German of the day: Tempolimit

That means speed limit.

And that ain’t never gonna happen in Germany. Think banning guns in the USA.

‘Tempolimit? Nein, danke!’: why German petrolheads won’t slow down – despite the energy crisis – Driving fast is in ‘the German DNA’, say lovers of the speed-limit free Autobahn, but support in the country for a restriction is growing.

Driving under the influence…

Of LSD?

It’s guys like this who give drunken Polish truck drivers a bad name.

Germany: Trucker leaves trail of destruction after amok ride – A truck driver injured 26 people during a zigzag ride over two highways in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. One person was critically injured and several others severely hurt.

A Polish truck driver who is believed to have been under the influence of alcohol or drugs caused chaos on two highways in western Germany on Saturday, injuring 26 people and damaging scores of vehicles.

One of the eight severely injured people is in critical condition, police said, while the 30-year-old trucker is also being treated at a hospital before he can be interrogated.
