I lived in Germany (near Idar-Oberstein) for 5 years, not a subject matter expert like you but I will say...
Most of the highways in America are inferior compared to those in Germany. The material they are made of, the way they are engineered... Much safer to go "fast" on the Autobahn in the no restricted area than here in the states.
Now if you are talking about the drivers...lol As you know, in Germany the right lane is for driving, the left lane is for passing. If you are in the left lane, people will move out of your way, almost every time. In the states, there is no such courtesy. People drive in whatever lane they want, at whatever speed they want (50mph in a 70mph in the left lane), because they believe they are entitled to. Morons.
