I did similar trips through Germany when I was just old enough to drive. One time I was driving 200 in the left lane and a truck changed lanes just in front of me, because the driver didn't expect me to drive this fast.

I had to do an emergency break maneuver and almost crashed into the truck. Only then it dawned on me that driving this much faster than the other vehicles is very dangerous. To me it is completely nuts that this is allowed. If you want to drive fast, you can always drive on race tracks...

I rarely went over 130kmh since then, nowadays I mostly cruise at 100-110kmh, because it is the ecological sweet spot of my car and in general it's less stressful.

The Germans are aware, but there are tons of people on the road from other countries that forget sometimes.

And we may feel fancy at 200KM/h but you really have to watch out for the anry BMWs/Audi/Merc and so on that will want to pass you at 250-300KM/h.
