  • NRW Lightning Marathon, Friday 10.02.2012

    Hi together, next Friday in the whole of NRW 24 hours will be flashed at about 1400 measuring points. Quotation: Interior Minister Ralf Jäger (50, SPD): “Too high speed is Killer No. 1. Just on the weekends: here on average six people die in NRW. We want to make the streets safer.” What do you think? Is this just pure actionism or will it really use something? Source:

  • E-Class sideways in small Opel, Mercedes driver seriously injured

    A user here from the forum had the following accident with his E-Class:Accident report and photos He drove a small Opel car into the side frontally with his E-Class. According to the report, he was seriously injured, the Opel driver was only moderately heavy. Can anyone explain that? On the one hand, the E-Class is heavier, but mainly a frontal impact idR. is more pleasant than a side impact. I would have expected the Mercedes driver to be light and the Opel driver to be seriously injured…

  • Obstacles to overtaking

    Hello, today I met a very “special” driver on a cross-country trip. The situation was the following: Inner town, a little busy main road, I at 50. Bid me a right turner (with advance notice) and hardly comes from the spot. I want to overtake him, he drives to the right shows me the bird and, for no apparent reason, kicks, like a crazy on the brake. If it had crashed, what would have happened? can someone say, how there the police would have distributed the blame e? after all, he drove out and then the disability and the action with the brake. I also noted his license plate, can you do something else? Greeting P.S. I hope I wrote in the right forum, otherwise please move

  • Parking ticket went not to solve, getting parking ticket

    Moin people after a long time without “sorry” 🙂 wanted to draw my parking ticket last time at the fallen man… knew exactly how long I needed (approx. 1.25h) so only 1.20 threw into the automatics (logically or?) he then gave me my money again in 3 attempts, so parking disk set up on time was back at the car again, punitives mail came of course home > objection because of parking ticket not solvable in the sum > not granted because automatic machine would not have had a defect 1.5 0 must pay for the parking ticket… now the stupid question, if at the automatic what of 20ct steps stands (1,20€ is divisible by 20ct), why does he not accept the money? and why do I have to pay more than I need at time? greetings

  • Advance situation at the end of a traffic-settled area

    The main road (light grey) is “interrupted” by a road lift (“bump” – dark red line) with signs to narrow. For a few days now this “bump” is now also part of the previously ending traffic calmed area (each sign 325/6). Normally the following applies: “When driving out of a traffic calmed area according to § 10 StVO is all other I hope you understand what I mean. http://img78.imageshack.us/my.php?image=forward xb1.gif

  • Martinshorn too quiet?

    In recent times it has been more and more frequent. You drive on a cross and hear a Martinshorn in the subconscious. Everyone stops, looks around confusedly and at the next moment an emergency doctor comes from somewhere. The things are only heard lately when they are almost past one. And at the crossroads you can also find very bad places, from where the things come. Where are the fanfares on the roof? the things have been heard for miles and could react early enough. The electric horns are really too quiet… degrees with us on the country roads is the möderisch. When the acces you hear zero. nifty. Only when the things are next to you one hears very quiet. That was formerly only with the civilian police patrols like that. I am also surprised, that happens more and more with emergency vehicles. And everything we like to the EU. But who was abroad, knows that the sirens are already to be heard kilometers far and you keep your ears shut as pedestrians when Why is that getting worse and worse in Germany? Does someone know something about it? PS is not the only one who can do it. My father works in Frankfurt and is also of the opinion that the electric horns are quieter and are much harder to locate in front of everyone…

  • Purchase of parts by cash on delivery

    Does anyone know the company “Autoteile Feist” (exhaust price) in 55618 Simmertal? Can you trust them? I ordered a pipe for a super price by cash on delivery. Prompt delivery, but amount by more than 100 € more expensive than the order confirmation!!! My wife of course paid at UPS because she did not know how expensive I had ordered. On Friday I did not reach anyone by phone. On Monday, because bridge day, telephone and by e-mail little reached. Are these serious??? X AX

  • Police traffic control allowed on private parking ?

    Moin MT-community, on the weekend my son was stopped by the police at 5 o’clock on Saturday morning while driving from a parking lot of a discotheque on the premises and subjected to a “general traffic control”. Of course, it was about alcohol, but since my son had 0.0 in the tube test and everything was fine with the car, the police had to let him drive (wordless and greetingless). The discotheque is located in the rear part of a furniture house in a commercial area, the parking lot i The discotheque was rented for a non-public event and neither the organiser nor the owner agreed to general traffic controls on the site. Is this legal ? In this thread the topic was discussed in a similar way, but the core question of the TE was not clearly answered at the time: http://www.motor-talk.de/…/PostJump.html?…

  • Who knows traffic rules?

    Hello, thank God nothing happened, but I already got into the same situation twice. And there would have been an accident almost in both times. The following situation today at about 4 pm in a locality. In front of my polo a vehicle drives. We turn into a roundabout, first the front man and then me. We both turn into the same road. In this road is 50 km/h. This road is quite long, about 1km. Although 50km/h are allowed and the vehicle In front of me is a local (same local character) the front man drives about 300m long only 30 km/h. I am not in a hurry, but it is already deprecating after someone where you could drive really 50 after all. So, after about 300m I set turn signals to overtake. The road is straight and there is no oncoming traffic. When both vehicles are at the same height, the overtaking suddenly sets the turn signal and pulls to the left. In a courtyard entrance. The turn signaler becomes about 1 sec . placed before turning. I move on the curb where fortunately no one is. This curb is lowered. Let’s assume that it would have crashed, what does the question of guilt look like. If possible I would like to have firm facts and not just opinions.

  • Belts for obese persons

    Hello, a relative of mine refuses to put the belt firmly in the car. She is, let’s say, of great physique. Therefore, the belt is probably very unpleasant and hinders her driving. Therefore, she never straps on. In addition, unfortunately, she is an occasionally intoxicating road user and also drives quite fast (always close to the top of the points…). Do you have any ideas on how to make her strap on? Are there any belts that do not suit you? and can also be installed in a normal four-seater without too big conversions or any upholstery that really brings something? Yes, I know that’s stupid2, let’s not talk about it, we’ve tried everything to teach her…
