I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was. Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

Erm.. I dont think Im seeing that right. At 11 secs on video is he doing 299 kmph when a black car casually passes him?? If so it rather ruins it for me.

It's not really an issue over there. Personally I wouldn't and have never driven that fast when gefahring on an autobahn, but also remember that 299kph is "only" 185mph.
Couple of things to remember:
1. They don't have a Highway Code, they have Road Traffic Law. 2. They have to pass stringent tests before their driving test proper. 3. They have stringent liability for any RTA's. 4. The autobahn's, an invention of Nazi Germany btw, are designed to be as straight as possible and for speed. 5. German drivers are much more courteous due to 1, 2, & 3.
As a soldier I was still required to pass the same tests before being allowed on the road - we had a miserable British civilian in our MT section who ran these tests and failed anyone for any excuse (and probably rightly so), he had the sobriquet of "Harry the Bastard" unsurprisingly.
My driving lessons also involved driving on an autobahn, which is a distinct advantage over UK learners.
