Nope. Semi trucks drive 90 km/h, you can just stay behind one in the right lane.

[–] Treczoks 1 points 3 months ago

No, they do 100km/h. That's the problem.

Then they're speeding.

Also no Mercedes driver stays in the right lane. Ever.

On the Autobahn?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Trucks are limited to 80km/h.

[–] HerrBeter 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

In Sweden they may drive 90 on highway-equvialent roads

That is interesting, but still, the comment I answered was about Germany.

[–] HerrBeter 1 points 3 months ago

Sure. I don't know if I agree with the increase in speed, the fuel consumption goes up with like 1 L/10km

[–] feedum_sneedson 1 points 3 months ago

I see, that's probably a good idea.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago

Yes, they are. And cruising in the right lane sucks a lot less if you can do something else while driving.
