  • Please blink before every turn!

    When I’m on Swiss roads at the moment, one thing strikes me again and again negatively: the automobileists increasingly push the timely set of the turn signal – or they “forget” it completely – before they initiate a braking process with the aim of finally turning off. This immorality makes it impossible for the forward looking vehicle driver (I) to drive an economic (and ecological) way. Here again the old-known rule for all who do not know (want to) ): 1. Foot of the gas 2. Watch and turn signal 3. Insignia 4. If necessary brake (but only now! ) 5. Turn off Do you know the problem?

  • Missing entries

    Moin, I bought a used car from Private a few months ago. I was stopped last Saturday by the police, who accused me that neither the wheel/tire combination nor the distance discs were registered. I then said that I had all the papers at home and that everything was fine. I then got a defect card (on which only the missing registration of the tires is noted) with the hint to return the papers within 7 days. Assuming that I have a few days and that everything is correct, I didn’t take care of it for 4 days, even on a professional basis. At some point I looked for my papers together, read about part reports $19.3 and Googled after that, and only then did I realize that with this part report you have to go to Tüv and you have to let it take off there and finally that’s the paper that I should have shown in the control. At this point in time I didn’t… never had anything to do with it. Stupid situation… basically I was on the road with no type-approval and I told the police officers unknowing(!)what about the horse. How would you behave now in order to get out of there with as little consequences as possible? I have now made an appointment with the Tüv to have everything registered, but unfortunately the next free date is only next Friday 8 o’clock. Furthermore, I will be still today/morrow, ever after the weather conditions, the distance discs and unregistered wheel/tire combo are dismantled and the series tyres (which I have as winter tires) are cultivated. After that I will drive to the local police station and explain the situation to them, simply that I was ignorant, but of course I am willing to put everything in order as soon as possible. Next Friday then let the tuv and everything enter and then present it at the pole line. Also simply as a sign that the installed parts no more egs are dangerous to traffic/goods. By the way, various extra items are registered in the vehicle certificate, but they are all not so much on the vehicle anymore. Therefore, it doesn’t help much. Any other ideas? Does anyone have any idea what is coming to me in terms of punishment? And yes, for this action I can step in my ass.. even if I have learned something for the future.

  • 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?
