step on the brakes or police will fine you is nonsense. They don't put radar traps directly behind a speed limit sign, cause if they did we had hundreds of rear-end collision accidents on the Autobahn. At road works you have to be careful though, as they often put radar traps there. Drive max. 20 more than allowed and your fine won't be too high, about 30€, depends on the speed. More than 20+ will get you in trouble.
Well I drove last year on german highways (from french border to autrian border next to Muchen) and I found it to be a nightmare.
1. Highway surface was very poor and under renovation (it needed it) for about 1/4 of the trip withspeed limit at 60 or 80 kmh
2. Speed limits changed constantly from 60 - 80 kmhto no limit. Sometimes in less than 5 km you may change at least 5 times of speed limit
3. Driving in the "no limit zone" is not only frightening, it is just dangerous. I passed trucks with no one behind me at my confort speed (ca. 130 kmh) and in 10 sec. you have a car speeding like a formula 1 one behing you while you pass flashing its lights like crazy. It is not only a stress, it is rude; impolite and reckless.
4. There are almost not rest areas on german highways. You have top exit the high way to find gas and food...
Overall, I preferred driving in France, Austria and Slovaquia : it is much less dangerous and more "civilized".
YvesD91 If you had a lot of people flashing you, you probably did something wrong (not necessary illegal but not according to how locals act on the road). Either you hugged the left lane for to long (took to long to overtake a truck) or cut people of while going into the left lane or something else, there are a few assholes who flash no matter what, but they are not all that common. I think driving and interacting on the autobahn is very different from other highway networks, and so one needs time to get used to it.
+YvesD91 than you was driving on the A8 (i bet) and thats for sure a shitty Road! :(
but the Rest is not true, you have almost everywhere a Place to Rest or get Petrol!
Do u know That some Signs say that u only have to hold that Speed if the surface is wet?!
What you do in this video is ILLEGAL. I am German, I drive the Autobahn every day to work. Speed limit does exist folks!!!!! Why do so many people think there is no speed limit in Germany?! Just wrong!! Anyway, the speed limit is mostly 100km/h, sometimes 120km/h at the Autobahn. Really rare is 130km/h. But that's it. Anything above the speed limit (which is inscribed on a round sign with a red circle and the number in it) is AGAINST THE LAW. Drive carefully guys! And always remember: the rule of keeping to right side of the road. On the left lane one normally drives the allowed speed (and illegally much above) and on the right lane one drives when they cannot or do not want to drive the set speed limit (trucks, big vehicles, ... and anyone who respects the law and is not in a hurry or angry.. (in my opinion))
Did you even READ the description? :) It was unlimited when I pulled over to setup the camera, it became limited after, I slowed down - no drama.
It was 7:00AM on a straight section with nearly no traffic - you, and quite a few who have commented need to take a chill pill and relax a bit.
I saw my share of bad Autobahn driving while I was in Germany and I have my doubts they were all tourists...
***** I gotta admit it: I did not read the description. Now I did however^^ Yes, believe me, I drive "on" (?^^) the Autobahn almost every day and I definitely always see cars flashing by. It's -in my view- horrible that people do not respect the law. 130km/h is not "somewhat"! It is so fast already but people always have to drive faster and faster...so dangerous....
And not only on streets everything has to be faster. Everyone is in a hurry, etc. Technology e.g. always has to be a little quicker, e.g. the internet connection. Whatever ;)
Kieron Aladdin Da du deutsch bist, kann ich auch deutsch mit dir reden, und zwar ist es erlaubt so schnell zu fahren wie man will auf der Autobahn. Die von dir angesprochenen 130km/h ist lediglich die Richtgeschwindigkeit, jedoch kein Limit. Du darfst dennoch so schnell fahren wie du willst, es sei denn es wurde durch ein Schild verboten, was zwar auf vielen Strecken ist, jedoch auf den wenigsten. Das einzige Problem ist, dass wenn du die Richtgeschwindigkeit übertrittst, und du bist in einen Unfall verwickelt (egal ob schuldig oder nicht), bekommst du eine Mitschuld.
Also, so schnell fahren wie man will ist noch immer erlaubt, und das ist auch gut so.
Sorry, but this is nonsense! In Germany, there is NO regular speed limit on the Autobahn, but it exists an "Advisory speed limit" of 130 kph.
Und nochmal auf Deutsch:
Es gibt keine reguläre Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung auf deutschen Autobahnen, lediglich eine Richtgeschwindigkeit. Auf bestimmten Abschnitten gibt es ein Tempolimit, aber ansonsten kann man so schnell fahren, wie es das Auto hergibt.
Frage an dich, Kieron Aladdin: Warum schreibst du hier so einen offensichtlichen Unsinn rein??
ich check das video nicht ganz. was ist denn passiert...das der flucht?
+johannes1291 da stand ein schild mit ner 100kmh geschwindigkeits begrenzung
und da heizt er mit 150 MEILEN pro stunde weiter :)
touristen...
what part of the autobahn was that i cant find on google where the open speed limits are
I departed from Rostock, so... some km out of it and on the way down. I have no idea where I was.
Wrong way around. In principle no Autobahn (and not even only those) has a speed limit. It's just that it is limited in certain places (for various reasons, most often road construction/repair). So you would have to look for speed limited zones, not for zones with no limit.
What kind of gas type are u using?
Wiki Leaky at that point it was 98 octane, but later in the trip I tried 100, which is not available in Finland.
first time on the autobahn and then driving over 200 km/h?
Who tells you I am not used to drive fast?
+Jaco2k the title kind of implied it. even if you are, it is a difference between driving on a track and driving on a public road where you have to deal with the behavior of normal drivers. I often experience "autobahn tourists" driving too risky in some situations and too slowly in other situations. but there are alway exceptions of course ;)
+LuaniFFM I was at 200 kph too when I was taking driving lessons for my licence and drove for the first time on the autobahn
+Citiroller Me too. I thought I have to drive 130 km/h , but my teacher said to me : " Why do you drive so slowly? You can drive so fast as you can " and than I drove as fast as this car can get . I was like 210 or 220 km/h
+Citiroller me too :D My instructor read the newspaper next to me, while I was pushing to car to the limits hahah
don't hover the left lane.. and don't slow down for no apparent reason... you don't need to lift just because you are overtaking a truck.. if the truck driver makes a fault or have a failure like a blown tire or whatever... it doesn't matter if you are doing 210 or 140... if it happens at the wrong time..
just keep a steady pace.. indeed the police might even think you are drunk or so if you don't hold you speed but.. accelerate.. lift.. accerlerate.. lift..accelerate lift.. all the time...
what you describe is pretty much the legal situation in germany. if a road sign shows a speed limit of 120 kph, you need to slow down in time as you must not go any faster than 120 kph at the very moment you reach the sign. if you need to slam the brakes, that's your problem. that's why there is an advisory speed limit of 130 kph. you can go faster, but you bear the risks. if you are caught speeding, YOU can argue as much as you want. the cop/judge won't care.
Good driver!!! I think he watched his backmirror at 200kph. Staying on the left line was ok if there is someone slower on the right line.
But...the comments here are from german drivers and they are perfectionists on the highway.
The best "mainstream" drivers on this Planet.
And if i say that you can be sure its the truth, because i am from austria.
German to Austrian its like
USA to canadian. 😉😂
You HAVE TO slow down before speed limit, but of course, without endangering yourself or other vehicles. You have to drive so that you never have to break hard in non-dangerous situations. So you have to adapt your ride to road conditions and traffic, so IN ANY moment, you have to be able slow down to speed limit without dangerous hard braking, and that is the point. If you have to break hard, you´r breaking traffic rules, if you pass speed limit in higher speed, you´r breaking traffic rules.
i dint see a speed limit what time was it at
First one at 1:40 (130km/h and I started to slow down) and second one at 1:57
***** thanks they could do with larger speed limit. i struggled to see that
***** second one looks like it says 100 kph
how wide are the lanes ?????
why is throttle at 87% max?
Go back to the right lane instead of keeping left. People in Germany don’t like when foreigners stay in the left lane for extended periods of time. When I drove in Germany I was always told that the left lane is only for overtaking. Once you overtake, move back to the right so other people can overtake you and so you’re not rude.
You did not even break my speed record and I am just driving a MINI. :D (not meant offensive)
Did you even read the description? :)
Yes I did. So what, you did not break it. My statement is just based on a factual level.
Fleisch Haufen Ah, you just wanted to troll... :)
...carry on then - the stage is all yours :)
Fleisch Haufen kann ein mini wirklich so schnell fahren?
225 km/h sind in den Papieren gelistet. Unter guten Bedingungen schafft der kleine sogar knapp über 250.
Ehm, here in Germany we have to drive on the RIGHT lane whenever possible!
that´s why the police is only allowed to start 150-200 meters after such a sign with a speed control. So no speed limit means no speed limit! :D
where is the power of your 2.8 v6 turbo engine?
Trolling much? ;) anyway, the 2007 model was rated at 250bhp and 350nm torque. It is OK, but obviously nothing special. Later versions of the same engine were tuned to put out a lot more power. Even my own engine has now been tuned, which makes a substantial difference to acceleration and lower range power.
***** why trolling? it doesnt look like 250hp. My Bmw 3 Coupe with 170hp is faster
Congratulations then :)
No your BMW 3 series is not faster.... its not even fast.
Starting at Tankstop "Schönberger Land" going West to Lübeck on the A20. Nice. ;-)
Keep the right lane, at 210 km/h you were slow for the Autobahn.
It's pretty normal to have cars at 250-260 km/h on the fast lane, overtake, use your blinkers and keep the right lane unless you have a seriously fast car.
Technically there is a recommend speed limit of 130 kph on the autobahn, when there is no speed limit posted. If you chose to exceed it, you're at your own risk. Police can put up a speed trap almost where ever they want...
you were going 130 in a 70zone^^
Er kann froh sein, dass keine Bullen hinter ihm waren.
***** You can be glad. 50km/h over the speedlimit = some couple of Euros. And iff you cant pay the discipline, you go right in to jail.
PS: Only iff you are an alien.
Lasse 363
because he isnt german, as german bye bye driving licence xD
***** Stimmt. Aber trotzdem ist er noch deutlich zu schnell. Bei erreichen des Schildes hat er noch 204 km/h drauf, obwohl er da ab diesem Zeitpunkt nur 130 fahren dürfte.
Wenn da 130 steht, dann darf man auch nur 130 fahren. Muss er wissen, wie er auf das Tempo kommt.
Valoro85 Es ist von Bundesland zu Bundesland unterschiedlich. In Berlin wird schon nach 75 Metern geblitzt. An besonderen Stellen kann auch direkt nach dem Schild geblitzt werden. Aber passt schon. ;)
Sounds like the driver didn't like the speed limited zone much... XD
my dad got a 911 porsche and when we are in germany we do 240 average to 270 on longer clear strips, 200 is pretty normal
Is that a Saab your driving
hello. yes it is. all the car details are in the video description.
Hatte vor geraumer Zeit einen wirklich netten Besuch, von zwei wirklich hübschen Polizistinen. Bin mit dem Auto meiner Schwester (das auf sie zugelassen ist) von Frankfurt nach Berlin, irgendwo am Arsch der Welt, in Thüringen (WTF), gleich hinter einer Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung geblitzt worden (habs nichtmal mitbekommen). Da meine Schwester gerne Strafzettel (bis zur 2.ten Zahlungsaufforderung) nicht bezahlt und der sexy Typ auf dem Foto wohl nicht die Fahrzeughalterin ist, standen die hübschen Mädels an meiner Tür. Da auf meine Schwester verlass ist, was das nicht bezahlen von Strafzetteln angeht, sollte ich mich vielleicht nochmal in Thüringen blitzen lassen um die hübschen Polizistinen wieder zu sehn :-)
youd see a white spec fly by on the right, that would by my beamer
I don't mind that you missed to drive on the right lane, because it's a two lane autobahn and on the right lane there are always some lanes from trucks. But mind on a three lane autobahn you need to clear the left lane. You can always drive fast on the autobahn, but have in mind that you can make mistakes.
I like driving fast and I have a pretty fast car and 220 km/h is my normal travel speed. If I want go fast then I drive 250 km/h which is the limited vmax in my car ( ~280 km/h unlimited vmax).
for a sec i thought it was a game, very good quality camera...
Limit on German Autobahn is 335 KMH ca : 200 MPH
Nice Saab
Australia compared to European countries is big flat & sparsely populated, it is the ideal place to have auto barn type hwys. Yet the max speed limit is just 110 kph, it's so frustrating having to sit on 100-110 kph for hrs on end.
noddy Noble I come from Germany and was in vacation in Australia doing a roadtrip and knowing the Autobahn without speed limits I can tell you thats even more boring to drive 110kmh when you are used to 130-180kmh.
auto barn? :D
teslatrooper85 yeah we all drive chook chasers here.XD
In case you don't know: there actually is a law which determines that you are not allowed to go too slow...
Nice 9-3 what engine?
it is in the video description - it was a 2.8v6 Turbo
+Jaco2k oh sorry.. have you driven it faster than 223kmh or is that top speed?
+Chriss Eo on that same day, but later, I maxed to 250 (GPS verified) and the limiter kicked in.
Ever since, it was tuned to Stage 1 and the limiter removed, but I sold it before I had a chance to max it again.
***** cool! so like 270 on stage 1? ;) very nice car love it
the first one is not USA it is India. How do I know ? Cuz I'm from India.
i like your choice ,bro , it's a saab!
that's how it is supposed to be. but too many understand the parts without speed limit as blank check for hazardous manoveurs.
no that´s not right. the police is only allowed to start a speed control 150-200 meters after a speed limit sign, when there wasn´t a limit before.
ios or android app
This is the reason why I love to be a german.Even in the driving scool (not evry single one but the most) whe were told to go fast (mor then 130 up to 200 kmh) so that you know what you are doing and how it feels like. But in my oppinion its great fun to do this but only if you risk only your own live... I can tell you if you have to travel mre than 300 km you will not be driving all the way 200 or even 180 becaue you WILL get unconvortable. I can tell you this because I have my driving licens scince about halve a year and have done about 50.000 km
+DesertGaming So you still have a lot to learn.
It depends on the car. With the right car you can go over 200kph for quite a long time.
+DesertGaming HAHAHAHA. I wanna see you doing 50.000 Km in half a year. Trucker or what? That would mean about 300km per day. Even if we suspect your average speed at 100kmh, which is highly doubtable, you'd be on the road for 3h hours EACH DAY.
I already drive a lot for a only 20 year old, and I've done around 50.000 km by now. And that just because I'm delivering cars to Poland/Italy/czech sometimes.
You have to slow down BEFORE you pass the sign. So if you are driving 200kmp and there is a 120 sign in front of you, you have to slow down, so you pass the sign at 120 kmp or slower. If you´ll be faster than limit, you will be fined ;) Thats the rule, and police will not argue with that. The second thing is, if you are in 120 zone and there is no speed lim. sign in front of you, you can accelerate from 120 at the moment, when you pass the no limit sign, not before. That are european rules :)
did u notice you drove by a 70 sign at 130 kph?
Paul Walker what are you smoking? :)
just told you you gotta be careful. Being caught by police could've costed u ur license, you were 60 kph too fast
Paul Walker where was that?
at 1:41 you travelled 206 kph when you went by a 120 sign, then apparently slowed down, and travelled 136 by a 100 sign (which I misread as a 70 sign) (1:58)
Paul Walker you misread it as an 100 sign also - it was another 130 sign. As to the first one, just pick your side of the discussion if I was right or wrong. My foot moved of the gas as soon as I saw the first 130 sign and I was gently braking.
and it's all legal. I LOVE IT
Absolutely right!
i used to flat out my punto hgt on the way to work almost everyday weather and traffic permitting and that was in britain where people seem to have no lane discipline but we are NOT allowed to pass on the left (undertaking) the shock of being overtaken by a fiat punto at 130mph albeit an exceedingly rare one :D even its 8 airbags wont save me at them speeds though :S
which car is it??
CAR IN INDIA answer is in the video description
i have doubts that this was your first time ;-) if, my congrats. but it is very very very unusual that "newies" are going on the right site so straight.
I did do my research before going ;) and the drive right rule applies in more countries - not only in Germany.
Main point of my trip was to drive the Nurburgring, so I did a lot of preparation for that. Autobahn driving was just a small part of it.
indeet. but even we germans do not striklty make it this way straight right like you did^^ *gg* but it seems that you had fun :-)
220, not bad, man!
Beautiful!
Going with 208 into a 130-section?? I know people who lost their licence PERMANENTLY for something like this..
Hahah this is actually a video game pretty cool though.
Natürlich sind in den Kommentaren nur Leute die wissen, wie man richtig auf der Autobahn fährt. Das ist auch typisch für Deutschland. Klugscheißer an jeder Ecke.
why so slowly?
what car is this ?
Hi there - please check the description. Information is there and detailed ;)
350z ?
^^ funny how people enjoy the autobahn ... common thing if you grow up with that :D
not a good idea, buddy the street is wet if you have to break you will slide about 400 meters to stop
TheLukas135 the video editing makes it look way more wet than what it was - it was damp at best.
only the car is wet from crossing some previous rain.
Ah typical... Speed limit of 120 and he still has to overtake and go 130 instead...
ah, typical. Another arrogant keyboard warrior with eyesight problems. Go look again - there was never a 120 speed limit. Always 130, from the point the first sign appears, of course :)
+Jaco2k Ah, yes. Didn't see it in minimized form. I take it back. Sorry, my bad.
Everytime i have a look Vids like this, i´m thinking to mee: What a lucky Guy. And what a luck for the others. Let´s to sum up the seen vid and the conditions: it´s rainy, the ground is wet, there are only 2 lines to drive, bends, and the guy drives on his first time in speeds over 200 km´s an hour. OMG and LoL. Mark my words: Our Autobahn is not a playground for noobs !!!
Your all anonymous (professional) german autoban driver with the best wishes. Keep cool !
Weisser Hirsch why you assume it was the first time I drove these speeds? :)
Check my other vids and make your own conclusions if I am a "noob driver" :)
...as to the wet, it wasn't - it just looks like that cause of video processing - it was damp at best.
TY for ur answer. But sry, i´ll never check ur other vids. This one was enough for me to form my opinion:
We can see an: Autobahn-Noob.
I stick to it.
Weisser Hirsch sure do - you can stick on top of your soapbox, big man :)
Enjoy your attention :)
Jako2k, what´s ur real German-Autobahn-Noob Problem ? That´s u are´ a real German-Autobahn Noob in my eyes? I´m tired to repeat my opion here over and over. It´s my opinion. Not yours. i´ve understand this.
Und weil ich mich jetzt hier die ganze Zeit befleißige, mit unserem amerikanischen Freund auf Englisch zu kommunizieren nochmal kurz zusammengefasst für alle Deutschsprachler, die zu faul sind zum Übersetzen unseres Disputes hier. Zur Klarstellung: Ich bin selber ein leidenschaftlicher Schnellfahrer auf der Autobahn weit > 240 km/h. Und ich bin bestimmt nicht die Sittenpolizei. Aber ich mache das Extrem nur, wenn es denn die Verhältnisse auch hergeben. Sicherheit und Coolness immer zuerst Leute ! Sicht, trockene Fahrbahn, möglichst 3 Spuren, wenig Verkehr, keine oder kaum Kurven. Und immer die mögliche "Dummheit" der anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer im Hinterkopf. Dann gerne auch mal 250 oder schneller. Wenn ich allerdings solche Vids von dahergelaufenen Möchtegerns sehe, kommt mir mit Verlaub das Kotzen hoch. Was will der Ami eigentlich von mir ? Mir erzählen, wie hier zu fahren ist ? Ich lach mich kaputt.
You need to tune your Car because it only take 87% Throttle xD
Imagine how it would accelerate when it would take 100%
:) that is some ECU thing - for some reason it doesn't report correctly the throttle position.
BTW, meanwhile the car has been tuned with a JZW stage 1 tune and I am quite happy with it.
220 is fast. no doubts. BUT there's always someone faster. no doubts - no discussion. i'm often overtaken by cars going easily at 250kph or more. drive on the right when there is no traffic on that lane and you're safe.
at that speed imho you can stay in overtaking mode on the left side all the time. There little to no chance anyone will drive that fast. I mean if you drive on the right side and you have to change sides again before you can overtake. At that speed and if there a small turn, that seems a lot more risky than just staying on the left side. The rule of leaving the left side makes more sense for people that overtake at less than 200 Kmph. There´s no fine you get if you drive at that speed on theleft
scary, compared to going only up to 70 on USA highway and being a lvl 1 student driver! LOL
223km/h top speed? Very impressive ;-) Seems that you´re a low rider?
+Sebastian Namyslik Did you even bother to read the description? :)
+Jaco2k So what? If there is a limit 223km/h is much too fast. If there is no limit, 223km/h is not impressive. But the most guys from other countries think 223km/h is fast. For us here in Germany it is absolutely normal.
+Sebastian Namyslik Ah, you just want to fight? Go on then... the stage is yours :)
OMG. You don´t know nothing about Germany. Shut up and dance......
+Sebastian Namyslik That's not true! I know many people, who don't drive that fast (me neither) and who think that 220 kph is fast. So it's nopt "absolutely normal" for us to drive 200+.
You were driving quite well but I still think that this speed was irresponsible when it's actually raining.
Chill - the rain was before I stopped, on the previous section of road. That is why the car is wet. The road, if you look closely, was only mildly damp. The driving line was mostly dry already.
...I am not stupid ;) never risk beyond reasonable.
wooooow we here in dubai dream of unlimited speed street , if they do it , it will become a racing road
What is all that noise? klappert ja alles
germanylicious it is the camera mount - it was quite improvised and vibrated a lot, as you hear.
I Drive to Work like this every day, Because i'm late
his driving was okay...used the right lane as it was empty......officially you should slow down before the 130 km/h sign, but everyone saw, that your were slowing down after the sign, and directly after a sign you will not be pulled out by the police..
You are barely above 180kph, keep right mate.
