autobahnBack again for another “cracking” episode of the myGermany Podcast! Well…perhaps “cracking” is a bit exaggerated. It is a pretty good one, though.

In this episode I give you 10 tips for driving safely on the famed and, in some cases, infamous, German Autobahn. Plus there’s a few interesting facts about driving in Germany in general:

    • like how long can you drive with your national driver’ s license before you are compelled to get a German Fuerhschein,
    • what to do when getting into an accident,
    • what kind of vehicle documents are needed,
    • etc.

      I know that I said in the last episode that I was going to be putting out shorter episodes, like about 15 minutes. But somehow I’m still at about 25 minutes with this one. Didn’t realize that I had so much to say did ya?

      ich gib gas, ich will spass- markusAt least 3 of those minutes are taken up by a really cool German New Wave (neue deutsche Welle, 80’s music) song called “Ich gib Gas, will Spa?” by Markus (roughly translated: “I floor it, ’cause I wanna have fun”). It’s about driving fast, and I though that it was fitting for this episode.

      Last but not least, many thanks to:

      Vanessa, for her comment on episode 11, Kristie for her comments (check out her blog here) and for milo for making such a groovy WordPress theme for me! ?:razz:

        From the looks of Markus, the “new wave” look was truly universal..hehe..

        He could have fit right anywhere from Ah-Ha! to Flock of Seagulls.
