That is why you can go to jail for making an illegal lane change on the autobahn (i think it's the same punishment for giving someone the finger(god bless america))

You also can't eat while you drive or use our phone on the autobahn, and it is still one of the safest major road in the world despite cars traveling over 200mph.
If I'm not mistaken, one of the reasons it is safer is that they don't allow broken down cars that should have been put to pasture ten years ago to drive on it. A lot of wrecks are caused by people who are too cheap to buy new brakes (i.e., my ex, whose policy is I'll fix it when I have no choice).
