The "co driver" view is calm and accurate

Co Driving.

 This is an actual experience.

 Start at Minute 1:10




Minute 7:34 shows the speed of the car at about 140 mph  about 230 kph
at 7:44 he pulled over immediately.  PHEW!

 I don't see him using a turn signal.

 The name of the channel is "arch movies"  in Dutch
guitige filmpjes

 He tested an A4 in March 2017



The co-drivers view: Sunday on the Autobahn

The German Autobahn, subject of many discussions around the world. One say it is the ultimate road of freedom, while others claim that the freedom is curtailed by many speed limits and other traffic. On a nice sunday in may I turned the car into a camera car to give you an impression of what is going on this road of speed.

An Audi A6 3.0 TDI Avant (4F / 2011) is a perfectly suitable car for the Autobahn, it has enough power to drive at high speeds (200 to 250km/h or 125 to 155mph/h) while still having a moderate fuel consumption.

In this video we drive in central Germany along the Autobahn "A6" towards the east, from Frankenthal towards Heidelberg (greater Frankfurt area). You will see that on certain parts (bridges, road works, interchanges, near urban areas) the speed is limited while on the regular stretches one can drive as fast as he / she wishes (letting it fly at 155mp/h 04:45). 
Also you can notice that most cars move towards the right when a faster car approaches (01:05), although some drivers to not respect this unwritten rule and still get in the way (04:20). This also works the other way around, if traffic in the left lane cannot move to the right the approaching driver usually waits and does not tailgate or use signals to indicate his / hers wish to overtake.

Atfer the "Dreieck Viernheim" interchange the Autobahn A6 switches to a 3-lane road with generally leads to a more relaxter and faster travel because there is less trafic in the left lane.
(NOTE:  there must be a map showing the faster sections that don't have a fixed limit)

YOU CAN SEE THIS HERE:  Sunday on Autobahn

FINALLY   at minute 7   there are no cars ahead


THIS IS THE DREAM.  no rain, nobody ahead, and I guess no upper limit.   on the road from Bremen to Hamburg
North Germany

Focus on the experience, not on possible cops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLU2z2z_kfk minute 5 you are not focusing on looking for cops you are focusing on getting around the cars in front it's so much more relaxing ========  Autobahn Speed Limits: The Need for Speed When entering the Autobahn near larger cities, a la Munich, Frankfurt, and Berlin, speed limits do apply. Depending on the urban area in which you're driving the Autobahn, the speed limits range from 80 k/ph to 130 k/ph (50mph-80mph), these regulatory speeds are in place to prevent an excess of potentially fatal car-accidents in portions of the Autobahn characterized by dangerous curves, heavy traffic, and major interchanges. As you leave the more congested areas of the Autobahn, the German government has implemented a system described as a zone of "dynamic speed limits." Here electronic signs display the speed limits and can be adjusted to reflect changes in weather, road conditions, or heavy traffic. Once you venture even fur...

165 mph in a Prosche 911 on the Autobahn A4

The map showing the UNLIMITED SPEED sections Here's where the reality-show-style shockers come in, right at the end, when you least expect it. (Except that if you've seen enough of those shows, you know that there's always a twist in the last two episodes, so maybe it's actually when you most expect it.) The fastest times on the German  autobahn  weren't set yesterday, or a year ago, or even a decade ago. They were set in 1938. On the same day. By Mercedes Benz and Auto Union (which would eventually become Audi). Bernd Rosemeyer drove an Auto Union streamliner that had a mid-mounted V-16 engine, two  superchargers  and an estimated 400  horsepower  -- not too shabby even today. It was designed by Ferdinand Porsche. What the streamliner didn't have, unfortunately, was enough  downforce  to keep it planted on the road at high speed. Rosemeyer managed to hit 268.432 miles an hour (432 kilometers per hour) when word came in that the Mercedes-Be...
