"Today I have a very serious warning to anyone hoping to experience the thrill of driving their new baby on the Autobahn… While speed does not kill, DRIVING TOO FAST FOR CONDITIONS DOES! And by “conditions” I do not only mean rain or darkness. I am talking about traffic conditions as well. Today we witnessed a fatal accident unfold in front of our very eyes, less than 100 yards, at over 130 MPH and almost became a part of it!
Here’s what happened… We were cruising on the Autobahn southwest of Munich heading toward Lake Constance. It was 9:30 am, sunny, dry roads and light traffic. Generally the few cars in the right lane were traveling from between 85 and 100MPH on the unrestricted sections, and some cars would pass on the left between 120 and 140 or so. Occasionally we took the opportunity to cruise along at 120. During one of those times, a teal colored sedan joined up on our rear. I don’t know what kind of car it was, but think mid-late 90’s Acura Legend. Could have been a Pugeot or Citroen. It was lowered, with a rather gaudy aero kit, and I could see the driver was younger, perhaps 20-ish with 3 passengers, and driving more aggressively than is normal on the Autobahn. He followed closer than comfortable, and came up on slower traffic very fast and aggressively before slowing. So I accelerated to around 145 and put some more distance between us."
You are so awesome jetz
