Funny. With all the complaining about unjustified measurements and speed cameras, I'm missing a crucial tip on how to avoid tickets while driving: simply follow the traffic signs. Sure, signs get changed, traffic management gets changed, and some signs aren't necessary. So what? Just stick to the posted speed limit and you're done. Honestly, I can't see any problem there. The only people who have problems are those who violate the speed limit. Why one then has to discuss the rationale behind the limit (possibly even with the police officer who's already annoyed and is writing you a ticket) is beyond me.
But freedom for Germans is apparently defined by speeding on the motorway. Social laws can be dismantled, taxes raised (except petrol tax, of course), civil rights curtailed — all irrelevant, as long as there's no speed limit of 130 on the motorway.
