  • A second mirror check confirms the closing speed of approaching vehicles
  • You may only stay in the middle lane if the right lane is continuously occupied
  • The 'Schulterblick' (shoulder throw) is mandatory to check the blind spot
  • Application of the Rechtsfahrgebot on a three-lane Autobahn
  • Safety procedure for merging into the fast lane
  • Zeichen 282 introduces the Richtgeschwindigkeit
  • Warnblinklicht warns traffic behind
  • Partial liability for exceeding 130 km/h
  • Rettungsgasse must be formed early
  • Rechtsfahrgebot on three lanes
  • Basic rules still apply after Zeichen 282
