Germany is famous for its Autobahn, with its generous and at times not existent speed limit, and for its well-maintained road network. Particularly in rural areas, many people rely on their car to get around. But even when a motor vehicle is not essential for your commute, driving in Germany can make for a great experience. Scenic routes and hidden paths let you get a glimpse of Germany’s natural beauty. But as is almost always the case in Germany there are a lot of rules and regulations around owning a car and driving. While driving on the Autobahn is the right thing to do for every expat who ever wanted to see how fast his car could really go, speed limits within cities and towns are rather strict.
