I went to the endurance athlete. Hard to believe ... Do not worry, I'm not running in embarrassing shorts and T-shirt somewhere, armed with an iPod through the area. The aim of the exercise was to achieve a place in southern Spain in two days and come in ten days then back to Germany. Almost 2500 miles in one direction. Of these, 255 km on German, 953 km and 1247 km on French English highways. In itself nothing special, I know people who drove from Schwäbisch Hall to Lloret de Mar, with the whole family in the Calibra on a cheek. But Mallorca is for bus passengers also only half the distance. I'm all for less with distance than the knowledge that I gained from this trip. Somewhere I once read, travel would change a person. I can confirm from personal experience. I used to be a fierce opponent of any form of road tolls: it was the Austrian, staggered sticker model, the Swiss lump-Vignette or even the distance-based fee as is charged in France and Spain. Well, that was then. As of today, I prefer the French or English model. Why? Quite simply, in Spain a speed limit is 120 km / h and although it was possible to nearly 1300 km from Malaga to La Jonquera de la Fontera with an average speed of almost 110 km / h, and despite a refueling stop, a lunch at a rest stop and a few short stops at toll stations. In France, the average was even higher, because there is speed of 130 km / h (if it does not rain otherwise 110 km / h) and refueling failed. was for the 255 km on the "unrestricted" German highways only a section of 98 km / h reached and there was only a brief refueling stop. How can that be? It's simple: sneak too many motorists who park next to um. This lot of transit traffic, which prefer to take the detour via Germany to you, than to pay toll in neighboring countries and possibly higher fuel prices. I'm assuming that is the passenger car toll in Berlin actually been decided, it dares not only, that the voter to betray ...
