German autobahns?

<applause> Stand easy that man!

 

I have two Mercedes wing mirrors to my credit. I also parked the 'Bird
near enough *in* another Merc when he decided to leave the door open.
Bloody funny watching a fat old geazer trying to get to the drivers seat
via the passenger seat. Lucky I wasn't in a rush...

 

He stopped on an autobahn to ask the way to Poland...

 

Norwegians are championship contenders IME.

 

And Notausfhart is not an entrance.

 

Well, sometimes... Eons ago, I stayed in Germany after I got out of
the army. The band Chicago was on tour. I went to the venue a couple
of hours before the show in my best hippie duds. I went around back
and saw an old geezer guarding a Notausgang. I went up to him and said
in simple English, "I'm with the band." It might as well been "Open
Sesame." He opened the door and waved me in.

 

S'possible, although I'm not aware of it. No, I think it's just that
most of the time they drink in moderation, but when there's an
officially sanctioned party event they go mad. So Fasnacht in Basel,
for example, is a three-day orgy of 24-hour boozing for many people,
and Swiss National Day (Aug 1st) isn't far behind.

Remember, in Switzerland if it's not illegal it may still be verboten,
but if it's not even verboten then it's compulsory.

 

And 'Autobahns' is not the plural of 'Autobahn'.

HTH.

Not so, a flash of the headlamp at a suitable distance has always been
allowed as an indication of your intention to overtake, this allows the
driver in front to pull over when safe to do so if they are, for
instance, making an overtake themselves.
What is not allowed is coming up behind someone at 200 kph, braking like
a bastard and flashing like a **** while sitting inside the boot(trunk
for the OP ).

The important thing is that you are required to keep to the right unless
overtaking. Cruising in lane 2 of 3 when there is plenty of room in lane
1 will attract the ire of the Autobahnpolizei who will make a request
for a donation the finds of the state.

I particularly commend the above paragraph to the OP as, should he be
traveling on a quiet stretch, it is easy to sink into "the American way"
on these roads. As has been pointed out, if you upset the master race
they now have their handies(cells) to drop you right in it.

 

And so they should. It's a shame the cops here don't do the same.

 

Fairy muff, I stand corrected. It was an ex-bint (German) who told me
that, _circa_ 1997 when we drove from Scotland to Stuttgart for her
sister's wedding.

I thought we were slipping there for a moment, but the Northern Territory

Having been on a Norwegian booze cruise to Denmark I'll not dispute that
at all.

 

Sure, if you want to use the Lloyds TSB trademark rather than the
generic term.
