Gute Fahrt


Driving on the Autoban can be very exciting. Heinrich doesn't drive faster than 130 km/hr, which is about 82 mph. (Sometimes Heinrich's female driver goes a little faster :-) but don't worry she definitely isn't the fastest on the Autoban)  But sometimes cars will fly past so fast that their tail wind nearly pushes him off of the road. They must be going at least 150 mph or faster. Crazy people. But even the Autoban has to have construction. There was a section on the road when Heinrich went down to Ramstein. At the beginning there was a frowny face on the sign that said how far there was going to be construction. Part way through there was a face with a straight line for a mouth.

 
Then at the end there was a big smiley face to show that the construction was over. It is important to know that the face wasn't smiling because of the Gute Fahrt. That actually means "Good driving", not what it sounds like in English.
