About 1/3 of the Autobahn has speed limits. The other 2/3 dont have a speed limit

I think that comment was meant as a joke because if a car hits a pedestrian, its obviously not the driver who gets injured...
Anyway, we do have speed radars in Germany but I have not seen one in a 30-zone and inside the city they are rather rare I'd say...
The T stands for the timezone.
Name one country thats not in America that uses mm/dd/yyyy.
Thank you for xour insights! I guess I'm too young to have experienced anything around the year 2000 but if I understand you correctly, you're saying that most of the racism doesn't happen in public (directly targetted at the victims) but rather in between non-members of the minority group...?
I'm actually from Germany, I currently live in the federal state of Hessen. The far-right party did get 16 percent in the elections yesterday (not quite 30 but thats still a lot) but it should be noted that a good portion of their voters seem to be voting out of protest.
Maybe its different in the countryside but I live in a big city and I personally have not experienced any racism (including from older people), some friends of mine have but its certainly not common. Thats still bad but I dont think its worse than in other countries...
Cant comment on East Germany but its certainly not normal to make racist jokes (or jokes about disabled people).
I dont want to make assumptions but it sounds like your perspective on Germany comes from a single person whose experience isnt really representative of Germany as a whole... just my thoughts.
Why if I may ask? How is it worse if you're not one of those?
You just drive at how fast feels safe to you. On an empty Autobahn (or on workdays where traffic is usually faster because people driving at that time are more experienced) they do go 150-200 km/h. (90mph - 125mph) But not in the middle lane on a Sunday afternoon...
I personally feel comfortable up until about 150km/h
Is that not a thing in most countries? Tailgating cant be legal in most countries, right?
Does this apply inside the city aswell? In Germany, this only applys outside the city...
I dont experience that in the part of Germany where I live but either way, have you seen how they drive in other countries? Thats wild compared to Germany...
