So they will end up with a system like France where everyone uses non toll roads and clogs up the rural areas with trucks, motorhomes et al. :Doh:

Are there any plans to reciprocate regarding German registered cars. or will we, as usual, roll over?

5 years, feel free to ask me about the Carado!!
Gereally they have good roads, but If they start charging maybe they can stop the free for all on the autobahns with some proper policing and speed cams. Rant begins.... :Eeek: I have driven there a lot in my MH recently, for many Germans the 120-130km/h limit appears to be an absolute minimum speed and many are doing more like 120-130+ MPH!!

If you are doing 60mph in a MH its frankly quite dangerous to have vehicles doing these kinds of speeds around you. Most of the time on the autobahn I really felt I was going backwards and I got some really bad air disturbance buffets (much more than from lorries) from even small saloon cars going so fast past me .

There seem to be few speed controls on the autobahns none on roadworks but plenty of cameras in the towns and cities. The autobahn is clearly the speeders hallowed turf:Doh:

The MH's I saw on the autobahn were on warp factor 4 :ROFLMAO: and caravanners doing 90 at least:Doh:

I appreciate British driving overall :thumb:

sorry for the rant, I did tell the German Police all this at a community event they were holding and made them note it:ROFLMAO:

One year. A whole one!
Can't see how it'll be enforced or controlled.

Depending on the cost of the tolls, it might work out cheaper buying a set of German transit plates for £60.

could be the vignette system like Austria and Switzerland, where you have to have one before entering the country or risk getting a fine if you are caught without one.

Getting there!
Apparently they're getting a bit grumpy about "Foreigners" just driving through Germany en route to other destinations!!!
