minus-squareTreczoks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoAny car going 95m/h on a German Autobahn is going to cause a lot of problems. It would be a moving accident waiting to happen.
minus-squaresuperkret@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-210 months agoNope. Semi trucks drive 90 km/h, you can just stay behind one in the right lane.
minus-squareDon_alForno@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoThen they’re speeding. Also no Mercedes driver stays in the right lane. Ever.
minus-squaresuperkret@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoYes, they are. And cruising in the right lane sucks a lot less if you can do something else while driving.
minus-squareDon_alForno@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoTrucks are limited to 80km/h.

minus-squareTreczoks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 months agoNo, they do 100km/h. That’s the problem.
