As an Australian driver in Germany I was hugely impressed with the discipline and adherence to road rules by German drivers. They are excellent drivers who take pride in being the best drivers they can be. Not like the ignorant unskilled and incapable idiots that we have on the roads in Australia. It comes down to the national attitudes in general. I found Germans to be fiercely competitive at every thing they did. Near enough was not good enough. They always did their best. Wonderful country.

J'observe sur autoroute que les branches du volant ne sont pas horizontales. L'angle semble le même que sur mon véhicule. Lorsque vous vous engagez dans une bretelle de sortie, j'observe un court instant que lorsque les branches du volant sont horizontales le vehicule continue sa trajectoire vers la droite. Le remarquez-vous pendant la conduite ? D'après mon concessionnaire il n'y a pas de problème.
