If you do not purchase a cross-border high-speed sticker, you may face a high fine of 10 times the amount in Austria. However, if you purchase the Austrian high-speed sticker, you can ignore it.

The key is not that there are highway tickets to buy at every gas station near the border, but that there are signs like the one below at the entrance.

Why avoid expressways? What's the point of driving yourself if you're not going to take the expressway? Why let the tolls bother you and make everything else difficult? Is it worth it?

Actually, the expressway ticket is only 8 euros. Maybe the postage to avoid the expressway and go around is more than 8 euros, and there is also a 2 euro ticket. I didn't understand why to avoid the expressway and seek distant places.

Don't know the context of your question. If you are at the German border, avoiding the expressway can avoid unintentionally entering the neighboring country's expressway. If you haven't bought the expressway ticket of Austria or Switzerland, it will result in a large fine.

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 ?

When driving abroad, it is essential to fully understand the traffic rules of the destination country. If you are fined, you should inquire about which laws and regulations you have violated, learn from the experience to avoid repeating the offense in the future. If you do not reflect on your own violations and instead confront the situation with 'why am I being fined and not others, I must be treated unfairly,' then you will continue to make the same mistakes. Your mindset will be distorted, and what should have been a pleasant Road trip will turn into a tragedy ? 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
