I would say it's not the Autobahn that makes you safer, it's the German drivers. It costs over $1,000 to get a license in Germany, and they take all their rules VERY seriously. All you need is one of those non-German drivers who are on the Autobahn for their first time...

Drove in Germany for three years in a 911. Amazing freedom! The differential speed is very important. And when they have crashes, the cars can end up 500 meters (or more) off the highway in the field.
