  • HUK-Coburg Protection letter and/or ADAC membership

    Hello, I have completed my car insurance at the HUK-Coburg in February, including a protection letter for 6 euros per year. Next month I go on holiday, 700km a route. Even if my car is in perfect condition, one wonders, of course, what services can be expected from the insurance in the event of a breakdown, there can always be some technical defect. I have got a booklet, in which all services are listed, but However, I would like to ask again, especially because it is sometimes rather opaque, which is now exactly covered. Is it worth it, in addition to the protection letter, to conclude an ADAC membership, because for example the one or other relevant service is not covered in the protection letter or can I save the membership fee? Are only 19 euros, but if the services are completely identical, you do not have to throw the money out of the window. The most important thing is what I can expect exactly if I can no longer drive half way due to a technical defect. Does the vehicle have to be towed to the place of residence or can I specify another place? I have a friendly car mechanic at my holiday destination, in which I want to park the car in case of an emergency. Wouldn’t it be nonsense if my car is towed to my home, although we are just on our way to the n holidays were, then everything falls into the water. I and my passenger should of course also somehow arrive at the holiday place. LG and thank you very much! 🙂

  • Noise nuisance

    Hello, for a few weeks (?) a bald head with a corvette, gold chain, muscle shirt and corresponding upper arms has been working for me in the quiet residential street. Maybe he also comes from the night service. He arrives here every day around 05:30 in the morning and can not park at all. He has to get out twice and look in the back until he is in a parking space that is twice as long as his car. The Corvette makes enormous noise and when closing with the radio key hup The whole neighborhood is then awake. The driver only reacts with sneerful laughter. Is such an exhaust and the hooving allowed or what can be done about it? (We are not so the instant police holler, but…).

  • When are you blinking? 😀

    Do you blink to indicate the change of lane in the lead? or do you blink at the moment of the change of lane? (it’s mainly about the highway) I get nervous personally if I want to pass by quickly on the left and suddenly the right starts to blink…

  • TÜV-Test Rhein-Main: No to GTÜ-Testing Office ********

    Here is the description of my experience with the GTÜ test office ******** in the framework of the HU/AU in Jan-Feb 2012, vehicle Toyota Prius II, year 2006 Mr. GTÜ-Prüfer (name changed) as a diploma engineer was unfortunately not able to enter the idle test mode without external help. After several wrong attempts and telephone calls with a help station, this hurdle was taken, apparently serious. However, he needed three attempts to the AU- After the first, he claimed that the vehicle did not pass the test due to the malfunction of the catalizer, but this was not confirmed because all the values were in the normal range. In the gas plant test, it was found that the GTÜ tester was not able independently to locate all relevant components (electromagnet valve, liquid and gas phase filters, gas and cooling fluid lines) and that the test was carried out by the and In addition, I had to find out a lot of difficulties with regard to the understanding of Mr. GTÜ testers regarding the working and operation of the braking system of my Prius, namely that the locking, braking force distribution and consequently braking effect are controlled by an electronic lifting simulator computer and not primarily by the applied pedal pedal. from the wheels and calipers, without measuring their thickness (permissible minimum: 20mm, actual measurement: 20.9mm, no cracks or similar) of a purely subjective visual test (rust marks discovered on brake discs), which takes place in the flashlight light, priority over the facts (here: braking distance, measured values of the service brake, which prove far more than satisfactory braking effect in relation to the overall weight of the vehicle and even the ones of the last HU from Jan 2010 with the E The brakes of my vehicle are seriously examined at least twice a year when changing wheels, so that all necessary measurements and visual checks are carried out. The last examination and function test of 15.12.2012 did not reveal any impairments – sufficient strength and normal working condition of all brake discs and pads was available. Thus, it is not comprehensible at all. Mr. GTÜ tester also certifies that some of my vehicle’s incandescent lamps are inadmissible for use in road traffic – on the grounds that they appear to him to be too bright. However, Mr. GTÜ tester was obviously able to show that there was a lack of transparency in the classification of the brake discs as “significantly defective”. Finally, the examiner was not able to write his own name without any errors (comparison of the test report with the AU page). During the repeated demonstration of the vehicle, which took place more than 2 weeks later and was known in good time for all the parties involved, the minimum permissible values in the area of brem disc thickness were first interpreted absolutely wrongly by the management of the test office – defense of the professional honour?. This time one invests in deepening the expertise in hybrid vehicles, so that one could at least read the current km stand independently with next Prius customers. PS. In this test office no appointments to HU/AU are given in advance. Based on my experience I now know why…

  • Max load weight for trailers

    Hello, I had hoped to be able to answer my question through the search function, but rather caused more confusion, since I have now read quite contradictory statements.The following: I need a lot of transport space for a move, now the car has a trailer coupling from my father, and I fortunately have the BE appearance.The training is now a little bit since, so I am not sure about the allowed weight.Car data: F.2: 1880kg (total weight) O.1: 12 00kg (max train load with braked trailer) G: 1357kg (empty weight car) So far so good, So how much can I really charge? Let’s assume from a trailer with 300kg of unladen weight. Then I am at: 1880kg – 1357kg = 523kg (additionally loadable weight of the car) 523kg – 300kg = 223kg + 70kg = 293kg (allowed load weight with trailer) 292kg + 300kg are less than the allowed 1200kg, so fully ok. So can in the crew max 293kg? That’s about 200kg of actual load (minus) That would be really a little bit. Do I have a mistake in thinking? Is it easier and I don’t have to assume the total weight, but only the suspension weight (braked there). That would be 1200kg – 300kg = 900kg. That would be easy enough thanks and LG

  • Who has an advance on a simultaneous ascent and departure?

    I have a question, and I have to go through a place on the motorway every now and then, where an exit strip is also the acceleration strip of a driveway. Now I want to know who has the driveway here, because I think that the traffic that wants to leave must have the driveway. Attached is a picture and this shows the situation. In my opinion, the red car has the right to go into the departure and the blue car must grant the driveway. Josha

  • Scenario when driving on dirt roads..?!?!?!???? when can anyone get over it?

    Hi, I have a question. there is a dirt road.. this one is equipped with a prohibition sign for cars and motorbikes. on this dirt road there is a “pair” garden owner with fruit trees. Who can now drive with what on this dirt road. Can one drive with a car <3,5T on it if: 1. one property sitter is this adjacent to the dirt road? 2. one e.g. at a farm around the corner of the "skillier" through the dirt road to reach animals is accommodated (e.g. horse e) but not belonging to a farm. and now the same question on >3,5T… e.g. 7,5ton.. My opinion can only be someone up there if he has a green area which is only accessible through this dirt road and or has a tractor under the back. thank you already!

  • the right to refuse a certificate in the event of a withdrawal of the right to education;

    fictitious questioning: if mother Gertrud was deprived of the right of education for Helmut, who was then 2 years old, but with her now 18 years of age, he understands so well that he lends his car to the now adult man… …and gets a hearing sheet for a speed violation for Helmut – does she have a right to refuse a certificate?

  • Selling a car… how do I have to deal with it?

    Hello everybody, it’s relatively late so I’m about to get to the point: I advertised my car on mobile.de at the beginning of the month and two days ago a man called and said that he would be very interested in the car; after a short price negotiation the agreed to my price, told me that cash will pay and that the car could pick up only in the middle of next week. He comes with red plates, said that I can get info about him through internet and actually this person exists, I have a fixed network and mobile number of him, he also told me that has a sale rate of 200 cars per year, I have now deleted my inserat of mobile… What do you think?

  • I ask for your help

    hello…. don’t know exactly if I’m right here with you but I’m just trying… I bought a used car on 15.9.2011 ( golf cabrio 3) the car got tuev on 22.06.2011 until 06.2013… on the tuev report it says that the car has come through without faults. I drive you now are 15.09 and note are some days that when I still drive left and also when braking that there is a noise as if there is something grinding. I’m then known to a he has taken the car to the stage… when he stood under the pk he says to me my god what you bought there. from outside and inside the car is in a top condition but from below the hammer. he tells me what is broken and that I should not drive anymore. it must be made new dampers front and rear windshield has a crack (which was concealed by the mirrors) rear axle bushings must be new domelagen and I think he says something to hit me….he means to me when he brings the tuv into the house now I fall through so without saying a word….havemein known still asked it happened now in the time when I dared he meant that the defects have been around for quite some time and that the examiner should have seen them. I can’t afford such a repair because it’s a lot of money for me. I called the dealer and asked him everything if we were in good shape. I didn’t know what to do and I called the tüv in the central office only 10 minutes later a man called me back and I had to describe it all again. he means that the examiner of tüv exhibited is quoted in the office and I ask and then… I have the report and all the papers here my question is to you… who is it? now for the damage to my car maintenance who has to fix the damage? I don’t have the opportunity to buy a new car or pay for the repair… am really at the end with my nerves especially because I have to drive my daughter every day and also my non-smokers with me I have gone crazy soon…. would be very happy if you can tell me something about lg tanja
