Every driver is an idiot but me.
In germany its illegal to block the midlane, when the right lane is free. So at least here the midlaneblocking dude is the problem
This is the case in most, if not all of Europe.
In Germany it is legal to drive in the middle lane if there's at least infrequent slower traffic on the right. There's a supreme court ruling on that.
The supreme court has no power here and its stil illegal: https://www.adac.de/verkehr/recht/verkehrsvorschriften-deutschland/rechtsfahrgebot/ u can translate this site, its the biggest carclub in Germany
Peinlich, wenn man einen Link postet, der die eigene Position wiederlegt:
Aber hauptsach nicht verstehen, dass "Supreme Court" einfach nur "Oberstes Gericht" bedeutet und es solche auch in Deutschland gibt.
Einfach zum Fremdschämen, dein Kommentar.
So that English speakers can understand what happened here:
@Pueblo@feddit.org posted a link that verified what I said, claiming that it disproved what I said, because apparently posting links without reading the content is cool.
Also, they didn't know what "supreme court" meant and thought that only existed in the USA.
Well do are not able to translate sipreme curt correctly and u oversee on purpose what the article says. Its not nessasary when u have to drive "snake lines" so its common sense not driving at hogh risk. It contains also, that u have to leave a certain distance witch is not possible in that case. If there is enough space u have to drive to the right lane.
And ur wording shows what kind of person u are so i dont give a fuck for what u feel shame.
Ok, noch mal zum Mitschreiben:
Ich hab geschrieben: "In Germany it is legal to drive in the middle lane if there’s at least infrequent slower traffic on the right."
Der ADAC hat geschrieben: "Autofahrende dürfen bei einer dreispurigen Straße den mittleren Fahrstreifen allerdings dann durchgängig befahren, wenn rechts davon hin und wieder Fahrzeuge unterwegs sind."
Das ist eins zu eins das Gleiche.
Hast du's jetzt verstanden?
No its not. Infrequent means some cars from time to time and thats in fact not the same.
Wie sagt man "from time to time" auf Deutsch?
Genau: "Hin und wieder".
Was hat noch mal der ADAC geschrieben?
Oh, ja, "Hin und wieder".
From time to time isnt a clearly definied term, so that would revoke the rechtsfahrgebot in General. It has this too: it should prevent risky laneswaps. If u want to understand it that way, it explains why they print on pizzas: remove the packaging before putting in the oven. That would explain why the afd gets so many votes and is a public critism to our schoolsystem.
Ok, so now your source isn't good enough for you, because you know better than the ADAC. Gotcha.
Ok thats the dumbest thing ive ever red.
Oh hello mr officer, yeah its absolutly ok to block the midlane, ive saw a car there before three hours and in the next 6 hours i expect another one. There was this idiot on feddit who said its ok when there is a car FROM TIME TO TIME.
Pls just answer when ure back in reality.
Ok, so you seriously think you know better than the courts and the ADAC. That's a pathological level of delusion.
The "hin und wieder" (which is how you say "from time to time" in German) was from your own link. You are just mad.
You don't know how to drive, you don't know the laws, but you think you are above them. Get back to driving school, loser.
Yes, he's an idiot.
Exactly. Here, either you learn how to use the lanes correctly, or you die.
Does Germany have laws about trucks taking over?
Where I live, trucks commonly mix between the 2-3 slowest lanes, passing each other at the same speed they're limited to. It really makes no sense to me to keep changing lanes to avoid them, and it drives me crazy.
I set my car to drive the limit and just stay in the middle lane, which produces much less traffic than winding around. If you're passing me on the fast lane, you're likely breaking the law.
/* In the context of the comic, blocking mid lane when sides are empty is wrong, I agree. I just like to rant
Yes we have, the truck have to pass in like 12 seconds or under. But that doesnt really work. They are like 1km/h faster and try passing anyway
But there are also many autobahn kilometers where trucks aren't allowed to pass other trucks or cars.
It gets ugly if someone decides he wants to travel less than 90km/h because truck drivers are always late and always have to drive the maximum allowed speed or their truck will explode.
Overloaded trucks on steep hills also a problem; They are underpowered and thus drive like half the speed they could.
I think the biggest issue with blocking the middle lane in Germany is, that many people can't pass someone in the middle lane because the left lane is too fast for them or at least you always have to suspect someone flying in with like 300km/h
Oh the left lane is war. Even if u travel with like 220km/h there is someone with flashing lights behind u who wants to pass. But there are not much autobahn kilometers were u are allowed to drive that fast. Its almost everywere under construction.
I think in the usa for example u are allowed to pass on the right, in Germany u have to pass on the left and arent allowed to pass on the right. So in my opinion the biggest problem are people who drive always on the most left lane and stay slow. Another big problem is the unlimited speed, people arent good in breaking on a good level. So they are the reason for traffic jam. There is a physicaly law witch explains that. I just know the german name and tried to translate it, but im not sure if thats the correct term. Retarded motion? In germany its "gleichmässig verzögerte Beschleunigung"
