Recommend running an app like Waze that lets you see where speed cameras are. There are a lot of fixed speed cameras, but depending on the area you are in you may see a lot of mobile cameras as well. The fun part is the fine shows up a couple of weeks after you rent the car.

One of the good things is most of the rentals that I've had that came with navigation came with the "smart"navigation that display the current speed limit and can usually read road signs.

If you decide to go outside of Germany, check to see if the country requires a "vignette" toll sticker. They aren't too hard to get but can result in significant fines if you don't grab one.

I don't know if you drink alcohol, but Germany (and Europe in general) have much lower limits for what constitutes a DUI. You can get some pretty big serving sizes on beers and some of the beers carry a higher alcohol content than a standard American lager.
