After 12 hours of hard work on the plane, Xiao Yifei was very tired when he got off the plane. The Demon City took off at 2 pm. After 12 hours of flight, it was 19 pm in Frankfurt. This time, the jet lag returned the 7 hours he stole last time to Xiao Yifei, but it also made Xiao Yifei exhausted. In the past, he had fallen asleep at this time, but now he had to continue to hold on. Otherwise, he would lose the meaning of his purposeful choice of this flight to make the jet lag.

This time, Xiao Yifei didn't need to take the train from Frankfurt to Stuttgart. Because he had to "travel around the countries", it was definitely the most suitable for driving by himself. So the enthusiastic William asked him for help. As long as he found a notary agency to translate the Chinese driver's license and stamp it with a notarization stamp, he could drive in Europe. Xiao Yifei didn't know why. His driver's license clearly had English, but he still did it.

Getting off the plane and being down-to-earth again, Xiao Yifei recovered some energy. He turned on his phone to report safety to his family and Xiao Ya, and told them about their new number in Germany. In the future, domestic numbers will be temporarily discontinued.

After contacting the car rental company, William helped the booking car and drove to the exit. After a simple inspection, he signed for it and used the car by Xiao Yifei.

There are car rental companies near the airport, such as **IS set up a contact point at the airport, and there are people from various car rental companies in the parking lot next to it, so it is very convenient to rent a car on site and pick up a car on site. But William was very enthusiastic about helping him do these things, so he had to accept it.

But this is also good. It is said that if you do not buy a full insurance for renting a car here, it is more troublesome to inspect the car when returning it, and it is easy for the car rental company to deduct old injuries as new injuries. As half of the locals, William used the car rental company to conduct activities early, booked a car model for him in advance, and bought a full insurance. Only then did Xiao Yifei dare to drive under such a tired condition.

William repeatedly reminded Xiao Yifei that the public security in Stuttgart is good, and that the public security in Frankfurt is good. He repeatedly told Xiao Yifei to be vigilant in Frankfurt, especially the train station, to tell Xiao Yifei not to go there at night.

Frankfurt is generally a safe city, but you should avoid being alone near the train station or in the Sachsenhausen area at night, especially for girls and people who are not familiar with Frankfurt.

Because the red light district is directly opposite the train station, which is a place where drug addicts and drug dealers gather. There are many drunken people in Saxonyhausen, and there will always be more things to do after drinking. Offenbach District is mainly a residential area for foreigners, and the security situation is not very good. In addition, there are many immigrants in Frankfurt, so try to avoid eye contact when traveling at night. If a girl is randomly approached, it is best not to reply and just walk away quickly.

But Xiao Yifei is in his current mental state, even if he wants to go to the red light district, he is still powerless. Set the navigation to the Hilton Hotel and follow the navigation to the hotel.

There is a Hilton Hotel next to Frankfurt Airport. The hotel also claims to use soundproof glass, but this is an airport after all, and the sound of plane taking off and landing is very loud. What Xiao Yifei needs most now is a good sleep. If he is woken up in the middle, it will be in vain for his hardship on the plane.

At 7 o'clock the next morning, Xiao Yifei woke up and felt refreshed and had no sequelae of jet lag. Sure enough, according to online experience, he chose a flight that arrived at around 7 o'clock in the evening and did not sleep on the plane, which was conducive to jet lag. Now it seems that the old saying goes, "Listen to others and have a full meal." This is indeed good.

The energetic Xiao Yifei, after breakfast, set the navigation to Stuttgart again and drove out of the city and boarded the expressway.

For a long time, some rumors about Germany have gradually become "facts" after word of mouth. For example, when talking about the various unreasonable speed limits on Chinese expressways, everyone always likes to use Germany as a positive textbook and support their behavior with the "German expressway does not limit speeds". In fact, this is wrong, and it is extremely wrong.

Players who have played "European Truck Simulation" know that if you really have a speed of more than 90, you will receive a ticket and your income will be reduced. The same is true in reality, the speed limit for trucks on the expressway is 90 kilometers.

For cars, according to statistics, the mileage of German expressways is about 12,000 kilometers, and one-third of the expressway sections have clear fixed speed limit signs. Another third of the sections have electronic displays with temporary speed limits, which will temporarily display speed limit information according to various reasons such as weather. In this way, only one-third of the sections are left, but among these sections, except for the speed limits and noise speed limits on various expressways, the real speed limits of the speed limits of the German expressways at all times only account for one-sixth of the total mileage of German expressways, that is, only about two thousand kilometers are not limited.

The distribution of these two thousand kilometers is not uniform. For example, Bremen is the smallest state in Germany, and the total length of the expressways in its territory is only 60 kilometers. After 2008, the speed limit for these 60 kilometers was 120. Before that, only 6 kilometers of these 60 kilometers were unlimited sections. 6 kilometers. How fast do you run? How much does it mean to limit the speed limit?

The unlimited highway is mainly on several wide and very professional highways in northern Germany. It is said that the highways can take off and land fighter jets. This kind of highway can be normal without speed limiting. But how many roads in the world can reach this standard?

Therefore, the signs you often see on the highway are: "speed limit", "cancel the speed limit", and "speed limit", and this cycle is like this.

And even if it is a section without speed limit, there is a recommended speed of 130 kilometers per hour.

This recommended speed has no legal effect. Drivers should not drive above this speed under general traffic conditions. It will not be considered illegal to drive beyond the recommended speed. However, when encountering a traffic accident, driving above the recommended speed may be jointly and severally liable because the driver objectively increases the driving risk. That is to say, if you exceed this speed, even if you are not wrong at all, you must bear part of the responsibility.

Therefore, it is typical to say that German highways do not have speed limits.

These are all what William told Xiao Yifei. He was afraid that Xiao Yifei would be fined by the police if he accidentally got a ticket. You should know that the German traffic police arrested speeding even harder. The plainclothes police drove a modified vehicle to enforce the law. The appearance of the vehicle was no different from that of an ordinary civilian vehicle, but it was equipped with a camera and a speed measuring device, which specialized in secretly taking photos of various speeding and forcibly pressing the line. When the illegal photos were taken, they drove to the front of the illegal vehicle and showed their identity to punish them.

According to William, if you speed 2 kilometers, you will be fined for taking pictures. William also told Xiao Yifei a painful news that it was that from this year, February 1, 2009, you will be charged a double fine for speeding. Speeding 10 euros below 10 kilometers, and then you will be able to increase 10 euros in one gear for 5 kilometers. However, if you speed 20 kilometers, it will become 70 euros, speeding 30 kilometers, and jump directly to 120 euros. When there are even higher ones, up to 600 euros, but ordinary people should not try this speed. Speeding more than ten times, maybe the money for a car will be out, and this strength can be said to be ruthless.

There is also the problem of vehicle distance. As an example, if the distance between the front work is less than five-tenths of the speed of half the speed, that is, 25 meters, you will be fined 40 euros and deducted one point; if the distance is less than 20 meters, you will be fined 50 euros and deducted two points; if the distance is less than 10 meters, you will be fined 100 euros and deducted 4 points.

Moreover, William told Xiao Yifei that there is a crime of coercion in German traffic rules. That is, long-term occupation of the left lane, which makes it necessary to slow down on the right because it cannot overtake, which is considered coercion. In Germany, it is strictly forbidden to overtake on the right, even if the driver of the left lane occupies the road for a long time. Even so, if you overtake on the right, I'm sorry, both cars will be punished together.

In addition, traffic regulations clearly stipulate that drivers can honk a whistle or flash lights to indicate that they want to overtake. Excessively aggressive behaviors, such as frequent flashing of lights, sounding dials, or not maintaining a safe distance for a long time, are considered illegal and can also be prosecuted for coercion.

There are too many things to pay attention to. William is really a good friend. He wrote an email to Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei was very impressed anyway, so he could only sigh that there were too many rules.

But perhaps it is so many rules that have created the orderly transportation of German highways. Look at the domestic highways, trucks, buses, and small breads, and they keep walking on the overtaking lane. Vehicles change lanes at will, and they get into the emergency lane when they see traffic jams in front of them. Now there are even reversing on the highways. What’s even more excessive is that in order to turn around, large trucks actually demolish the isolation barriers in the middle of the highway.

Germany's expressways are connected to urban roads, and there are no toll stations or obvious imports and exits. Xiao Yifei unconsciously drove onto the expressway along the street. Xiao Yifei, the guardrails on both sides of the highway, is now driving on the expressway.

Some Chinese people traveled to Germany or worked in business, and had not seen toll stations throughout Germany. They swear that "the German expressways do not charge" and "suggest" that Chinese expressways also learn from Germany.

Actually, this is not the case at all.

Indeed, there are no toll stations on German highways. However, for ordinary vehicles, they need to pay an additional fuel tax of up to 260% when refueling. The high fuel tax has raised the German oil price, making the German oil price higher than our domestic oil price. Their 1 liter of gasoline price is nearly 1.6 euros, which is about 1.5 to 2 times the domestic oil price. Therefore, they actually paid the toll, but they were only at the gas station Ghana, and then handed it to the country by the fuel company.

In addition, some independent tunnels and bridges in Germany also need to pay tolls. According to statistics from toll companies, highway tolls contribute more than 20 billion euros to the German finance every year.
