  • "Want to pass me? Fine, I'll let you pass"

    I live in Germany and was driving on the autobahn in a section that had no speed limit, but was only 2 lanes. A semi-truck was passing another semi- truck on an uphill, so it was taking a while. I drove patiently behind the
  • semi-truck in the left lane, waiting for him to finish passing so I could speed up again. Suddenly some dude in an Audi flies up behind me, getting so close I can't even see his headlights. He rides my
  • a for a few seconds until I happen to clean my rear windshield, spraying his car with windshield wiper fluid. This prompts him to back off to a safer following distance, but he is flashing

  • his brights and has his left turn signal on- both universal signs that someone is in the left lane who shouldn't be. Now sometimes someone will do this not realizing you're stuck behind
  • someone else. But I was behind a semi-truck. He could clearly see that I was stuck behind the truck. What did he want me to do? Go through the truck?

  • But hey, I'll do as he asks. I drop back and get in the right lane, letting him take my spot behind the semi. I then promptly get behind him, turn on my turn signal, and start flashing my

  • R2face Love the turnabout. I hate drivers like that, and I truly hope he got a nice expensive reminder not to drive like an a. Out of curiosity, how much does a speeding ticket there usually cost?
  • InformationTop3437 Depends on the speed. If you exceed the limit by 70 or more km/h, you can get 600 euros fine and they give you 2 points too. Also they take your driving licence for 90 days. If you add up to 8 points or 9, you are banned from driving again.
  • msdesignfoto Great. I also flash the ones flashing me, under similar circunstances - like when they want to pass me but I already have someone ahead of me, or when I have a straight line on my right and can't change lane.

  • Katattack_23 I feel like I'd get shot in the US if I did what you did to an impatient driver good on you for teaching him to stop being childish and creating unsafe situations for no reason. And 90% these people don't have anywhere they need to be. They're just being
  • noeljb Other than not seeing a speed limit sign is there another way to tell when you have transitioned from a no speed limit zone to one that has a speed limit, and vise-a- versa
