If you look at the bahn, compared to our clogged road,s there almost empty.
Ive gone round the Trier triangle (Luxembourg - Germany) at 100+ near on
the whole way, with very light traffic the whole way , (11am-12:30) the
A8 up to Saarlois near on empty
That said, ive also seen some huge wipeouts, where cars have bounced
across the carriageway when they have lost it.

Its all well and good what people should do but often they don't, many do not even have a concept that a car may be coming at 180 and may even see it coming and pull out thinking it has loads of room to slow down not realising how far a vehicle needs to stop at that speed. Drive to what people tend to do, not what they are supposed to do if you die its no good saying it was his fault.

For me its not the speed itself, its more the weaving in and out of traffic, that make him at t**t.
I'm not an expert on autobahns, but have driven on them a few times, and ze germans are usually pretty good on lane etiquette, especially on the unrestricted sections. So I'd have no problem booting it in the fast lane, but weaving across the traffic like that is just asking for trouble

There were quite a few sweeping bends in that vid and to take them at the speeds they were doing when the road is so bumpy takes committment - thats coming from a biker.
