Was that car or a low flying plane?

Looked like a sidewinder

There was a youtube video of that, IIRC. Very reckless driving, what if someone pulled onto his lane? Kabam!

I'm not saying it isn't dangerous,

But there is a marked difference to how highways work in Europe as opposed to the dozy creatures on North American highways. Actually I think Canada is worse than the US when it comes to highway driving.

That'd have to be about 300 he's doing.
When the camera pans down it shows that car doing 150.
I've done 210 on an Autobahn and yeah got passed by Porsche's and so on.

The three weeks I've spent in California back in 2001 were a fascinating experience in how relaxing driving a car can be. I really enjoyed it, FAR less stressful than here in Germany.

And I say that as someone who likes to drive fast on the Autobahn.

Germany. Where the police actually pull up next to you to urge you to go faster

When it comes to laid back we are the professionals.

Did you take a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway?


Wheels

lots of videos like that on youtube.

check out the bmw 850 guy that routinely hits 300 on the autobahn!

I was once driving my old VW Beetle in the middle of the night on the corridor between East Germany and West Berlin, a large Merc zoomed by and disappeared in front, I swear I nearly stepped off my car. I thought my Beetle wasn't moving, that bad.
