Discover one of the most iconic roads in the world: the German autobahn, where the speed is free, but the rules are serious. So, if you're thinking about stepping into the land of Oktoberfest, stick here and I'll tell you everything!

First, let's understand what the Highway. Translated literally, it means “Highway for cars“. But what do we, here in Brazil, think when we hear “Highway” is that part of estrada no speed limit, right? Yes, but that's just a part of the story.

Not all roads in Germany They are free of limits, just a few specific sections. They have a golden rule: no overtaking on the right. The left lane is sacred, only for overtaking. And if you're not in a hurry, or your car isn't that good, stay on the right and leave the path clear.

Released speed, but with a keen eye

On the Autobahn, there are times when you can speed without fear of fines. But even so, the Autobahn Polizei (the special highway police) suggests that even on unlimited tracks, the ideal would be to maintain up to 130 km/h. Of course, this is more of a safety tip than a rule.

Now, if you think it's just joy, pay attention: the autobahns are monitored by cameras and the fines due to speeding are heavy. If you are caught on radar in a limit zone, my friend, prepare your wallet.

Signaling and intuitiono

But hey, driving in Highway It's not a big deal. Traffic is well signposted and intuitive. When the flow is free, you feel like you can speed up. And the electronic boards They are always there to give you a hint if the limit changes.

So, if you've always dreamed of driving in a Highway, do not be afraid. It's a unique experience, especially if you get the chance to fly one sports car. Just don't forget: respect the rules, pay attention to the signs and enjoy your freedom responsibly.

And if it's still on your wish list, you know: when you go to Germany, the Autobahn is waiting for you to test its limits – safely, of course!
