Drivers stick to the speed limits.

The German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) seem to be becoming more of a recommendation than a law that must be followed.

Maximum speed limit of 60 km/h

I’m increasingly noticing that truck drivers are adhering more and more to the permissible maximum speeds, both on rural/federal highways and on motorways.

I find this good, even though I continue to drive at my own speeds of 65 and 85.

Perhaps some dispatchers will then learn not to plan their routes with a “hot needle.”

Accident on the A45One can only hope that such things belong to the past.
Good, the true reasons for such an accident are never known exactly.
Only the involved parties know this.
Nevertheless, stress often leads to errors, and errors often lead to accidents.
And before anyone complains, the image is a screenshot from a video of my dashcam.

But why many have ultimately started driving only at 60/80, I don’t know. It can have many reasons. I think the association Hellwach mit 80 km/h e.V. will also be involved with this, just as some dispatchers might be.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter either way. Even at 60/80, you still reach your destination. Even though there are certain people who don’t want to understand that and then tailgate closely behind you, or make someone look foolish at the next rest stop because you stuck to the law.
