When driving don’t be nice, be predictable.
Eg.: If you are on the priority road, drive - don’t be nice and slow down to let someone in from a side road. That’s how you get rear-ended.

no other chocolate spread tastes nearly as good
That’s because it isn’t a chocolate spread, but rather a nut and nougat spread.
But you miss the point: BAB doesn’t mean BundesAutoBahn, it means Baustelle Am Baustelle.
The roadworks all over nowadays is due to years of neglect in the 80s and 90s.
trucks are overtaking with 101km/h
As trucks are governed to a Vmax of 90 kph, and some even to 85 kph, I would suggest you get your speedometer checked, because it sounds like the advancement, required by law, is too high. It shouldn’t show more than 7% more than your actual speed. Truck speedos are more rigorously controlled and show an average of 2 kph too much at 80 kph, so trucks overtaking at 101 kph is not normally possible - of course, speedo manipulation does occur, but it isn’t so rampant that they all overtake at 101 kph.
Just don’t overtake at +30 kph but more at 10 kph
The law does account for this: If all lanes are well populated and you find your lane is actually moving faster than the lane to your left, you may pass - not overtake - on the right, as long as you are not more than 20 kph faster than the left lane.
The difference is in passing and overtaking: Passing is merely going faster than the other lane, but staying in your lane afterwards. Overtaking, or to give it its correct name of undertaking, is passing and then changing into the same lane as the passed vehicle.
but noone will come after you if you (as a common citizen) download pirated movies or software.
As an EU ‘common’ citizen in Germany, I can assure you that you most certainly will be gone after for downloading any and all copyrighted material.
A single episode of a TV series once cost me 1500€ when I forgot to activate my VPN.
But you shouldn’t be at sea without a VPN either, that’s just asking to get a letter from some lawyer claiming to work for some movie theatre or other, so just open your VPN and watch your paid subscription as normal.
I have since changed my tune.
Ba-dum tsh
That’s just another name for the save icon.
It gets better. The size of the SD card isn’t the storage area. Look carefully at the back of an SD card and you should see how a tiny square area in the middle is a bit ‘thicker’ than the rest; that’s the actual chip, that tiny bump!
Without those two I may have never gotten into english that well.
FTFY. Not a dig, just correcting your already very good English.
But it’s only trucks that have to slow down, and my truck - like most modern trucks - has an ‘L’ classification for Austria, which stands for ‘Lärmarm’ which translates to ‘Quiet’.
120mph? What? The fuck?
Humans aren’t designed to react to things at that speed.
Germany has entered the chat
Noise concerns is a joke. I drive a truck in Germany. In many villages and some areas of towns/cities, trucks are to drive at 30 kph instead of 50 kph at night to reduce noise levels. The joke is, when I drive at 30, the truck is in a lower gear than at 50, making more noise, passing more slowly (noise duration longer) and putting out a higher volume of CO2 for the duration.
Cars with fart cans and motorbikes with their loud exhausts are way louder than my truck could ever be driving those roads - at any speed.

But that’s nothing new, my thoughts are always full of wet vaginas.
The trick is to ask them their name. If they reply “Smith”, then you say “Yes I know it’s Smith, but it seems I can’t recall your first name”, so he says “John”. Or if he says his complete name straight away, you say “Yes I knew it was John, it was the Smith I couldn’t remember”
Bingo, you have their complete name. Works the other way round too.
Was a time when these lyrics would have been the top comment to this question. Now they linger at the bottom.
We who know must be getting fewer.
