Is there any sign in the sensing area? How do I know where to stop?

The left turn signal in Germany is sensor-based. Your car must reach the road sensor area, otherwise the traffic light will always be red. Once, I stopped at an intersection for a long time, and the car behind me formed a long queue. I went down and asked the person behind me to understand.

Many intersections in Germany are like this. The red light will be displayed, but the green light will not. When I was in Munich, I encountered the situation you described, where the green light was not displayed, and I dared not go. Later, the car behind me beeped to remind me to go, so I went, and his car followed.

Excuse me, how do you drive at a roundabout in Germany? If the entrance is a red circle, you don't need to turn on your right turn signal. Cars inside the roundabout have the right of way, which means that you should let the car coming from your left go first. After the car on your left has gone, can you go? Also, do you need to turn on your right turn signal when the exit is green? Even if I am going straight out? Is that how it's understood ? Germany Q&A

Encountered a crossroads turning left in Munich, there was only one light, and when it showed green, the opposite car came over and I dared not go. As a result, the red light stopped the opposite car and we went, but looking back, all the cars behind us were stopped. I wonder if I will be photographed ? Germany Q&A

Help, on June 22nd, I was driving in Germany from Berlin to Munich and the King's Lake. When I rented the car, there was a pre-authorization of 124 euros. After returning to my country, I checked at the end of July and found that it had been unfrozen, so I thought everything was fine. However, on August 6th, the bank called me and informed me that there was a pre-sale right of around 29 points, which they said was the handling fee of the car rental company. It should be due to a traffic violation, and the German police will send a notice of violation to the address I provided in my country. I don't know how to pay the fine. Also, the address I provided is my driver's license address, which has been demolished, so I won't be able to receive any notification. How can I pay the fine, and what are the consequences if I don't pay it ? Germany Q&A

Do you know this? In Germany when driving, if there is no traffic sign, the principle is that the right has priority over the left. What does this mean? When driving on the straight lane, do I need to give way to the right turn vehicle on the right ? Germany Q&A

Got a not-a-question question: how to drive and park properly in Würzburg? I'm driving from Nuremberg to Würzburg in the morning and will only stay there until later in the afternoon, without accommodation. Because the main route in Würzburg is one, either from Marienberg Castle to the Bishop's Residenz or vice versa. How far can this road go straight? How long does it take to walk? Where is it suitable to park the car? In short, I don't want to drive both ends, nor do I want to backtrack.. ? 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.

Not only do they say you don't need to buy a high-speed ticket, but they've been running around for days and haven't been caught. People always say things like, "Oh, it's no problem to drive all the way with a little white book." I don't know where they get their mysterious confidence and logic from, it's really funny and annoying. This is definitely not a responsible attitude towards travel. It's like saying, "You didn't get caught driving after drinking, so you can always drive after drinking in the future?" ? Germany Q&A

I am driving in Germany and Austria. The traffic regulations require children to sit in safety seats, but I have two children in the back seat and also need to accommodate an adult. If I put two safety seats, I'm worried there won't be enough space in the back. I rented a BMW 5 touring car. Are the electronic eyes in Europe very strict? I want to remove the safety seats on the highway, but I don't know if it's allowed ? 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?

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 ?
