i miss driving in germany

if you flash your headlights at a german driver to let them in they won't do anything as it's not in their psyche. nobody "lets" anyone in and everybody waiting to let in knows they "must" wait. lane discipline on das autobahns is generally much much better than the uk and, this is how they react to blue light vehicles on call User Posted Link also there are frequent public service adverts advocating safety messages for motorists. and bratwursts. bratwursts.
