What is the recommended speed that applies to cars and motorcycles on autobahns?

The recommended speed of 130 km/h on autobahns is known as the "Richtgeschwindigkeit" in Germany. It means that, while no general speed limit applies on some stretches of the autobahn, driving faster than 130 km/h is not advised for safety reasons. If you drive faster and are involved in an accident, you may be held partially responsible, even if the accident was caused by another driver, because you exceeded the recommended speed. Therefore, following the 130 km/h recommendation helps ensure safety and reduces risk on high-speed roads.
