  • Parking on walkway

    Hello, today I got a little bit over 20€ for illegal parking on the sidewalk, although there was the sign “Parking on sidewalks”. (see pictures) I parked in the height of the woman with a dog with 2 wheels on the sidewalk as well as other vehicles in front and behind me. A little further in front is the sign that you can park there. Is this right? On the pictures you can see on the left side of the street also vehicles standing half on the sidewalk and there is no sign for the sidewalk. I have also parked several times there and have not got a ticket. In the whole side streets there the vehicles park half on the sidewalk and ONLY here on the right side of the road stands the sign. And only here you get a ticket???

  • Workshop pulled me over the table….

    Hello, can anyone give me information? my car (SangYong) didn’t turn on properly anymore, and also lost Oel. The car was several times in the repair.. The 3rd time claimed the Mech. (Chef) The machine/gear was defective. However, since I was a bit suspicious and in this forum someone had found me hoping that this was definitely only the board. So I just read the board change. The Mech. was very bad and claimed I would not come home with the a car ( 20Km). But I had made it! A forum member advised me to have the transmission oil checked urgently, because the car was powerless. The measuring rod showed no oil!!!! a Mercedes garage had then filled me 4l gear oil…….. The garage owner from Eschlikon had tried to break the car down to home.(gear damage) In Steinen I then found a very competent garage which had confirmed to me that the machine was not defective, and The Garagist had built in the wrong candles that were too weak (some of which were partly plastered) and which had to be drilled out very elaborately. The whole thing then cost a few thousand francs. I tried to find a solution with Urs H… and asked him to take over half the bill…. Without reaction, he denies the candles! But did a bill where the candles are charged. Do I have to accept this? Should I operate it? Does anyone have experience with a similar case? Thank you very much

  • Rear drive in wet and snow. How safe in everyday traffic?

    Hello people I have had my driver’s license since this year (currently still BF17) and am looking for my first car at the moment. I am very interested in the BMW E46 series; I really like it. Only the rear drive does something for me. Can one really only drive the roads safely in winter with good winter tyres ala Michelin or Conti or do such measures like cement bag in the trunk really have to be? I mean that if one wants to turn at a traffic light and there with massi g gas, of course, can collect a spinner. But that is clear to me that you have to drive with a lot of feeling and rational thinking in winter. I have also heard of a well-known one that you can turn even in wet weather if you only start or turn off with a little more gas. Do you really spin so fast or is that more of a myth? So a buddy has already had to experience it on wet road… Would I be happy if you could advise me on this topic because ic h I am worried about using a rear drive as a novice so that I live in the middle mountains and there in a somewhat more mountainous area (Thüringer Wald; direction Rennsteig). And our winter service is not always the most reliable. P.S at the E46 I think of a 318i, is of performance in any case sufficient, I think. of course a dream would be 320i but that consumes then bitsel more P.P.S Are there courses in which one learns the handling of rear drive in winter? Or does a normal driving safety training help? mfg

  • Is speedometer adjustment legal in Austria?

    Servus, sorry, if I demand here, because I don’t like such machinations either, but I would like to have my question clarified. It’s about my friend, who turns back tachos in Austria. He claims that this is legal in Austria. His customers come to Austria about 80 % from Germany to have this kind of “service”. Does anyone know about the laws? This should not be advertising, because I am an opponent of such machinations. But he does not want to let it go, because it is supposed to bring in a lot of money and is allegedly not forbidden in Austria. I would like him to stop doing this, but unfortunately he has no valid arguments to convince him to let it be. Due to his permanent stay in Austria we see ourselves very rarely. I live in Germany in the Stuttgart area, and always have to travel long distances to visit him. He does not want to go back to Stuttgart. Although he would immediately find a regulated job as a car mechatronics engineer. He even once had his own workshop (old petrol station with lifting platform), but he had to give it up because of environmental requirements, and therefore even went out of business again with debts. He actually has the snout full of Germany, and therefore went to Austria. I have my work in Stuttgart and can not move to Austria.

  • Knöllchenabzocke in Nuremberg ?

    Tach municipality ! I was supposed to have stood in the residential park in Nuremberg from 16:06 to 16:28… But at that time I was still on the road and converted the child seat from my wife’s car into my car. I was possibly from 16:30 on in the parking lot for about 3min… Now I should pay and my objection with reference to witnesses etc. interests the Zweckverband Komm. Verkehrsverwachung im Großraum Nürnberg nicht. If I don’t pay 28.50 € and “right” I may get trot Have you also guessed that the “death time” might not always be true in “Euren” Knöllchen? Has this happened to you before? Have you been able to do something about it successfully? I am looking forward to constructive answers… Rhoigauner

  • Snow chains – Question about size

    Hello! I wanted to buy snow chains for my matures of size 155/70/R13. at atu they are too expensive for me and I was now in the construction market. there hangs a list and with the mature size I would need the size 3. now they have but only size 4 as the smallest hang there. at size 4 it also stands among other things: 155-13 (but without specifying the ripe height). as I understood, you can also tension the chains. can I take the now for my mature size or not? atu they told me that the 100% have to fit. but if you can span, then I can get the size 4 really tensed maybe also on an unstressed size 3?! write with all the inspirations you have! already thank you! mfG Sebastian

  • Practise. Test Kl. B / Do you have to drive with gear to the red traffic light ?

    Hello Motor-Talk-Gemeinde, my wife and my stepsohn come from Ukraine, have had a driving license there for years incl. driving experience and now have to do the German driving license B (rewrite). You have to do “only” the Teoretic and practical exam B. Theory already done, now comes the practice: Today both have driven with a driving teacher. This then said that both have to take many hours to learn to drive with gear to the red traffic light. The old A utos in Ukraine go out if you leave the gear in it. Of course it is better if you uncouple “in the last moment”, but is this also relevant to the exam ?? Is there a law that forbids you to take the gear out before ????? Info would be great !!!

  • 2x flashed on red

    Hello motor-talkers, as the question shows, we were flashed when we crossed one from yellow to red switching traffic light. I don’t know if it was longer than 1sec. At the first flash one looked directly into the camera without knowing that it was there. At the second flash the hand was held in front of the mouth in fear. Sounds strange, reflex of the disfiguration, please not evaluate, haha, I find it funny myself. We = my cousin and I, the cousin drove, I was on the Backseat. The car is allowed on my husband, that means he gets mail. To my regret, my cousin looks like me, both long brown hair, glasses, etc. Family just. The difference is in the place of residence, I live in Germany, my cousin in Chile. My question: how would you proceed after receiving the letter? Should my husband write that his wife’s cousin has driven or made use of his private law? Does he have it at all? If the second, like Is it going to go on? Does he have to give the address of my cousin and she gets the notification sent to Chile? She is about to move, what if the notification cannot be delivered? And what if further mail can no longer be delivered to my husband because we also move to abroad in 6 weeks? With such a high penalty (also thanks to the change in May 2014!) is not relaxed. I am also afraid that from the photo to my person locked we are very grateful for all the answers and suggestions. and YES, a mistake was made that all the participants and the non-participants know, we have listened to enough criticism, but we can’t change it anymore. By the way, pedestrians or cyclists didn’t stand at the traffic lights, only a car next to us was so smart and could watch the light play from behind. We hope however, that YOU can help us further, de nn You are critical, ironic but full of knowledge!
