Germans may all speak English, but all the signs are in German, so you're sure to be unable to understand them. However, the operation is basically the same throughout Europe. When parking on the roadside, you need to buy tickets yourself on the parking meter, and you can decide how many hours you want, including some outdoor parking lots in the city center, which are all self-service and definitely unmanned.

Overall, driving in Germany is much easier than driving domestically. No one changes lanes randomly, and as long as you see the road rights signs and follow the order of road rights, you can go ahead. You won't have to slow down and observe like you do in China when you come to an intersection, just in case a car comes out ? Germany Q&A

Yesterday when going down the slope of B500, the speed was greater than 80 and less than 70 (the speed limit is 70). I only noticed when I was close that there was a police car on the right side of the road in front of the car, and there was a police officer who seemed to be holding something (suspected to be a speed detector). He didn't let me stop, and I came directly. If a ticket is issued in this situation, how should it be calculated ? Germany Q&A

In Germany, there is a fine of 30 euros for illegal parking, which was paid by transferring the money to a local Chinese person. After returning the car, a notification was received that the full deposit of 1000 euros would be refunded within an hour. Recently, an email was received, which seems to be a charge of 24 euros from the car rental company. Is this the so-called penalty management service fee? How can this be transferred in China, and what are the consequences if it is not paid? Does anyone know ? Germany Q&A

Violations generally do not receive information so quickly, unless they are fines issued on the spot. The pre-authorized deduction should be part of the fees charged by the car rental company other than the car rental. Please carefully check the bill to see if there are any fees that you did not notice. The car rental company will not help you handle violations, so they will not pre-authorize fees to handle them ?
