As for the German model, their TüV (MOT) ensures only the tourists drive poor condition cars there. Let's not forget, that Germans are also rather orderly drivers, so once again, only tourists do stupid things on the Autobahn.
I visited Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg last year. Now, roughly 60% of the time on the Autobahn, going from the very east of Bavaria to the very west of the Baden-Württemberg there was a speed limit of 130 km/h, due to poor road condition, dense traffic and road works of all sorts.
Anyway, it was cool to cruise at 180 km/h when possible, reaching the top speed of 235 km/h. You get comfortable very quickly. That being said, the only time I've realised how fast I was going was the time I had to do emergency braking from said 180 km/h down to about 100 km/h, because of one unorderly tourist driver. So, that's one thing to take into consideration, especially when it's safe to say, as Easy-X mentions, the British MOT, just like the Czech equivalent, is not as strict as the German TüV. |
Agree. I live in Bavaria and its nice to be able to go as fast as you can.
Bear in mind this is not necessarily good thing for motorbikes. If you are with a street bike no fairing like mine the wind blast is a thing. And you need to be mindful of BMWs going way faster then you in the fast lane.
I can't remember anyone overatking my bike with a car in the UK. ____________________ Adrian Monk: Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not...

There are Nazis in their Twatpanzerwagons on the autobahn who haven't remembered who won the fuking war.
The tail gaiting then the headlamp flashing is comical.
I'm no dither on the road but if I'm waiting for the slow coach in front to get out the fking way there's noting I can do but wait.
But Hansel and Gretel don't give any quarter to anyone in front.
It's a shame really, because cnuts like me slow down when tailgated.
That's to reduce the speed and maybe increase the distance between me and the vehicle behind.
I relaxes me.
