My limited experience of the german autobahns ( unfortunately always as 
a passenger ) is that this road sharing thing is pretty one way:  If you 
don't happen to see the Porsche 911 coming up behind you at 150mph+ he 
(or she) will dissapear up your arse 'cause it's assumed that you will 
give way. Overtaking is done at your own peril!  Having said that, it's 
definitely better than the motorways in the UK where everyone is 
determined to hog the outside lane. Usually you have to go far too close 
before people will think to let you past.
