What is the maximum speed you have driven at the Autobahn?

Travel Tips
There is no maximum speed on some Autobahns, the suggested speed for the Autobahn is 130 kph. There are also limits posted when you are close to a major intersection or city, usually 120 kph, but varies the closer you get to the city. Some older stretches have a maximum of 130. Cars pulling trailers and Lkw's (semi's) have a maximum of 100 kph. Some stretches also are varied, they have signs that change the speed limit from unlimited to 60 kph...again these are near cities and major intersections.

Where there are posted speed limits, there are also very well hidden radar traps...so if you get blitzed by a red light...you'll be receiving a speeding ticket in the mail with the license number of the auto and all passengers in the front seat. There is also roaming radar, if you get tagged you must pay the fine immediately. Any speeding infractions under 25kph over the posted limit are a normal speeding ticket...anything over is considered a criminal offence and you will be paying a very hefty fine (upwards from 500 Euro) and loss of driving privileges immediately (make sure there's someone else in the car with a driver's licence).

Almost everybody is saying German cars are governed at 250 kmph...FALSE...my son-in-law (drives a fat beamer) and I drove the A6 between 260 & 290. I admit it's a little nervy. So if your car can go 300 kmph...go for it. The police will only stop you if you are driving dangeriouly or just driving like a jerk. Source(s): Drive Autobahn everyday from Weissenfels to Leipzig.

Other Travel Tips
Do you really have that much spare time?
176 mph
Just under 300 km/h

The Richtgeschwindigkeit is 130kn/h
as fast as the car can go ..but make sure your in an area that alows that
Posted signs tell you either 120 k麓s (75 mls) or 100 or whatever.
When there are no posted signs,the "RECOMMENDED SPEED"
is 130 k麓s (80 mls),but you can legally drive as fast as you like,
considering your and the other drivers` safety.
