This looks like me the first time I took an exit on the German Autobahn. I just started driving maybe a year ago, and in Austria the exits are really wide and have a wide curve radius, so they are never really an issue.
So there I was on the German Autobahn, going a little faster than I would in Austria (since it's allowed there). I'm getting to the exit, slow down what I thought was an adequate amount, and then I see that the exit is a super sharp corner.
I hit the breaks, but my old Peugeot 106 doesn't ABS, so hitting the breaks while already oversteering a little makes my rear wheels lose traction. So I ended up basically drifting around that corner. I got really lucky and everything turned out fine.
German Autobahn exits and entrees are crazy. I had the same experience and I was used to Dutch roads. In Germany they expect you to accelerate to 130 km/h in 50 meters or something.
They just want you to buy a German car or something.
