Pretty sure Germany is the only place where you can still drive really fast. I think most of their neighbors have a 140 km/hr. max limit on hwys. and they are pretty strictly enforced. Still, I don't even mind just doing 140 km/hr +/- 10% when everyone else is driving like a professional. Sure, there are some hotheads on the roads there, but everyone knows the rules. If you're in the left lane and you see headlights behind you, you move over.

I was doing the all night drive from Klagenfurt to Frankfurt Main in a beater Peugot rental, probably crusiing at 160 km/hr. near the airport. I moved over to pass the guy in front of me. When I started to change lanes, there was nothing in the left left lane. When I got there, a 993's headlights had come out of the horizon and were on my rear bumper. I moved right over and he shot past me. Just beautiful. You never see that here.
