I think it was better if there was a general speed limit at around 120km/h.
Driving in Switzerland or Austria is in general more relaxing and needs much less fuel.
But I have to admit there are things I like about being able to drive 200+km/h. First is acceleration. Being able to put the foot down and just accelerate (even in the end it‘s just accelerating to ~120) feels great. The second factor ist actually driving 200-220km/h. It‘s not really fun but it is a strange feeling. A mixture of of tension and relaxation and hyperfocus. You have Focus on your driving because you know an error (it does not have to be your error) can kill you but on the other hand you fell calm and feel you have control and through your focus everything slows down. It calms me. I would describe it as almost meditation, having never meditated.
I know thinking about it I should not do it, and I should not praise it and I probably should have used a throw away, but it has some appeal and even just writing about it triggers some of those feelings.
It makes a difference when overtaking a truck for example. In Germany it‘s possible that the right lane flows with about 85km/h whereas the left lane is used by “overtakers” with about 180+km/h.
One of the reasons I like three lane Autobahnen. You have the left lane for the racers. You have the right lane for the trucks. And you have the middle lane to overtake trucks. It all works fine until some beep beep beep beep decides that staying in the middle lane all the time is better cause they cannot be bothered to switch lanes every few kilometers.
