por favor, Germany Road trip Q&A

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

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

Can you please recommend the best way to self-drive from Frankfurt to Munich in about 8 days? We would like to visit Metzingen and Neuschwanstein along the way, and have no other specific requirements. We would prefer not to be too rushed, like a typical tour group. Could you please help plan a reasonable itinerary, including which towns to stay in at night? PS: Is it better to take the train from Munich to Vienna or continue driving ? 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

Car rental in Germany scratched and only chipped paint. I was charged 850 euros, saying pre-authorized and the actual repair cost will be deducted later. After returning to my home country, I received the repair bill, and 850 euros were used up, feeling like the car had undergone a major overhaul. I wonder if anyone has encountered such a thing ?

I was charged 200 euros for the exposure deposit and 800 euros for the car deposit when I rented a car on September 8th. When I returned the car on October 11th, they said they would refund 800 euros on October 14th and 200 euros on October 18th, but I haven't received any money yet. My heart has been beating fast. I didn't receive any deposit when I rented a car in the UK last year. Why did Frankfurt charge so much deposit? I'm upset ? Germany Q&A

This year during the Dragon Boat Festival, I went with my own pole and loaded two vacuum-packed meat zongzi. A fellow traveler asked if I wanted to bring some, but I was afraid of getting him into trouble, so I said it was best not to bring any. If we were put on a blacklist, it would be bad. But in the end, my friend took the zongzi out of the box and put them back in the suitcase. When we were about to board the plane, I saw an old foreigner pick up a box of Five-flavor Glutinous Rice Zongzi and get on the plane directly. I didn't dare tell my friend what I had seen.. ?

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

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

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

I rented a Mercedes-Benz E-Class for my trip. Before picking up the car, I didn't know if it was an E200 or E220, petrol or diesel. But I did my homework beforehand, and if it was an E220, then it would be the diesel version. It turned out to be an E200, and I was a bit disappointed, as the horsepower would be lower, but there was nothing I could do about it. I checked the car and found that the latch in the bottom of the trunk was broken, causing the luggage cover inside to not close properly. I told the staff at the pick-up location that this needed to be fixed, or else I would request a different car. They said that there was only this E200 available at the moment, and asked if I would accept a different model. I said that I was used to driving a Mercedes-Benz and didn't consider other options. They quickly brought over an E220d and asked if I wanted it. Do I even need to answer that ? Germany Q&A
