From Dresden a straightforward run.. listening to Kraftwerk on the autobahn... A couple of items that to muse on...
Firstly road protocol in Germany. As mentioned before, there have been many roadworks while in Germany; the consequence of expecting great roads to travel on. But the interesting item was when stopping and crawling through the next set was how everyone moved to the edge of their lanes, allowing a gap for emergency vehicles or police to pass through.
This may be a mandatory requirement for German drivers but I couldn't help thinking what would happen in other European countries.. Having driven in most on this trip, the Scandinavian countries would understand but for most others, this space would be immediately filled with cars trying to find an advantage. In the UK though, we would purposely drive close to the white line to stop anyone getting an advantage.. understanding Brexit..
To finish on this Brexit theme.. sorry.... a photo taken at a stop before my apartment in Berlin...
Everywhere I have been to since leaving the UK.. they all think we are mad.. including the nationalist and right wing societies of the former eastern block.... They like to complain like 'mad' but are not stupid enough to leave...
Tomorrow Berlin...
