Driving in Germany: What Brits Need to Know

The experience of driving in Germany comes with its own set singularities that UK citizens may need to be aware of.

Driving on the Right

Unlike the UK, vehicles in Germany are driven on the right-hand side of the road. Fair warning, this might need some getting used to, but you'll have it figured out soon enough.

Speed Limits

On many highways in Germany, there isn't a general speed limit. However, the recommended speed is 130 km/h, which is quite a bit faster than the UK's 70 miles/hour (112 km/hr) motorway limit. Within urban areas, the limit is 50 km/h unless indicated otherwise.

Car Classes and Recommendations

You have a plethora of options when deciding on your ride. For the small streets and close-quarters parking of Merseburg, a compact or mid-size car would be ideal. If you're planning to cruise the Autobahn or venture farther out, perhaps a luxury car or SUV might be more to your liking.
