On the expressway, the LED sign hanging above the bridge shows a speed limit of 80. Is it wrong for me to follow it ?

Only when overtaking can you be in the leftmost lane. If you are not in the leftmost lane, no one will flash.

Local people will also speed up in places without electronic eyes. Just follow the car in front of you and don't take the lead, otherwise you are likely to be photographed.

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

Yeah, I was driving with my heart in my throat, afraid of holding up the cars behind me, and not daring to insert myself between two big cars. It was really not easy. Also, may I ask you: in the city, the speed limit is 30, and there are no cars in front of me. I'm also not daring to exceed the speed limit, driving like a plodding ox, pressing on the cars behind me. I always feel guilty about it ? Germany Q&A

Then they gave me a piece of paper and a parking card, and I went to get the car myself. No one was in charge. When I got there, I found scratches on the back of the car. After taking a picture, I caught a passing staff member and told him about the situation. He then took a picture and registered it on his phone, and asked me to sign. I wonder how it will be when I return the car? Overall, the process of getting the car is not complicated, but the experience is not good ? Germany Q&A

Thanks, but 1000 km is still cross-border, I can only think about it. I'd better drive from Munich to Cologne, turn around and run a part of the Black Forest trip. I leave for Berlin on July 15 and pick up the car in Munich on the 17th. I will take two boys with me. Do you have any friends who are traveling together by chance ? 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
