The motorway leading to Berlin is a typical well built autobahn. The German autobahns are famous for being some of the few public roads in the world without blanket speed limits for cars. The average automobile speed traveled on the autobahn is about 150 km/h. 18 wheelers trucks normally go at 120 km/hr.Our average speed was 145 to 150 km/hr. At this pace our 2.5 L engine was already screaming at 3000 rpm. You don’t feel the speed at all as most cars also traveled at the same speed. Even at this speed, there are still many cars whizzing past us at incredibly higher speed. But with cruise control, driving through 300 to 400 km of road distance, on this nicely built and straight autobahn seems very relaxing and quick indeed. Imagine if we have similar autobahn from Bandar to Belait which is a distance of 110 km, it would take less than 45 minutes.
