I am from germany and please if you ever ride on the Autobahn remember this points:

- Look carefully in your mirros if you wish to change the lane. When clear:
- Use your flashers everytime when you switch the lanes.
- Remember the “Rechtsfahrgebot” which means: You have to drive on the right lane, if possible.

Don’t forget, some cars going 250 km/h and they need for a full stop 450 meters (perfect wether conditions). Its nice that so many people love our Autobahn, but many tourists does very dangerous things on the Autobahn. If you drive on the Autobahn, you have to do nothing else! No eating, no drinking, no smoking – be concentrated.

Than you!

i am from germany and i really liked the guide. But there are some more things, that I would like to add.
- Please do always use the mostright lane so the left lane can be used by faster cars. Also if your speed is 100 mph there can be cars behind you with 200 mph. It´s surely not very commmon but still something you can see every day. When somebody crashes into your car from behind with 200 mph it may be your last experience
- Please do never ever pass on the right side. The car you are about to pass may try to change to your lane as the driver does not have to expect somebody aproaching from behind on the lane to his right. I know that it is the most normal thing on US highways, but trust me… this is extremely dangerous on german autobahns.
- Whenever you want to change to a lane on the left, please check your mirrow, have a look over your shoulder and check the mirrow again. On US highways, where everybody has the same speed 50 Meters distance may be enough to go into the gap. But on the german autobahn there may be a car behind you aproaching with 50 meters per second! So please do not only try to check the distance to the car behind you. Please do also try to estimate the speed of this car.
