    That’s not true. About 70% have no limits, but if you’re in an accident and you drove faster than 130km/h you can get partial blame. On the other parts there are some kind of limits and they are as hard as they are in other countries. ( well, Germany does not have the biggest fines, but it’s still a hard limit).




  • I got 3 kids and we got two cars. One big for everyone and luggage and a small electric one. We don’t use public transport much due to:

    • a lot of time lost (busses go every 30mins but only to the small city centre/train station). So to go shopping is 5 mins vs 30 mins one way. To go to work: 45 mins vs 2 hours).
    • if one kid is sick, it’s hard enough to get them to the doctor in the car, now try that in busses.
    • I need to transport a lot of food for 5 people. And then there’s also garden waste which I could not transport with busses
    • get the kids to their games on the weekend. No chance to go there by busses in a sensible amount of time. We try to do car sharing with his mates though.

    We do try to also replace the big gasoline car with an electric one in the next 1-2 years, but I don’t think using more public transport is viable. To the local city centre (to get an ice or bakeries) we do walk most of the time.
