I'm quite nervous to drive in Germany since I'm so used to USA rules. I appreciate you putting this compilation out!

[@FransceneJK98]

Don’t turn right at an intersection or light unless you have a green light or there’s a green arrow allowing you to do that

[@MilindPandhare]

Thanks for very detailed and informative video.

Eigentlich wuensche ich, dass die Videos zeitlich geordnet waere. Ich finde es genauso interessant wie dein Englisch ueber die Zeit verbessert hat wie den Inhalt selbst. Es zeigt, wie Uebung den Meister macht. :)

[@chellecenina9086]

I love your video im new subscriber to your vlog. I new driving here in germany and i want to learn more about sign and rule in germany road😊

[@tristanholland6445]

Funny driving story from my time in Germany. I was in the military and stationed at Ramstein Air Base so we could get a special license to drive on German roads. You took a written test which was fairly difficult and got a license that went with your US state license. Where things got tricky was on bases the speed was posted in MPH while of course in the rest of Germany it's posted in KMH. So one night I am driving to A friends house party and I reach the exit I need to take on the autobahn and start to turn off seeing the sign that says "40" and I thought "ah I'm going 58 MPH I'm fine". By this point I see the sharp turn and realized that in MPH I am going some what too fast 😂. So I hit the breaks too hard in panic and my Honda Civic did a 180 spin. But by chance I didn't go off the road or hit the guard railing. After that I decided to just always "think in KMH".

[@yogikumar221]

[@christopherefird1517]

Im Loving your videos. Can you make a video on interacting with Polizei, Do's and Don't if they pull you over?

[@chukwuemekapetersikpeamaez914]

I so much love your channel and program. In fact, your voice is so wonderful. Although, I am planning to register to driving school the second time. If it could be possible that you have driving school. I would have start with your school. What do you think about that?

[@MugerwaMark]

no one beats your youtube video gadamn

[@sugathjayantha5907]

thanks verz good vidio

[@FransceneJK98]

In many US states, you don’t have a detailed annual inspection or Tüv. We call it getting a brake tag. You pull up and all they ask you to do is press the horn, left/right turn signal, put car in reverse, headlights and high beam and that’s it. Present your license and cash/cc and you’re good for another year or two. Trucks need it every 4 years. It’s nothing compared to Germany

[@dafrasier1]

your videos helped me with the Road signs on the Nordschleife. ha ha. I did ignore the speed limit signs at Breidscheid. no ticket yet. The Ring taxis are obeying the speed limit and slowing down. ha.

[@angelacrouch4129]

Hahaha, I always imagined the autobahn as a shorter stretch of road, in a specific area in Germany, with several lanes, and a lot of lights lining each side.😂 Kind of like a straight race track.🤦‍♀️ when my aunt spoke of herself driving on the autobahn, I thought of it as sort of like a tourist attraction highway. 😅 Something she had to go visit somewhere in Germany. I didn't realize it was just like a normal German interstate.

[@HDB316]

This is the best. You guys can't drive in the snow ,just like here in the states. Spent Christmas 🎄eve 2020 stuck for 12 hours with a girl don't know her name but she had a phone charger and I didn't. It took me hours to get out of that with my girlfriend .

[@angelacrouch4129]

That's kind of crazy, they get snow, a lot of snow, every year. Our northerners know how to drive in the snow, it's us southerners 🙋‍♀️ that can't drive in the snow. I got stuck on the interstate for 48 hours in the 2014 Atlanta snowmaggedon. But I've lived in N. Carolina where we did get snow, and I was able to drive in it. To be fair Atlanta didn't get snow that year, we got 3-4" of solid ice, and never salted the roads at all. So even my uncle from NY couldn't come rescue me, because our interstates were just ice-skating rinks. I was on my way back from visiting N Carolina though, so I was lucky, I had drinks, snacks, extra clothes, pillows, and blankets with me.

[@johnhelou3354]

vocabs 81 and 82 have a mistake in the English text (vocabs=last section of this video)

[@sorscha6590]

Had to drive on it at least twice a week, when i was stationed in Westhoven(Cologne). Between Cologne and Aachen, you had a stretch with no speed limit. And although you can drive over 120+km/h, I got stopped a few times by the "polizia"(cops) for going a bit faster (160 to 180km/h lol). They used to tell and explain that going anything over 120 was at your own risk. So if something bad happened, you wouldn't be able to relay on insurances to help with claims.

[@theta3]

Just for your information, the recommended speed is 130 km/h. If you demonstrably drive your vehicle faster than this and are involved in an accident, you are deemed to be partly at fault under insurance law.

[@FransceneJK98]

Kannst du bitte über Flitzer Blitzer sprechen? Und Tempolimit? Wenn man kein Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkungschild sieht, wie schnell darf man denn fahren?

[@cassidylockheart]

hello!! on 23:26 to 23:29 i saw a way going to right what is that iam confuse is that a exit going to right side? because i saw the marking of the road seems to me you cant drive on the right side? iam very confuse i hope you can answer thank you very much!

[@AtParmentier]

This is late, but it's a service road usually not open for the public.

[@worldbeauty7302]

Love u dear

[@DinjaDONUT]

I was already confused by Cologne (I never heard Köln in English before, only in German or Dutch (but I prefer German)) xD

[@malikupdates2839]

Im from bielefeld

[@conniepinto7147]

Hi Dave, it seems like you can't go very fast in Germany. Where I live you can go up to 120 on main highways. I like to get where I going so I am a fast driver. Anybody driving below 50 drives me crazy (lo slow).

[@thomasengel9802]

Look at the picture at 3;25 noone is moving to the right lane 🤦🏻‍♂️ Realy Realy bad

[@justalonelypoteto]

why am I watching this? I'm german, and I can drive a car...

[@SeriousApache]

Jesus Christ, German words are *L O N G*

[@angelacrouch4129]

😂😂😂😂 I watch this lady from Germany also, and when people kept telling her the words were so long she showed us a German word that was like two lines long! Just one word! I thought oh no, I'm already horrible at spelling, I'd fail everything in German! Us from America learned how to butcher our language with things like omg, Idk, we'd have hacked our words 50 years earlier if we were speaking German!
