I have my driving licence since January, and hadn't been on any big trips (no further than 100 km) before EF. And I can say I didn't really have any trouble driving. In fact I like German roads a lot more than Dutch ones! So any scary stories are likely unfounded or at least exaggerated, if even a noob like me can do it.

Super Swede:
Epic! ^_^

I'm not überfond of german roads, when comparing them to swedish roads they feel rather nasty :P

CodeCat:
The only thing scary about them is probably the speed. But as long as you have some common sense while driving, it's not that bad. Just stick to the right except when overtaking, and if you're on the left, move into the right if a faster car wants to pass. The same applies on 3-lane roads, except that the really fast cars just stick to the left lane.

Having read that, I managed to push my car to 180 kph and still saw someone willing to take me over... After that speed 80 kph looks like a snails pase.

CodeCat:
I drove at 110-120 km/h on average and I had no trouble with faster cars. Only a few that would flash their lights for me to get out of the way, but as I was overtaking, they just had to wait.
