I remember reading 15 or so years ago that per kms driven, the German fatality rate was much higher than that of the U.S. In any case, my experience in Germany was that they are horrible drivers, never leaving any margin of error. Driving on a public road should not be the same as driving in a race. Speed kills, anything above 100km/hr on a crowded highway is simply not safe.

You're pretty much wrong on everything you say.

Fatality rates (per vehicle mile) are about the same on US freeways and German autobahn, and have been for years.

Our fastest roads (and theirs) are the safest roads on the planet.
