The problem with that scenerio is that on the autobahn, the other cars are not traveling close to 100 mph less than you are. What would happen if grandma pulled out 50 yards ahead? It would not matter how much you were paying attention. None of us drive perfectly... but they're different levels of maturity and stupidity here.
Also, there is a big difference between how the autobahn is designed and how the road is actually constructed vs. American pot hole-laden highways.
