Germany's Autobahn





The autobahn is a perfect picture of speed. There hangs on a wall in my mind a memory sketch of our Renault doing 145 (about 97 mph) and being rocked by the bow waves of Mercedes, BMW's, Porches, Audi's and others as they passed by on our left.
The double lane roads are a wonder too; partly because every road in Germany has at least three lanes, regardless of how many are painted there. If there are only two lanes on the road, you should always be prepared to see a car pass the car that is coming toward you, everybody justs moves over a little to let the passing car slip through. Actually, it all works out easier than trying to drive in Asheville on Friday evening.
