Technical malfunctions are a rather rare cause for accidents in Germany. Every car has to go through an inspection every two years. They will check literally EVERYTHING in order to see if the car is really safe to be on the road. You won't see any totally run-down old vehicles that are about to fall apart and are only held together by duct tape. If you get cought w/o a valid inspection sticker, this will result in a hefty fine.
Dresden?
most cats are not strays but are regular pets. They just often run around outside
You can´t compare driving on a german Autobahn with driving on an american Highway. Drivers in Germany are much more disciplined. In general they drive on the right lane and only switch to the left when overtaking and giving way to faster cars by switching back to the right. Otherwise it would be by far too dangerous. Normally you can drive 160 km staying relaxed. Driving 200 km or more is a bit stressy and the most Drivers don´t do it. The average speed on the Autobahn is about 130km - even if there´s no speed limit. Keep also in mind that the fuel is comparable expensive in Germany and the consumption rises exponential with the speed. The higher fuel consumption is the reason why a general speed limit will propably come, it´s not because of safety reasons. The german Autobahn is one of the safest road systems in the world - by far safer than the american Highways...

There's a law in Germany that any vehicle which is supposed to drive on the autobahn must technically be able to reach at least 60 kmph (which is about 37 mph). So you can't ride a low- hp tractor, a scooter or a bicycle on the autobahn. Also, there are little cars that drive a maximum of 45 kmph (27 mph) that you are allowed to drive with a scooter license, mostly for city traffic, but you can't drive them on the autobahn either.
In fact, the highest speed ever driven on the Autobahn is 417 km/h, which is 259.11 mph. BUT this happened on the part of a wealthy entrepreneur from Austria with a Bugatti chiron in a relatively controlled drive with service vehicles for surveillance.

I drive regularly in Germany and usually pootle along the Autobahn at around 150mph with no problems. Don't try that in the Netherlands.
The borders on the German map are the state borders. In terms of states, Germany and the US are kinda similar. They have a federal government and state governments

I recommend watching "Why driving in Europe is better than America" by Kerleem. He explains a lot while driving on a dutch highway. They do have a speed limit, but the rules are basically the same.
Germany consists of several federal states, much like the U.S. Thats what those borders on the map are.
What most people dont have in mind talking about the speed on the autobahn ist that its well maintained because a small hole in the ground means maybe nothing at 70 mph but is another ballgame at 100 mph or even something like 150 or more. Side effect of this is that german cars are built from people over here that have always to keep in mind that people will drive that fast if possible. So they built cars a bit safer then needed because that and try to make the handling good enough at those speeds that even new drivers should not crash straight away. A car in germany ends up like this: It can go 150 mph, it will go 150 mph so we have to make sure people wont die driving 150 mph
And that's the big mistake.
Fastest I drove was 250 kmph (155 mph), because that's the maximum allowed by the electronic speed limitator on my car, but that definitely felt way too fast and unsafe, so never doing that again. 160-170 is kind of the max that still feels safe.
I am from Sweden and even though I live here in Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands are relatively close and easy to drive to. So it is quite common that you, like me, have driven on the autobahn from time to time.
On much of the German Autobahn the speedlimit is 130 km/h. There are stretches where there is no enforced limit, but even on those the advised speedlimit is 130 km/h. PLUS what a lot of people don't seem to realise is that if you have an accident while driving at speeds above 130 km/h on such stertch of Autobahn it voids your carinsurance.
Every vehicle in Germany, requires a technical inspection every two years. For this purpose, you receive a sticker from the TüV = Technical Inspection Association. If the vehicle does not pass the usual examinations, it will not be registered for road traffic. And may not be moved at all, as long as the defects are not eliminated! For this reason, vehicles in Germany also do not lose tires if they drive faster than 125mph. By the way, overtaking on the right side is forbidden in Germany ;-)
