Our American Parents on the German Autobahn for the First Time + DAD DROVE! (record speeds!!) 🚙

The safety on the German autobahn comes down to one thing: the drivers. The general fear of someone cutting right in front of you is something I have in the back of my mind every time I go fast but I also gotta admit in 30 years of driving on the Autobahn it only happened to me two or three times. Drivers here generally pay attention and that is what makes driving safer than in the US.

A few years ago I was on Autobahn coming back from the Netherlands and had a work mate from Sweden in the car who needed to come to our office in germany. It was in the very early morning at sunrise we were almost alone on the track, Rental company upgraded us to Audi A6. As soon as we were over the border to germany and the Speedlimit fell I pushed. Didn't notice he stopped talking... after some time there was more traffic so I dropped below 200 km/h and then heard some whispering next to me. Oh man, I'm still sorry... he looked so scared. When he recovered a little more he said "Thanks, now I know that I don't need to go 240 in a car ever again. Next time I''ll fly, but not in a car." Rest of the drive was very funny.

I worked in Germany years ago and while trying to find our hotel we got lost , it was late at night and asked a couple for directions , they said follow us and we drove 50 minutes they took us there , I don't think us British would do that ! Lovely people , lovely country everywhere we went we felt welcomed , us British could learn a few things of them 😀

Lived in Germany for 3 years, loved it! I married later in life and spoke of Germany often to my wife, I finally took her there in 2017, she loved it and understood why it's such a wonderful place....

I live in Germany, mostly I am driving 200 km per hour or more. It takes time and experience to drive that fast, and always remember to drive secure and considering all options of what the other slower drivers can do.

I immediately melted into a puddle when Willa said 'welcome to germany' 😭

Willa is just so adorable. The way she says Germany makes my heart jump🥺

I always say that I feel safer in Germany because I think that I have a good idea of what the other drivers are going to do. In the USA, on the whole,I haven‘t got a clue what the other drivers are going to do!

I lived a year in the US some years ago and my driving experience there was overall awful. I think for the most part the procedure to get a drivers license is way too simple and the cars are often badly maintained.

Years ago a friend of mine lost his license and asked me to drive his car because it was parked in a garage for months. I headed to the nearby autobahn and he told me to drive faster. After a while I asked " is 140 km per hour fast enough " ? He gave me a dirty smile and answered " that's 140 miles per hour, it's an american car " . I didn't even notice it .

Loved when your dad said it could pass for Virginia or Nashville, etc. I live in Virginia, and having been to Germany many times, I had that same impression. Have a great visit with your family!

I hope your parents enjoy their stay in Germany/Europe.

It is nice to have your family visiting you, enjoy these preciouse moments with them, and looking forward to seeing more videos

Happy easter ☺. I' m almost sure you all enjoy your time together. Willas talking ist so cute ☺. All the best.

Hi guys, first of all, WELCOME to Germany. Good to see Risa smiling and happy and so excited to see her parents after a long time. Also Willa being happy and omg, she already speaks so good, so much with a smile on her face. I am sure and her gramdparents were amzed about her growing so fast, developing so quickly. I wish you a nice and exciting time together. Tanner, compared to your first driving video you look very much realaxed now driving and yes, fuel efficency driving is good and you always know that you have still power left in case it comes to a critical situation and you need power to get out of it. Same as I do, in case there is no time pressure behind. From some women I also know, they just push down the accelerator and thats it. Steve looked very relaxed driving. He can handle it, well done. Wish you all a nice easter break and for Willa lots of sweets=chocolate.

Thank you so much for this vid! I love so much seeing peoples reaction to things in Germany. Is so fun to see what they think, love this!

I hope your parents enjoy Germany!

Frohe Ostern wünsche ich euch. Genießt die Zeit mit euren Lieben.

Funny to see how dad's grin got larger when Tanner passed the 110 mark... For me it's just so satisfying when my car switches to it's last gear passing 124 :-) Of course there are prerequisites for that: rules, caution, foresight and practice, practice, practice

The thing is "driving in your comfort zone" is absolutely always the right thing to do BUT always just in the for that right lane. According to speed the actual car plays a huge role..in your "family car" 170 km/h feels totally different = "actual feeling being on the limit" than in a car which can go way faster than that, where 170 km/h feels like driving just 100 km/h.
