As for your statement: "it's the same damn road and a lot less cars."
Let me start with: BAAAHAHAHAHAHAH
Now on tot the facts:
If you do a little research you will find that the "autobahn" is actually unlike any US highway. It is smoother, thicker and wider. In fact the autobahn was specifically designed with a 3 degree camber in the flats to disburse rainwater and a steeper than normal angle in curves to allow for tracking.
In short you are an idiot and the autobahn is designed more like a racetrack.. which is where this entire let's=drive-219 deal should have begin and ended.

There was a 3 1/2 year window in Montana where speed limits were defined as *reasonable and prudent*. The freeways there were built exactly the same as every freeway in the US.
My experiences with the Autobahn are that people there are trained to drive differently. They don't drink coffee and talk on phones. They drive in the right and pass on the left.
The roads in Germany are not that much better than the US system.
