Survival tips:
Anticipate the stupidity (and carelessness) of other drivers ahead
Never underestimate aqua-planning, even at low speeds (the only reason why any car would hit a wall or bridge pillar frontally)
BIG Trucks --> exploding tyres or sudden lane changes or you name it

Knowing your car and conditions in general can make legal high speed travelling safe(r)...but you'll never know the actions of other drivers...ALWAYS EXPECT THE WORST and anticipate them...that is your life insurance for the Autobahn.

Just imagine going @+150mph left lane...sudden lane change of another car @50mph...EXPECT THE WORST

I've avoided this thread as I know reading too much would just annoy the heck out of me. I'm a big believer of staying within a reasonable amount of the speed limit and just generally not driving like a jerk.

Many have said - I anticipate, or, I only do it when no one is around, or some other such nonsense.

Seriously - if you want to drive like a jerk and put everyone's safety in jeopardy - go to the track. That's why we have tracks. And to talk about anticipating things - mechanical failures happen. Tires do blowout. I would bet that most people who get in an accident 'didn't mean to'.

Oh well, I guess this thread does help separate the selfish from those who actually think of others.
