A few minutes later:

You can tell he is American because he blocks the left line while the right lane is free
What’s not on the picture: The BMW approaching in the rear-view mirror flashing the long beams.
Remember, no matter how fast you go on the Autobahn, there is always someone faster than you.
And 15cm behind the BMW is a white rusty Mercedes Sprinter
And behind it is a Golf gti 1994 sleeper
Was’n dat für’n Kombi??
I doubt most Americans would do that. I had American friends visit and they asked me to slow down at like 160 km/h.
Goodness, 168 mph. I can’t imagine driving that fast.
From my experience, on a strait road, 160 doesn’t really feel that fast once you get up to speed. In fact, it doesn’t really feel any different than going a normal speed.
How do you cross the Autobahn without dying?
Or is it simply best to never do that?
You don’t. Autobahnen usually exist between cities, and are separate from other types of traffic. Your vehicle also needs to meet a minimum speed requirement to be allowed on. When an Autobahn runs through a city, there’s usually a grade separation.
The signs below the speed limit (probably, cause pixels) say “bei Nässe”, which means “only when wet”. So assuming this is an Autobahn, and it does look like one, it’s probably fine.
It says 6-19 which means the speed limit is 100kmh in-between those hours.
