At http://www.davemorris.com/Photos/Karlsruhe%20Trip/Autobahn.mpg you can 
see a short clip I shot of a 93 mph cruise on the Autobahn between 
Karlsruhe and Stuttgart back in May, going mostly uphill. Notice the little 
car that whizzes past me near the beginning of the clip.  In Germany it is 
against the law not to carry a first aid kit in your car.  And on the 
Autobahn, there is no such thing as a minor accident.
