That is how apes open bananas too.

Not that I'm implying anything of course.

You call everything -li. Best examples: Schißhaseli or Einkaufswägeli.

But you miss the point: BAB doesn't mean BundesAutoBahn, it means Baustelle Am Baustelle.

The roadworks all over nowadays is due to years of neglect in the 80s and 90s.

trucks are overtaking with 101km/h

As trucks are governed to a Vmax of 90 kph, and some even to 85 kph, I would suggest you get your speedometer checked, because it sounds like the advancement, required by law, is too high. It shouldn't show more than 7% more than your actual speed. Truck speedos are more rigorously controlled and show an average of 2 kph too much at 80 kph, so trucks overtaking at 101 kph is not normally possible - of course, speedo manipulation does occur, but it isn't so rampant that they all overtake at 101 kph.

Just don't overtake at +30 kph but more at 10 kph

The law does account for this: If all lanes are well populated and you find your lane is actually moving faster than the lane to your left, you may pass - not overtake - on the right, as long as you are not more than 20 kph faster than the left lane.

The difference is in passing and overtaking: Passing is merely going faster than the other lane, but staying in your lane afterwards. Overtaking, or to give it its correct name of undertaking, is passing and then changing into the same lane as the passed vehicle.

but noone will come after you if you (as a common citizen) download pirated movies or software.

As an EU 'common' citizen in Germany, I can assure you that you most certainly will be gone after for downloading any and all copyrighted material.

A single episode of a TV series once cost me 1500€ when I forgot to activate my VPN.
