How to not get killed driving?

Get out the road...can't get hit.

People were actually paying attention too - and hyper focused when hauling ass. You would pass in the left and as soon as the pass was done back to the right lane as you would have some random Porsch/Audi R8 on you in a heartbeat pushing 300kpm. The flashing of lights was so expected - love it.

This is the way. If you're doing 150kph,get to the right lane..... And even here we can't do 200 km per minute [emoji38]
I always feel seriously under gunned in my 120hp Passat. But I can ride it at 5l per 100km (whatever that is in freedom miles per ounce ) in Switzerland where speeding is a bad idea.

One of the scariest experiences of my life was driving across Germany in a car with our British friends--as old as us--in their right hand drive British car with the timid husband driving because only his wife could navigate. Did I mention the husband didn't know how to use his mirrors? He would pull out to pass a truck going way to slow, get tailgated, panic, and pull back in way too close in front of the truck. He tried driving as fast as the Germans in the left lane but we made him slow down to a speed he could handle. Going between 80kph and 150 kph is terrifying. Thank god when we finally reached France.

My parents had one of those and us kids jokingly called it the Pass-it. That thing was a slow dog. Nice car otherwise.
