You forgot to mention one important, if not the most important rule on the German Autobahn. It's called "Rechtsfahrgebot" which translates to something like "obligation to drive on the right lane". You have to drive on the rightmost lane and are only allowed to change to the left to overtake and have to return to the rightmost lane as soon as possible. You are not allowed to overtake on the right side. And always be extremely careful when changing lanes to the left. Use your mirrors and turn your head and expect cars to go 240 kph (150 mph) and above on the left lane as many German cars (even small hatchbacks) can easily reach that speed.
@thomasabcd26416 жыл бұрын

Far too many don't obey this rule. I call 'em amateurs. Plus, and a very important rule in a traffic jam: the "Rettungsgasse"! A "must", even on our "Landstraßen", since 1992. It has always been a "must" on the Autobahn, ever since: On a 2 lane street (one direction): right lane has to drive maximum right. Left lane has to drive maximum left. To create a free lane in between lanes for the helpers. On a 3 lane street (one direction): right lane has to drive maximum right. To allow the center lane to drive maximum right onto the white lines. Left lane has to drive maximum left, again. It makes me ashamed, always, how people don't obey this simple rule, every day. If someone would lie on the street, a 500 meters ahead, with a cut off leg: I bet this person would wish for the ambulance ASAP to arrive. And this could be everyone of us. Police cars in Hamburg have it written on the back of theirs cars, right now: "Stau? Rettungsgasse bilden!" "Traffic jam? Create a lane for the helpers!" Bitte, Leute! SOFORT und IMMER!

My rules for the german autobahn: 1) Don't ever pass cars on the right side. Pass on the left side. Then go over right again. Always drive as far right as possible / practical and left as necessary. 2) Pay attention to speed limits. Don't speed through constuction sites. More than 20 kph over the limit will be expensive and treated more seriously by the police. 3) Always hold your distance. Be prepared for hard braking all the time. There might be a traffic jam ahead or some guy cut another off when changing lanes. 4) Talking of which, when changing lanes, always try to match speed of the lane you're changing onto before or while changing lanes. Watch your mirrors before changing lanes. Vehicles on the left side might be a lot faster than you. Always try to find gaps large enough for you to accellerate into so you don't force people to brake (much). 5) Be attentional all the time. Go with the flow. Try to anticipate other people's manouvers and mistakes. For instance, if there is someone driving on the right lane with 100-120 kph and is close behind a truck, there is a good chance he will not brake but suddenly change lanes and cut you off (I'm looking at you, Belgians!). If you're not prepared to brake immediately you're going to have a hard time braking behind them even if you are going "just" like 140-170 kph. 6) Be confident, relax and have a nice ride on the Autobahn!

Two things: People usually use the flashing lights when the traffic comes to a near or complete standstill, not necessarily when there's a speed limit coming, although that would make sense as well. A lot of bad accidents acutally happen at the end of a traffic jam when cars come chasing right into a standing car. Another thing: That white sign with the black slashes actually means that ALL previous signs are cancelled out, not only the speed limit. If the white sign with the slashes has a specific picture (a speed limit, no overtaking, priority signs etc.) on it, then ONLY that sign is cancelled out, while all the other signs are still active. Apart from these small things, you were spot on on the autobahn regulations. Really impressive!
@colasalz26 жыл бұрын
that is just a "common" thing, not a rule / law. When there is a speedlimit coming, it doesn´t make any sense to put your hazard lights on. The sighn is there to point that out, not your hazard lights.
@derradfahrer50296 жыл бұрын
One more addition to what has already been said: The white sign with slashes sets the sleedlimit back to applicable default speed limit set in the traffic/highway code. So if you're driving on the autobahn 120 > 100 > 80 > dashes => no speed limit On rural roads 80 > 70 > dashes => 100kph {but this case is a little more complicated, since there are some cases we're there is also no speed limit} On urban roads => 30 > dashes => 50kph. Then there's is the exception with zones. If you are inside a 30kph-zone and you're going into a 20kph-zone or a traffic-calming-zone. When leaving that zone you're back in the 30kph-zone and can not go up to the default speed limit.

@arthur_p_dent6 жыл бұрын
Ceilidh McPhee, speed limits are very straightforward in Germany, though. At least with normal cars not carrying trailers. Either 50 (built up areas), or 100, or no speed limit (advisory limit 130). The latter applies on any road outside of built up areas with at least two lanes in each direction or divided carriageways. ("or", not "and". Two marked lanes each way on an undivided highway is enough. Although you will, in practice, rarely ever see such a road without an explicit limit posted) So, a dual carriageway will have its limit posted. If it's not fully Autobahn standard (sharper curves, narrower lanes, no hard shoulder or whatever), it may be 120, or 100, or less. But if you see the "end of limit" sign, it's the 130 km/h advisory limit only. Even if the road is not designated as an Autobahn.
@ClaGaCla6 жыл бұрын
Exactly. Basically, the round white sign with the diagonal black slashes cancels all other round signs. And it cancels any such signs that were in effect, not just the most recent one. So, in the situation described in the video, where there was a speed limit of 80kph, then a speed limit of 50kph for a sharper curve, and then the speed limit was cancelled, the speed limit would then NOT go back to 80kph. I'm guessing this was on a Landstraße or Bundesstraße (meaning a non-Autobahn street outside of city limits). There the default (and mostly unstated) speed limit is 100kph. So after the 50kph speed limit was cancelled, the speed limit would then be 100kph.

It depends on a few things, including the car. With a Mercedes or BMW with a long wheelbase, 210 km/h is still a very comfortable driving speed. In lesser cars steering vibrations, poor suspension and noise make that speed less safe and enjoyable. In such cars even 150 km/h can feel difficult to control. I'm not German, but after having been on the autobahn it's obvious why German cars have such stellar reputations.

@Steevee5k6 жыл бұрын
The Advisory Speed Limitation actually does play a role, if you were involved in an accident, where the speed is the major cause. Then, even if you are not to blame when it comes to abiding to any other traffic rules, your car insurance can actually assign a partial guilt to you. So it is not only a mere recommendation. And two more things: One: The blue signs with white numbers don't mean that you actually have to drive above that speed. It means that your vehicle must be able to at least reach or exeed the indicated speed. Of course you are allowed and even obliged to go slower, when the traffic situation (like bad weather or traffic jams) calls for it. These signs usually come into play, when for example there is an uphill slope and if you drive a truck or a small car with a weak engine, then the lefthand lane may be blocked for you in order to keep the traffic flowing for faster vehicles. and two: The white sign with the diagonal slashes cancels out all previous limitations. Not only speed limitations, but also restrictions on overtaking and such. If you see a sign with slashed out numbers, that would cancel the speed limit only, and leave other restrictions intact.
@ThePixelaxt5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, what they got wrong is that when there was an 80 and then a 50 and after both the 50 is cancelled out, you arent't supposed to drive 80, but the speed limit is always set back to the general limit, which is 100km/h on normal streets out of town, 50km/h in town and unlimited with the recommended 130km/h on the autobahn.

Hi, I like that you actually showing more of Germany than only Berlin and Munich - as most other do. On the German Autobahn it is like this, if you do not see a speed limit sign the speed limit is open and you can drive as fast as you want. A good high speed that can be maintained for a few hours is around 130 to 150 km per hour. Usually there is a quite moving commanded, drive on the right side. But usually the most of the people drive in the middle lane. The fastest I ever went was 240 km per hour, but this is really scary and take a lot of concentration. Hope to see more of your German travels.

On the Autobahn you normally get the white crossed out sign without a number, which is "Ende aller Streckenverbote" (End of all route restrictions). It cancels out any speed restrictions as well as overtaking restrictions for trucks, for example. The white sign with the crossed out number is "Ende der Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung" (End of speed restriction"), which only cancels out a previous speed restriction, but no other restrictions. If you see those signs outside of the Autobahn, there are still the Germany-wide speed restrictions (in town: 50 km/h, out of town: 100 km/h). But on the Autobahn, you can then go as fast as you want. Getting a drivers license is quite extensive AND expensive in Germany... but on the plus side, drivers tend to be quite competent and use proper road etiquette (there's always a couple idiots, but i mean in general).

The other thing about the warning lights, when you're going 200+ you don't see every sign, sometimes even if there's multiple of them, so other people warn faster drivers. In general german drivers are so nice to each other and the etiquette of the road is so high you rarely see a crash or bad manners (waving hands, honking, shouting) really high standards.

My mom and I went on an outstanding German, Swiss, Italian, and Austrian grand tour road trip 6 months before her passing. Our rental car was a Mercedes E class. That car’s world renowned German engineering in combination with the well maintained impeccably smooth Autobahn system created an alarmingly high cruise speed! I found myself comfortably driving near 180 kmh towards the end of our time in Germany. I found it so funny to be going 180 kmh (111 mph) and have a Volvo SUV fly by me in the left lane! Top speed was 209 kmh. I miss that trip, and I miss my mom even more. I’m so grateful I was able to have that time with her and create memories that I will remember forever.

Nice Vlog. Another rule on the Autobahn would be to always drive on the right most lane when possible, so when there are three lanes do not drive on the middle one, if the right one is free. The white cancellation actually means all restriction is canceled and the normal rule is valid, you don't have to remember if there was a limit before, there would be a limit sign immediately without the cancellation. Also on overland streets there is a general limit of 100 km/h, so when there is a cancellation sign it means the general rule of 100 is valid. Depending on the traffic i would drive 150 (when no limit given) or sometimes also 220, it really depends on traffic.

The flashes are actually used to indicate an upcoming traffic jam.

What's that you're calling the place at 1:24? It looks like the Dresdner Neustadt on the opposite side of the river from downtown. I think you must be referring to the "Äußere Neustadt" (pronounced "oyseruh noyshtat", meaning the "outer new town"), which is the new part of Dresden that's outside the former city walls. The Neustadt is the part of Dresden built up in the late 19th century with architecture that's typical for that period of building all over Germany, as opposed to the Renaissance part downtown with all the restored monuments.....the tourist part that the locals avoid, unless they're going to the Opera. Real life in Dresden happens in the Neustadt, which was fortunately spared by the infamous bombing raid of Dresden.

But still, even where there is a speed limit that 'makes sense'; if the road conditions are good and you're in a car that handles corners well you can definitely go faster through those; although you'd still get fucked if there was a random car parked right in a bad visibility turn.

This is why most saloons and mid-range cars in Europe are very well made and have good sound insulation. The Germans produce these cars, while they have themselves been living all their life with the autobahn. If the cars are no good for driving at those speeds, then they will not be well reviewed and accepted by people. Also the cars need to 'feel' comfortable at those speeds, no weaving about, no weird sounds, they need to be planted on the road. Also, the hazards being used for a sudden slow down is kind of an unspoken rule in Europe. We all use them when we are driving at speed and see roadwork or traffic ahead, in order to alert the drivers behind of the threat. It is some sort of camaraderie and is it taught in Driving School.
@rainerfuchs27886 жыл бұрын
100mph is a good cruising speed on the Autobahn. But to avoid to get tired its sometime better to speed up to 120mph. So you are more consentrated on the traffic. And if the right or middle lane is free you have to leave the fast line otherwise you would block the fastline even with 120mph. There is always a car which is faster than you. In Europe there a lot of countries and a lot of differnent languages. So it make sences to use pictures instead of texts. So you can understand the signs even if you can't read the language.

And the speed difference to slower vehicles is not that big that it might become dangerous.

@rp Hi "Hmm, give a German a speed limit and he will (usually) exceed it by 20 - 30 km/h. Maybe, it's 'cause of the low punishment." Maybe because the speed limit is 20 - 30 km/h too slow. In Germany speedlimits are set in function of the conditions like roadworks and/or weather. By the way, Germans can drive as fast as they want only when conditions don't forbid it. In France, speedlimits are set by type of roads : - Highway/motorway : 130km/h (110 when it rains, or in case of pollution peak), no matter how good is the road ; no matter how alone you are ; Sometimes, you won't know why, the speedlimit will set a slower pace, while the road will not have changed. (That's France !) - express ways : 110km/h (90 when it rains, or pollution peak); 90km/h, and even 70km/h, depending on cities.(in pollution peak, dock 20km/h off the speedlimit) - roads are limited at 80km/h since July. in cities : 50km/h; sometimes 30km/h. You are not allowed to drive above these limits. Millions of driving licences are vanished each year in France. See the point ?
@SanojBerg5 жыл бұрын
STF The way you explained it for France with general speed limits is actually true for most countries (possibly with other specific speeds though). And also in Germany most speed limits are based on the type of the road. Only on the “Autobahn” (highway) there is no speed limit respectively a speed limit based on conditions. And “based on conditions” doesn’t mean if you think the conditions allow faster driving you can just drive faster. If there is a speed limit and you go faster you may have to pay a fine, get “penalty points” or even lose your license as well. If there are no other signs on country roads (not Autobahn, not in a city) you may drive 100 km/h and in the city 50 km/h.

Indeed, top speed and average speed are two completely different things. In fact, 85mph would be an extremely impressive average speed. Even driving a car that can go 250 km/h, and always going pedal to the metal when no speed limit is posted and traffic conditions allow it, you'd be VERY lucky to end up maintaining a 135 km/h average over a long distance. In fact, you'd be lucky to save half an hour over the distance of 500 kilometer against a guy who strictly adheres to the 130 km/h "Richtgeschwindigkeit". Even if you didn't need to make an extra pit stop to pick up some fuel, which however would be extremely likely - if you travel at speeds like that, you can literally watch you fuel gauge move to zero.

I had to drive through Germany a few years back. So looking forward to experiencing the Autobahn, however, within 10 minutes of being on it, I was sat in tail to tail traffic. 3 hours past and we had travelled no more than 15 miles. Eventually it cleared, and so I floored it, here we go. I was sat doing 110mph as I wanted to build up slowly, but noticed no one was over-taking me. I thought it was strange as it went against what I had thought the Autobahn was like. I kept checking as cars were behind me, however they were keeping their distance for some reason. I had a proper look in my mirror and could see black smoke coming out of the rear. I immediately pulled over to see if it was a tyre about to burst. They looked fine, weird. I checked under the hood, and there it was. The turbo pipe had cracked and so the engine was being flooded with a high fuel mix. I proceeded to drive the rest of the 500 miles at 55mph as that was the highest I could go without belching out black smoke. My unrestricted Autobahn experience lasted 10 minutes...

Also there are different licenses for different vehicles like motorbikes (even different classifications of bikes), driving with trailers of different sizes and weights (meaning the weight the trailer can load at max) or for driving trucks or busses. And you arn't allowed to drive any of these without the right license for the right vehicle.

As a user of the Autobahn for the past 30 years, I'd say your description, as Americans, on the subject is one of the better ones :-). As to the Americans general lack of education on driving, is based on your need of cars, due to the vast distances and lack of public transport at home, so you start out early and drive untill being very old, where in Europe and Germany especially, the birthplace of the car and the fastest cars, it's naturally more demanding, when it comes to car transportation and taking the drivers ed. Cars in the US are more lounge chairs with coup holders, where in Germany, they are the latest technical wonders, unfortunatelly however, due to the open borders in the EU and the amount of vehicles on the roads, even in Germany, the discipline behind the wheel is sadly getting worse, why the speed restrictions are more popular. As to the variuos traffic signs, Germany follows the Geneva convention standards (the later Vienna convention), which the US unfortunatelly dosen't use. Where the majority of the industrialised world and even behind the iron curtain, when it existed, is using pictures as road signs to accommodate foreigners, the US still mainly is proned to use written words in English, which is kind of ironic, considered that the US consist of immigrants....
