Hi, even if I suspect that I will get little approval here in the forum, I would like to speak out for a general speed limit on motorways. Why? Driving would be safer and much less stressful. The traffic flow is quieter and therefore possibly also faster. For me, the experience that everyone can make when he enters German motorways from abroad is decisive. I often use the Basel border crossing and always make the glacial from Switzerland. In Switzerland you drive very orderly and without stress (except the fear of the speed cameras and the draconian fines – but you can avoid by keeping the speed limit). Then you get to the border crossing in Basel, pass this and immediately afterwards the madness starts. Still in the area of the border facilities (where the road is brought together again funnel-like on two tracks) the right of the stronger applies. Everyone gives full throttle to be before the other and on the A5 From this border crossing, driving becomes stressful and dangerous again. I think this stress is directly related to the lack of speed limit, which is why I would be in favour of introducing it.

Hello, winter is getting closer and wants to buy winter tyres soon. BUT I am a student and therefore not much money available. I am a careful driver, do not drive fast in winter. My tyre size is 195/65/R15 Have some questions. What exactly are retreaded tyres? How are they being renewed? The retreaded ones that I have looked at are with Continental profile. Can you trust such statements? “made by one of the largest retreaders ifenernewer Germany according to ISO standard with the latest technology in tire construction.” Would they also get 2 years warranty, they wouldn’t give if they were for the ass? Or would they rather take the cheapest NoName tires? And the tires are max. 6 years mobile, I know, this also applies to retreaded ones? Are the from the date of manufacture 6 years mobile or only after you started to use them? Would I be pleased with answers.
