Re: [MBZ] German speed limits
Ahh so they have imposed speed limits? I knew that there are speed limits which are regulated according to traffic conditions. I was there in 97 and did round about 200 in a friends Beemer and did not see any speed restrictions. I also saw a TV program in which some person was doing 300 in a turbo buzz box, to him it seemed quite routine. As a side note, they have now imposed speed limits in the northern territory. Although when it was an open speed limit they could still charge you for dangerous driving. It was a tad crazy up there, open speed limit on a standard single lane highway with livestock, native animals and Aboriginals on the road, not to mention three trailer road trains doing 80kmh. That and they like a drink up there as well. Now the maximum is 140 compared to 110 in South Australia. http://driving.drive-alive.co.uk/driving-in-germany.htm http://www.ibiblio.org/rdu/a-slmatr.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobahn#Speed_limits - Original Message - From: Hans Neureiter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2007 12:16 AM Subject: Re: [MBZ] German speed limits When and where can you go 300 kmh?

One of the old granny tales. We drive faster on the Interstates here than the Krauts do on the Autobahn. And every little village along the roadside has Lärm Kontroll Gebiet (noice control area).

For my Comcast account using Motorola phones we dial *228 and it runs thru an update which makes sure it receives from any/all cell towers which may have been erected or modified. At leasts that the story the cust. rep tells. ;-) It also supposedly improves reception. *228 is for CDMA phones like Verizon, Alltel, Sprint, Nextel, etc. It probably won't do anything for GSM phones from T-Mobile or Cingular/ATT. I was interested to hear that T-Mo and Cinguar have a way to send the time to the phones, my prepaid phone is served through Cingular and I have to tell it the date and time. But it did know enough to clear the date/time and make me reset it yesterday when I turned it on. Mitch - Get your own web address. Have a HUGE year through Yahoo! Small Business.

Re: [MBZ] German speed limits
The Germans are coming under pressure from the EU to set speed limits on the Autobahn to combat greenhouse gas and HC emissions... This morning's paper says that this crackpot idea by a Greek EU commissioner has been rejected. It was pointed out to him that he should look at pollution in his own country before worrying about Germany. RLE ** AOL now offers free email to everyone.
