This looks like me the first time I took an exit on the German Autobahn. I just started driving maybe a year ago, and in Austria the exits are really wide and have a wide curve radius, so they are never really an issue.
So there I was on the German Autobahn, going a little faster than I would in Austria (since it's allowed there). I'm getting to the exit, slow down what I thought was an adequate amount, and then I see that the exit is a super sharp corner.
I hit the breaks, but my old Peugeot 106 doesn't ABS, so hitting the breaks while already oversteering a little makes my rear wheels lose traction. So I ended up basically drifting around that corner. I got really lucky and everything turned out fine.

I found his life story mildly entertaining.
Actually, I am not in Germany, nor am I from Germany. Thought, that story made it clear.
But judging from the upvotes, a few other people found it worth their time ;)
Like all great Germans your actually Austrian
There are some very not great Germans who were actually Austrians...
"Great" doesn't necessarily mean "good".
Fair point.
German Autobahn exits and entrees are crazy. I had the same experience and I was used to Dutch roads. In Germany they expect you to accelerate to 130 km/h in 50 meters or something.
They just want you to buy a German car or something.
