I have been told that driving in Germany was so dangerous that Americans often would not do so.

No. German drivers are good. The most dangerous drivers in Europe are the British.

I do not know any measure by which British Drivers are more dangerous
than German drivers. Yes, German drivers are good (to a very large
extent) but they risk compensate and use their skill for driving
recklessly fast.

What is certainly extremely dangerous is when American tourists rent a
fast car and try to drive like the Germans, without the regular practice
of looking at the traffic half a mile ahead that you need if you wish to
drive 50 mph faster than the guy on the other lane (you need to
anticipate lane changes perfectly for that driving style).

You gave us the measure of German superiority yourself: practice at very high speed driving and its attendant anticipations.
