Similar happened to me. It was a McLaren SLR. Yum.
I do wonder what he'd have done if I hadn't spotted his single headlight flash.

i was going through germany to belgium a few years ago, up near aachen there's a real long straight must be over a mile
I was in the middle lane,
checked my mirror, nothing there
pulled out to over take the car in front
then noticed a single flash of head lights from a car which I could hardly see in the distance behind me....
did the gentlemanly thing, this is germany, let's not f/e/c/k about...
pulled back in...
a matter of seconds later a porsche 911 came past so fast that my car was shaken like when a gust of high wind gets you
Milan.

If you drive fast enough, it rarely happens. Though there's always a coach that'll pull out to overtake, doing just over 100kph.
Stop off at Rust, take in europapark. Not for the kids - for yourself.

Done many a contract in Southern Germany so driven the route a lot. In Friedrichshafen now.
Not sure about with kids but it is about an 8 hour hit to Munich from Calais then 1.5 hours to Salzburg.
Some people do the peages through France but I would suggest the Belgium, Holland, Lux, Germany routes are as quick and only add about 120 miles.

Driving on the German roads is an experience. They have a set of rules and an etiquette, unlike driving darn sarf , where its dog eat dog

No problem but watch out for school holidays, France or Germany. They all go on holiday together. In Germany the states are staggered. Nord-Rhein Westphalia will clog up the Autobahn. These days everyone has air conditioning, in July if it is good weather will be well into the 30´s.

you'll be fine we do a lot of driving through europe with a 2 and 4yr old
the best investment was the built in roof mounted dvd player in the car
the motorway services in germany and austria are top notch, look for the 'Rosenburger' motorway services in austria fantastic
make sure to do the sound of music tour in salzburg
have fun, make plenty of stops, keep playing dvd's and children's cd's and you will be fine
Milan.

Is this too far to travel with a 5 yr old and a 3 yr old ? We are planning on stopping off half way through. Any advice or ideas where to stop off from anyone please ?
