Radar detectors allowed in Germany? + BONUS Autobahn CAUTIONS/TIPS

[Tim]

... and if fast car trades paint with sh_t-box, "es tut mir leid, es war
unbeabsichtigt," means 'I'm sorry, it was unintentional." You can try that
one on the Polizei, too, if your detector lets you down :-)

Seriously, though, print Leigh's post and take it with you to Germany. It's
an all-too-common sight to see a  smashed sh_t-box along the Autobahn-side.

Have fun,
