But not right enough. Germany's motorway death rate is significantly higher than Britain's, and has been for decades - in spite of the fact that the vast majority of British drivers have no motorway training whatsoever (it was only made compulsory for new drivers in 2018). So either German drivers aren't as good as they think they are, or there is something much more dangerous about German motorways.

These are all minimum requirements for the test, by the way. Speed always comes at a price; you can either choose death, or a hilariously difficult driver training course.
We use that speed it when it's useful, when it's safe (apart from some idiots) and when it's a joy but NOT all the time. Having that freedom to be able to use it when you want / need is key.

What about cutting down on emissions? Speed limits save lives, wether people like it or not. Autobahn is not safer because of no speed limits, in general Germany is more strict in its licensing test system so that’s something important to consider. With so-called “freedom” comes consequences. But if people want to waste their gas and increase emissions, go ahead. Anyway…
You have to see the general picture here: The Autobahn in general is a very safe place compared to normal roads. The oncoming traffic is separated by a barrier, no slow participants in traffic such as pedestrians and bikes etc. Germany has a very dense network of Autobahns. If you limited the speed, people would take more direct and shorter routes instead of longer ways via Autobahn. That might actually lead to more lethal crashes on country roads. There was a serious thought about setting the max car weight for speed limitless driving from 3,5 t down to 2,7 t to stop vans from racing after there had been a few serious accidents. But limiting them in speed on the Autobahn would just push them off there onto normal roads and shorter routes. That's why that plan was abandoned.
Here in the US, we have drivers with focus on par with a soggy towel and can barely handle 60mph without smashing into everyone around them. I'm almost certain that more than half don't have a license, and the process of getting one is too leniant overall. An Autobahn would never work here, sadly.
Oh guys, in Colombia, the mayor put a speed limit on the highway at 60km/h!!! And the government filled those highways with photo tickets to just win (steal) more money from the car owners.
Just so you know, the main reason why you cannot directly compare those death statistics is because those are absolute numbers. You need to compare the deaths per month PER NUMBER OF PEOPLE USING THE HIGHWAY, i.e. per million of users. That's more like it. You can't just take numbers like that, that's not how you compare a statistic. Denmark has only 0.8 deaths per month and italy 3.9, so Denmark is better, right? NO. Just as a rough estimation, we can assume that in both countries the percentage of highway users is the same, hence it will be proportional to the total population, in first approximation. So, Denmark has 6 million inhabitants, italy has 60 millions. So, if denmark had 10 times higher population (same as italy), the number of deaths would be 8 per months, while italy would have half, 3.9. So, Italy is better, taking the ratios. As you said, of course the number of deaths depends on a lot of other factors, but I wrote this comment just to remind you that numbers have a meaning and a power, and you just cannot use them simply displaying them without an appropriate contextualisation
The Autobahn is certainly safe compared with the rest of the world, but from a purely european perspective the picture is not so rosy. Research shows that it is consistently and significantly more dangerous than the expressways of a number of european nations, amongst which is the United Kingdom. This is surprising, because hardly any british drivers have received formal training in how to use this type of road, since learner drivers were banned from them until 2018. For sixty years then, the vast majority of UK motorway users were entirely self-taught; yet in spite of this apparent handicap, year after year they record fewer deaths per billion vehicle-kilometres than their highly-trained german counterparts, and always have done. The number of accidents of all types is actually greater on the Autobahn sections with speed limits (79 per billion vehicle-kilometers as opposed to 71 on the unrestricted sections), but since these were imposed as calming measures for particularly dangerous stretches and known blackspots, this is no great surprise. However, the number of KSI's (people Killed or Seriously Injured) is much higher where there is no speed limit. In 2008 the DVR (Deutscher Verkehrssicherheitsrat, Germany's own road safety council) found that the increase was approximately 25 per cent, and a 2019 study established that it was over 75 per cent. If we take the average of these two figures, a 50 per cent difference is definitely a cause for concern, and casts more than a little doubt on the wisdom of the concept. International bodies such as the European Union, the European Traffic Safety Council, the Organisaton for Economic Cooperation and Development and the World Health Organisation have all produced facts and figures for most of the world's nations. Much of it is ongoing and is updated frequently, and is expressed in units of measure which eliminate potential bias from factors such as network lengths and population size, making it suitable for country-to-country comparisons. And although they use different methodologies and datasets, they _all_ agree that Germany's safety performance for all road types is just average for the industrialised nations - nowhere near the top. The ETSC, for example, only puts Germany in tenth place for Europe, and the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) does not even list her in its top ten. Now don't get me wrong: I am not implying that german drivers are bad and everyone else is good. What I am saying is that appearances can be deceptive. It is easy to enthuse about well-maintained roads and vehicles, and respectful drivers with good lane discipline who pull over to let you overtake, but these things alone do not mean you're more likely to get from A to B in one piece. Germany may be a _pleasant_ place to drive, but that's not the same thing as _safe._ By European standards she is good - but not _that_ good.
semi automated computer control could make cars collision proof. only need the computer to automatically slow down the car when the wheels start to slip and also take over the steering and stop the car if the driver faint or fall asleep.
I feel like Germans are the only people who loves car and car enthusiast, because german car has no competition and also the highways without speed limit is OMG Germany is only made for me
They should just make dedicated slow lanes for those who love to drive 90 and overtake a truck with 100. Problem solved. It's more dangerous when someone pulls out 20m in front of you with 100kph then accelerate like a brick falling up a flight of stairs because the speed difference even with 130kph is just to high. It clearly says you should overtake with a significant difference in speed and immediately more over to the right.
Allways this misunderstanding "Beyond this sign: No rules" There are TONS of rules in Germany without any sign. The most important is Road Traffic Regulations (Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung, StVO Section 1 Basic rule (1) Use of the road requires constant care and mutual respect (2) A person using the road shall act in such a way as not to harm or endanger or, more than is unavoidable in the circumstances, to hinder or inconvenience any other person YOU can go to jail for over 1 year for disregardig this golden rule remember 2003 fatal accident of a Mercedes engeneer without touching - just passing 1.5 years sentence
4:43 this is a really bad comparison metric. US has ~330 million people to Germany's ~83 million people. USA is 12.4 deaths to road accidents / 100,00 people and Germany is 3.7. Also curious where you got your numbers given that the US has some 3,000 people die monthly on average due to traffic accidents. These are pretty brazen errors, figured DW would be better.
Thanks for checking up too! Clearly it depends on how the statistics are presented. Our quoted figures are taken from the International Transport Forum, which is part of the OECD and is pretty reliable. For clarity it should read monthly deaths on motorways alone per 100,000 people, that's close to the figures you quote.
For many germans, driving on the autobahn is the most entertaining thing in their boring lives. Because holding a wheel and staring at white lines for 6h is "fun".
The german automakers are right. If you have a car that's built for speed its like owning a lion and cutting off its paws and removing its teeth. But, why dont they build cars to be safer at higher speeds?
Can't really compare those two. The Autobahn is a very safe place. In 2018, only 400 of Germany's ~3200 road fatalities happened on the Autobahn. Compare that to almost 14.000 firearm homicide deaths in the US in the same year...I think you get the idea. The most useful thing about regulating the speed is that it saves a ton of CO2 emmissions, but that's about it.
Why is this soyboy arguing for speedlimits everywhere on the autobahn? The dangerous sections already have them and there are less accidents on average compared to a lot of neighboring countries.
German unlimited highways are far safer than most other European countries' roads even though they have low limits. That's enough about that subject. Education should be the solution to this as it is an intelligent solution for all other issues. And for all the East-German-minded, jealous, cowardly people who can't handle driving fast: you don't have to drive fast. No-one is forcing you to drive fast. No-one is even forcing you to get on the Autobahn at all! You can live your whole life without ever going on the Autobahn, just take public transportation. But yeah, we all know that it's not about you, it's about you evil, slimy, jealous, hateful people wanting to hurt OTHERS, you want to punish them and FORCE them to give up what they benefit from and enjoy. Because you are pure evil. But speed limits WILL be implemented soon. Why? Because German politicians and civil servants are TOTALLY corrupt, and VW Group has gone all-in with EVs after they ruined their diesel-strategy by getting caught in their massive diesel cheating. So now that VW has gone all-in on EVs they want speed limits on the roads, because without speed limits the EV inferiority in high speeds is very pronounced. The public will always know that EVs are inferior in high speeds when there are no speed limits, and VW can't stand such a situation as a hindrance to any of their sales. And yes, the German government IS absolutely and totally corrupt, just look at yet another example: they came out with MASSIVE subsidies for EVs EXACTLY perfectly timed for VW's first proper EV sales start. EXACTLY when the VW ID.3 came on sale is when the German MASSIVE over 9000€ subsidies were introduced.
Dont metion USA deaths on highway. We just have bad drivers. I guy could literally make a mistake whilst driving, (no wreck just the mere fact of cutting someone off without a signal),then the cutoff person will get road rage, pull out a gun and the other person will chase after them and call the cops. And last I checked bullets travel faster than a cop car. They'll continue thier shared road rage of cat and mouse across the city all while running reds and driving on the interstate shoulders and other reckless behavior. Also we'd rather slam on brakes to make a turn with no signals, and if the signal lights are used its after they already turned the steering wheel. People also drive slowest in the fast lane. They also dont get in the slow lane after they've finished their pass. Tailgating, using their brakes when they are the lead car instead of just taking their foot off the gas. Not checking their blind spot before changing lanes (again not using the turn signal) American Drivers suck.

The oncoming traffic is separated by a barrier, no slow participants in traffic such as pedestrians and bikes etc. Germany has a very dense network of Autobahns. If you limited the speed, people would take more direct and shorter routes instead of longer ways via Autobahn. That might actually lead to more lethal crashes on country roads. There was a serious thought about setting the max car weight for speed limitless driving from 3,5 t down to 2,7 t to stop vans from racing after there had been a few serious accidents. But limiting them in speed on the Autobahn would just push them off there onto normal roads and shorter routes. That's why that plan was abandoned.
I have paid for the whole speedometer, so I'm gona use the full Speedometer.
Here in the US, we have drivers with focus on par with a soggy towel and can barely handle 60mph without smashing into everyone around them. I'm almost certain that more than half don't have a license, and the process of getting one is too leniant overall. An Autobahn would never work here, sadly.
Thanks for your comment! We're very interested in driving licence processes around the world, and you might just have given us an idea!
Oh guys, in Colombia, the mayor put a speed limit on the highway at 60km/h!!! And the government filled those highways with photo tickets to just win (steal) more money from the car owners.
How the heck does a traffic jam happen on a highway with no speed limit?
Youre not allowed to overtake on the right side
If you aren't late,drive about 140-150 KMH if safe to do so
Only time I have heard that driving under the speed limit is dangerous, with which I agree.
Yes, some studies show that driving slower than the average speed is more dangerous than speeding.
180kmh with my Peugeot 206. Heading back to France, you don't want to drive at 130kmh anymore 😄
Germans driving education has me amazed, I’m from Mexico where fatal accidents happens everyday at 100-120 km/h because people are so irresponsible…
Just so you know, the main reason why you cannot directly compare those death statistics is because those are absolute numbers. You need to compare the deaths per month PER NUMBER OF PEOPLE USING THE HIGHWAY, i.e. per million of users. That's more like it. You can't just take numbers like that, that's not how you compare a statistic. Denmark has only 0.8 deaths per month and italy 3.9, so Denmark is better, right? NO. Just as a rough estimation, we can assume that in both countries the percentage of highway users is the same, hence it will be proportional to the total population, in first approximation. So, Denmark has 6 million inhabitants, italy has 60 millions. So, if denmark had 10 times higher population (same as italy), the number of deaths would be 8 per months, while italy would have half, 3.9. So, Italy is better, taking the ratios. As you said, of course the number of deaths depends on a lot of other factors, but I wrote this comment just to remind you that numbers have a meaning and a power, and you just cannot use them simply displaying them without an appropriate contextualisation
Had no idea Germany had federal states
The Autobahn is certainly safe compared with the rest of the world, but from a purely european perspective the picture is not so rosy. Research shows that it is consistently and significantly more dangerous than the expressways of a number of european nations, amongst which is the United Kingdom. This is surprising, because hardly any british drivers have received formal training in how to use this type of road, since learner drivers were banned from them until 2018. For sixty years then, the vast majority of UK motorway users were entirely self-taught; yet in spite of this apparent handicap, year after year they record fewer deaths per billion vehicle-kilometres than their highly-trained german counterparts, and always have done.
The number of accidents of all types is actually greater on the Autobahn sections with speed limits (79 per billion vehicle-kilometers as opposed to 71 on the unrestricted sections), but since these were imposed as calming measures for particularly dangerous stretches and known blackspots, this is no great surprise. However, the number of KSI's (people Killed or Seriously Injured) is much higher where there is no speed limit. In 2008 the DVR (Deutscher Verkehrssicherheitsrat, Germany's own road safety council) found that the increase was approximately 25 per cent, and a 2019 study established that it was over 75 per cent. If we take the average of these two figures, a 50 per cent difference is definitely a cause for concern, and casts more than a little doubt on the wisdom of the concept.
International bodies such as the European Union, the European Traffic Safety Council, the Organisaton for Economic Cooperation and Development and the World Health Organisation have all produced facts and figures for most of the world's nations. Much of it is ongoing and is updated frequently, and is expressed in units of measure which eliminate potential bias from factors such as network lengths and population size, making it suitable for country-to-country comparisons. And although they use different methodologies and datasets, they _all_ agree that Germany's safety performance for all road types is just average for the industrialised nations - nowhere near the top. The ETSC, for example, only puts Germany in tenth place for Europe, and the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) does not even list her in its top ten.
Now don't get me wrong: I am not implying that german drivers are bad and everyone else is good. What I am saying is that appearances can be deceptive. It is easy to enthuse about well-maintained roads and vehicles, and respectful drivers with good lane discipline who pull over to let you overtake, but these things alone do not mean you're more likely to get from A to B in one piece. Germany may be a _pleasant_ place to drive, but that's not the same thing as _safe._ By European standards she is good - but not _that_ good.
Opening the clip with you passing on the right. :-(
This is one of the dumbest, dangerous and most expensive things you can do on the Autobahn !
American speed limits may be lifted in California + we have the salt flats
Was ist der geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung? Ja.
(Translation: What is the speed limit? Yes.)
semi automated computer control could make cars collision proof. only need the computer to automatically slow down the car when the wheels start to slip and also take over the steering and stop the car if the driver faint or fall asleep.
Because they inspired the whole NFS series 😂😂😂😂😂
They don't "LOVE" it, as a matter of fact most Germans want to abolish the no speed limit law...
Well that’s stupid.
I feel like Germans are the only people who loves car and car enthusiast, because german car has no competition and also the highways without speed limit is OMG Germany is only made for me
Germans : *"I paid for the whole speedometer So Im gonna use the whole speedometer."*
They should just make dedicated slow lanes for those who love to drive 90 and overtake a truck with 100. Problem solved.
It's more dangerous when someone pulls out 20m in front of you with 100kph then accelerate like a brick falling up a flight of stairs because the speed difference even with 130kph is just to high. It clearly says you should overtake with a significant difference in speed and immediately more over to the right.
You lost me at 6:05
Allways this misunderstanding
"Beyond this sign: No rules"
There are TONS of rules in Germany without any sign.
The most important is
Road Traffic Regulations (Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung, StVO
Section 1 Basic rule
(1) Use of the road requires constant care and mutual respect
(2) A person using the road shall act in such a way as not to harm or endanger or, more than is unavoidable in the circumstances, to hinder or inconvenience any other person
YOU can go to jail for over 1 year for disregardig this golden rule
remember 2003 fatal accident of a Mercedes engeneer without touching - just passing
1.5 years sentence
You will be stuck in traffic if idiots don’t follow the rules and don’t keep the left lane clear for passing
I think isle of man also has no speed limit,if I'm correct.
4:43 this is a really bad comparison metric. US has ~330 million people to Germany's ~83 million people. USA is 12.4 deaths to road accidents / 100,00 people and Germany is 3.7. Also curious where you got your numbers given that the US has some 3,000 people die monthly on average due to traffic accidents. These are pretty brazen errors, figured DW would be better.
Yes was thinking the same the statistics was so vague. Death per capital or death per person with driving license would be a good start.
Thanks for checking up too! Clearly it depends on how the statistics are presented. Our quoted figures are taken from the International Transport Forum, which is part of the OECD and is pretty reliable. For clarity it should read monthly deaths on motorways alone per 100,000 people, that's close to the figures you quote.
For many germans, driving on the autobahn is the most entertaining thing in their boring lives. Because holding a wheel and staring at white lines for 6h is "fun".
Race track, haha.
No.
Motorway

Welp know i known were to get my free race track.

The german automakers are right. If you have a car that's built for speed its like owning a lion and cutting off its paws and removing its teeth.
But, why dont they build cars to be safer at higher speeds?
Imagine the US intestate highway with no speed limits.
Montana used to have no speed limits

Quick pro tip: never talk about US gun laws especially to an American. Y’all got no clue what you’re talking about
Germany’s no speed limits is like USA’s relax gun laws. It should be regulated but people are too used to it and like it.
Can't really compare those two. The Autobahn is a very safe place. In 2018, only 400 of Germany's ~3200 road fatalities happened on the Autobahn. Compare that to almost 14.000 firearm homicide deaths in the US in the same year...I think you get the idea.
The most useful thing about regulating the speed is that it saves a ton of CO2 emmissions, but that's about it.

Why is this soyboy arguing for speedlimits everywhere on the autobahn? The dangerous sections already have them and there are less accidents on average compared to a lot of neighboring countries.
The autobahn is for the fast and furious.
German unlimited highways are far safer than most other European countries' roads even though they have low limits. That's enough about that subject. Education should be the solution to this as it is an intelligent solution for all other issues.
And for all the East-German-minded, jealous, cowardly people who can't handle driving fast: you don't have to drive fast. No-one is forcing you to drive fast. No-one is even forcing you to get on the Autobahn at all! You can live your whole life without ever going on the Autobahn, just take public transportation. But yeah, we all know that it's not about you, it's about you evil, slimy, jealous, hateful people wanting to hurt OTHERS, you want to punish them and FORCE them to give up what they benefit from and enjoy. Because you are pure evil.
But speed limits WILL be implemented soon. Why? Because German politicians and civil servants are TOTALLY corrupt, and VW Group has gone all-in with EVs after they ruined their diesel-strategy by getting caught in their massive diesel cheating. So now that VW has gone all-in on EVs they want speed limits on the roads, because without speed limits the EV inferiority in high speeds is very pronounced. The public will always know that EVs are inferior in high speeds when there are no speed limits, and VW can't stand such a situation as a hindrance to any of their sales.
And yes, the German government IS absolutely and totally corrupt, just look at yet another example: they came out with MASSIVE subsidies for EVs EXACTLY perfectly timed for VW's first proper EV sales start. EXACTLY when the VW ID.3 came on sale is when the German MASSIVE over 9000€ subsidies were introduced.
u r driving indian owend car
Dont metion USA deaths on highway.
We just have bad drivers.
I guy could literally make a mistake whilst driving, (no wreck just the mere fact of cutting someone off without a signal),then the cutoff person will get road rage, pull out a gun and the other person will chase after them and call the cops. And last I checked bullets travel faster than a cop car.
They'll continue thier shared road rage of cat and mouse across the city all while running reds and driving on the interstate shoulders and other reckless behavior.
Also we'd rather slam on brakes to make a turn with no signals, and if the signal lights are used its after they already turned the steering wheel.
People also drive slowest in the fast lane. They also dont get in the slow lane after they've finished their pass.
Tailgating, using their brakes when they are the lead car instead of just taking their foot off the gas.
Not checking their blind spot before changing lanes (again not using the turn signal)
American Drivers suck.
Germany will very likely get a speed limit upcoming year
@DrGorilla that would be a real shift in German road culture. Do you really expect it will happen?
Thanks to the left wing takeover, it sure will
Let's hope that's not just wishful thinking.
