When driving, there will be a display on the car, if you exceed the speed limit, the outer circle of the speed limit number will turn red. The fine can be either caught on the spot or photographed by an electronic eye. The on-site police will issue a ticket, while the one photographed may take a little longer to send you a ticket. Generally, speeding by more than 10% is considered speeding. Similar to our country, the more you exceed, the more you will be fined.

Just asking, when entering a town, if the speed is displayed as exceeding the limit, will I be fined for taking pictures? The navigation hasn't displayed the speed limit yet, and there are no speed limit signs on the side of the road. I know I need to slow down when passing through towns, but I haven't slowed down to 50 yet, and suddenly I see a speed trap. This has happened three times. Will I be fined ? Germany Q&A

I really don't understand why you keep occupying the fast lane? First of all, there is no expressway in Germany that has no speed limit throughout the section. Therefore, it is impossible to drive at 130-150 if so, you can only say that you have violated the rules. Secondly, after overtaking, give way to the leftmost lane is the most basic rule ?

I'm not used to the frequent changes of speed limit signs in Germany. After driving at 120km/h for a while, suddenly there's a sign indicating 80km/h. It's uncomfortable to brake hard, and the car behind me must have cursed me to death. So I had to slow down gradually afterwards, but in fact I had already entered the speed limit for some time. I'm not sure what the design of this kind of speed limit is for in Germany ? 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 ?

Some people are willing to save tens of yuan a day, carefully checking scratches when picking up and returning the car, and paying first and then claiming compensation when an accident occurs. Some people are willing to spend money to save trouble, leaving the keys and walking away after returning the car. It's just a matter of personal habit ? Germany Q&A
