Great report...esp the snow parts!
Curious as to why the hiker punched your friend in the arm, but I think you were wise to just keep moving. From living here it seems to be a Swiss trait to try to tell people what to do. Where I come from that's the job of the police and you mind your own bloody business or else you risk physical confrontations. In Canada it's a baseball bat...in the US who knows!
When driving through Germany, despite the theoretical spead appeal of autobahns, I avoid them like the plague. Only use them late at night or early in the morning. What you want are called 'schnellstrasse' which is like a two lane mini-autobahn with much less traffic, or even better a 'landstrasse'. The speed limit is still 100 km/h on these and much less stressful.
PS: I keep double XL rubber kitchen washing up gloves (pull over the leather gloves) rolled up in my tank bag...since you seem to attract rain and snow...
