A few random bits and pieces:

My high school German teacher grew up in Germany and visited every year
(this about 10 years ago). He used to say that the number of lanes in
city traffic there was inversely proportional to the width of the cars
negotiating it!

I understand that the per capita fatalities in traffic accidents
are higher in Germany than they are here, if not the actual number
of accidents. I believe the Germans are extremely efficient about
cleaning things up and getting traffic moving again; much more so than
here. That would explain why you don't see as many accidents. Any Germans
on the net to verify or qualify?
