most Prius' I see around here are driven by 40 something year old men

In Germany, on the autobahn, as you can imagine, when they have accidents, they are doosies! I remember driving there. It's quite something to drive at those speeds. You get used to it very quickly (no pun intended).

Yep pretty much... fast lane and truck lane in many areas.

It does take some getting use to after arriving in Germany after a long flight and getting behind the wheel of your rental 5 series BMW...

But, traffic over there is getting bad too and there are simply fewer and fewer places for wide open driving.

I thought it would be hard to adjust from setting the cruise at 100 mph on the autobahn and bringing my car stateside and driving at 65... but you adjust.

The big thing with speed is the time it takes to slow down... that is when driving a 100+ is noticeable.

130 mph is the fastest I drove in Germany but only for a short stretch... seems almost surreal except for the speedometer.

Towing is strictly enforced and often will see license plate extenders so the plate is never obstructed...

He's likely never gone over 60 and due to a lack of driving skills has a problem at that speed. There will be a slow lane for low skills drivers like him and trucks.

I sure wish they would quit thinking the passing lane is it.

I couldn't guess how many times I've sat in the driving lane all alone, while traffic in the passing lane bunched up behind that one yahoo 1/2 mile down who is passing somebody who is going 1/2 mile slower. Often I will watch the same car get a bit ahead of me, then I'll pass him... It's a good time to set the CC, crank a good tune and crack a beer.

Well, maybe not that last one. :eek:

Rte 89 out of Vermont seemed to be good for that when I was travelling up that way.
Coming back for the weekend at a different time of night it seemed like the exact opposite; everybody would be driving along at the same speed when a car would come flying up from behind and climb up my tailpipe. I'd think "That's either a state trooper or a Massachusetts driver, and I'm not driving fast enough for it to be a trooper." Sure enough he'd veer out, and 9 times out of 9 the car would have Massachusetts plates.

So MA drivers are bad drivers?
