The crazy thing is that the Autobahns are not exactly safe ... Sure, millions of people drive on them every day and most of them will never be in an accident. Still there are about 15000 accidents per year on the Autobahns [1].

More anecdotally, my SO was commuting on the A2 for about a year. She saw the aftermaths of (minor) accidents basically every day and was the first car not to collide in a pile up twice.

(To be fair, most accidents on the A2 happen on that stretch around Gütersloh iirc.)
