      :I Nope. At least not when it comes to driving on the Autobahn (as they are doing).
      You'll get one fine for stopping the car on the speedway + another fine if you walk on the Autobahn (for an exit, etc.).

      +:I it's true, if your car runs out on the highway/autobahn or Bundesstrasse, you get fined because you endangered traffic and it would be your fault for not checking fuel. also, for violating the highest german values of cars and beer. don't ever spill beer...

    In Canada it is not illegal to run out of fuel. But some towns are 300km apart or more so some signs warn you to fill up before leaving. If not then you will either freeze to death or a bear or wolves will eat you because no one will probably be around to help you.

      Though if the languages of both countries are somewhat similar, you are able to understand certain things. For example, in my home region of Galicia (northwestern Spain) we have a native tongue that hails from the medieval version of Portuguese, so we are mostly able to communicate without issues with them (unlike many other Spaniards). Considering our languages are so similar, it’s easy to make out what they are talking to you about

    Top Gear will never ever be as good as this again without them three. They never had to force anything they did together because they just work so well together. Just goes to show how good a show can be if you get the right presenters.

      Yep.Now it’s been sanitised by the BBC, gone out with the digs at countries or car makers, loaded with extra cast to try and fill void, with soulless presenters with zero chemistry between them and who people hated/hate ie Chris Evans, Paddy Mcguiness, one of who literally tried to be Clarkson because he had nothing to offer and the other cast members wanted gone too.It’s now all about cars and celebrity drivers instead of anything else, and so it’s gone from something for everyone to enjoy to solely if you really like and know about cars.

      Davin Eka Putra No. Hazard = Left + Right in one time. Left-Right = Left signal first then right signal or the other way around. Jadi di Eropa sini ada tata krama di jalan highway, kalo kita ngasih jalan buat truk trailer, nanti supir truk itu ngasih sein kiri 1 detik lalu ganti sein kanan 1 detik, tandanya terima kasih. Begitu juga kalo mobil kita dikasih ruang sama truk trailer, kita harus ngasi sein begitu. Tapi kalo kamu praktekkan di Alas Roban sekarang ya percuma, Gajah Oling dkk ga bakal mudheng. 2002 dulu pas nyetir Surabaya-Jakarta udah ta' coba ngga ada yang paham. Paling banter ya kode klakson. Coba buka2 bukunya IMI, mungkin ada tata krama kode sein/klakson disitu.
