It has deffinately flashed me more times. Although I don't think I went as fast those times. As you say, it felt so weired that I assumed it was something else.

All cars around me went super slow there, so I have to admit I havent felt too comfy about it.

What I find is a good rule of thumb is if the cars with the local licence plates slow down or speed up then that is a sign to follow what they do.

If the guy is not local like a Dusseldorf plate in a Koln area then those are not locals.

The speed limit is so outlandish I thought the first few times I had misunderstood it as cars went past me at 100.

Cheers.

If it s only written money to pay, as a foreigner, no problem at all, you can decide to pay or not, so many times for me, but if they ask you to send your driving license, because too high over speed when I was arrested on 8 April 2014, even I read letters I would never send my French driving license to Speyer central, but I should have written answer: I don't understand German, they can forbid me to drive in Germany, but they can t take my foreign driving license if I'm not prosecuted and at this time I was not. Because I didn't answer to defend my rights, they consider I kept on driving when I was forbidden because I didn't send my license. Because I didn't read and answer, I get this criminal complaint when I was only asked to pay, after alcohol test and many questions, for over speed more than 100. Speed don t seem to be a big problem in Germany compare to France, but if you don't defend your rights, they can catch you more than 2 years and half later.

Sirioja,

To clarify, is this reason to explain the cryptic references you make randomly that you are no longer allowed to drive in Germany and why you now go to the Swiss clubs instead?

[Optimist]

Ofcourse, and as mentionned, google translate had no problems. Resent answer about a week ago. Point was just the long word. Fines are not too high in germany. It was just one point also... so no biggie. But I am more worried about that same box having flashed at me more times as I have passed it more than once a bit above. It was near Cologne on the autobahn just before some roadworks. Then again, only time will tell.

That is a really nasty box. A sudden 60 kph speed limit on the A3 three lane wide with usually light traffic as you approach Koln from the south. It has been there for at least a year. Hope it didn't flash you more than the once.

Reply with "Iwasdrivingreallyfasttogettothehookers".

Good one. I might add a bit there: "HadabonersoIwasdrivingreallyfasttogettothehookers".

Now it has double reasoning also.

Siri: so you are saying I don't have to pay it when the probable bill arrives? I just assume I will get one as I googled and found it to be 90euro. The letter I got just said something like this:

"Unless you express your opinnion on the charge, a fine may be issued against you without further hearing"

So maybe better to read and answer than fighting with Polizei, Germany is sometimes not relaxing.

Who the hell would want the British Isles? The only good thing coming from there is Single Malt Whisky. And that's Scotland.

HB.

BTW the term 'British isles' also includes the whole of the island of Ireland! The Republic of Ireland is a country, perhaps the only one in the world where foreigners tend to give a huge smile at the mention of it! It is and always strives to be a friend to the world at all times! Unfortunately, that doesn't extend to Irish People / Irish State being a friend to its own people!

Actually, thanks to Article 634.56 d of the Lisbon treaty signed by Gordon Brown in 2008, the Beatles are now technically French.

Yes well, they earned their chops and built their reputation by working the clubs of Hamburg, Germany. So! The Germans apparently liked something British straight out of Liverpool haha!

[Citizen Kane]

They've punched way over their weight in terms of music, film / TV and comedians.

Most long German words seem to be just sentences with the spaces taken out.

That's the key to the long words.

British real ale and craft beer is king with its variety, creativity and innovation. Unlike German beer it does not have to adhere to an archaic list of ingredients.

HB. As a longstanding harsh critic of the British I think I can reasonably jump to their defence. The stupidity of the British has been encouraged by the appalling politicians: in areas where the politicians give a good lead such as London, you will find the British to be enterprising and pleasant.

I know you were only responding to unwarranted attacks on Germany, so no problem. .

As for the respective intellectual requirements for repective languages there is a wealth of linguistic philosophy.

If I wanted to be provocative I could blame the French for the English language in its current form as it results from the forced introduction of French on the existing EngIsh after 1066 , or maybe I should blame all non native English speakers as, being a universal language, world english works down to the simplest level possible and has no poetry or intellectual finesse, unlike English English used properly (increasingly rare)

Or that english is a language for people who don't care about rules but want to achieve immediate goals at the expense of longterm goals. German is perhaps the opposite.

In conclusion, I can't think why the Germans would want the British. However you are still stuck with the French in the EU lol

My real fear is that Germany might follow Britain and become intoletant and narrowminded: this would mean the end of FKK
