The Stones are Portuguese.

So! The Germans apparently liked something British straight out of Liverpool haha!
[QUOTE=HessenBub;1977446]Who the hell would want the British Isles? The only good thing coming from there is Single Malt Whisky. And that's Scotland.
HB.[/QUOTE]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!

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

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.

[QUOTE=CitizenKane;1977845]Reply with "Iwasdrivingreallyfasttogettothehookers".[/QUOTE]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"

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

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?

Cheers.[/QUOTE]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.

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

Just keep to the speed limit. About 10 km / h over the speed limit according to the speedometer should keep you on the safe side.
HB.

They have to know you understood what you were written, before being prosecuted, this is European or US law, I'm pretty sure they are not able to write in your language. Keep your answer letter when you return to Germany and enjoy your money with Andra or Mandy. I don't think we will see again Mersi. We are not a Globe Romanian prostitute, but my GF who gave me a great Swiss Christmas today, she was so sexy, with glasses like at World on May 2014 and so skillful, who was stolen 2000 CHF by Swiss police, scaring her because they knew she is a registered Romanian prostitute in Zurich. If police don't respect laws, will have to teach them, even with Romanian prostitutes. Easier money than catching pimps around or in brothels. Laws are not only for us, but also for police and justice, everybody have rights, to understand, to defend, not to be stolen.

Without Kate and no more warm swimming pool, even Isabella was only for me today from 11.30 am until 5.30 pm when I left for ski, top GFE in and out of New York, discotheque blue light, room, Globe is not so great for me now, but I found great History even I know I will have problem with my 3 girls and also Amelia to try, but I enjoy top GFE beauties. Have to discover Westside close to German border with entry 60 and 63/30 mn, with Swiss WGs services quality I experienced, so after 28 , Germany will not be a first choice, of course I will return to Kate Aca to celebrate, maybe Kity, and we wished Merry Christmas with Megan, but as say my only friend in FKK, the most attractive in Germany for me may be autobahns, mostly at night to avoid traffic.
Are you speeding on Swiss hihways also?
