The German autobahn is built to drive up to 250km/h and the German driving school is very throughout to enable drivers to drive at high speeds pretty safely.

Unless you drive on the 80% of Autobahn that has a speed limit, construction site, traffic jam or has the lanes blocked by east European trucks overtaking each other at 90kmh.
