Some residential areas may still allow priority from the right, this certainly was the case near my brothers house in Munich, it surprised me as I thought it dangerous, I wondered what he was slowing down for!!!

Oh and just be careful at traffic lights...a green arrow doesn't always mean its safe...apparently!!!

If you are stopped don't argue with the polizei, it can cost more as a mate found out!

They have a book which lists all the "sins" in many languages which they will show you if they don't speak english! Guess how I know?  (Spent 5 years in Germany with the RAF!)

At the start of a town/village there is a white sign stating the name. 50kph starts there-unless it says otherwise, at the end is the same sign with a line through it which is the end of limit.

Give way to the right, although junctions are signed, (stop or give way)-there is a yellow diamond sign with white edges at regular intervals.which shows you are on the priority road.

On the autobahns keep right unless overtaking and use your mirrors as they go very fast on the derestricted bits!

If herman comes up behind you with his indicator on it means "get out of ze vay!"

I enjoyed my time there, good roads nice country.

Other words "Einfahrt=entrance, ausfahrt=exit.Never did find umleitung!!

If there is a no overtaking sign (same as here) it may say "ausgenommen zugmachinen" underneath-which means except tractors!!

Kaffe und kuchen is coffee and cakes, very popular in Germany! Especially on Sundays. The cakes are very very nice and normally served in large portions and you can have extra cream !!!

You go into the shop order your coffees, choose your cakes,which are on display in a cool counter. When you pay they give you a ticket, take a seat and the waitress brings them!!  mmmm!!!

Bringing back memories of a good time!
