    This dispels so many of my assumptions about German efficiency. I’ve always wanted to drive the autobahn. Please tell me that would be enjoyable…

      Germans are more well-behaved on the road than people from other countries from what I’ve heard, but I personally still complain all the time.

      If you do get a stretch of unrestricted autobahn, it’s nice, but be careful. Since braking distances scale exponentially with speed, you need to be able to spot idiots from very far away.

      I found myself in a few dangerous situations already because people underestimated that aspect.
