You can drive for the conditions. For example if a highway is free of ice you can drive 150mph if you want, 200 if you can.
But Germany has a lot of regulation on life, not as much as in the US or cource. No country limits choices in behavior or options like the US which has more laws controlling behavior than any two countries combined. Americans do not travel much betcause of the high cost and high levels of debt. Germany is expensive, and their wine is not as good. Hayley's put down of California wines suggests she is not very well informed about them.
US laws and regulations are more restructive than anywhere else but EU is second in limits. I have been in 92 countries and quality of life for the time and effort required to support it is about worse in the US than anywhere I have been. That mountain of regulation and laws is one reason for the lower quality of life. The financialization of all things in life in the US is unique and causes most people to be in deep debt, for even basic.
I moved out of the US 22 years ago and gave everything away, and lived a high livestyle most of my adult life due to starting a number of successful businesses, one that was a top recording studio that produced 197 gold and platinum albums. I gave everything away:houses, cars, an airplane, art, horses, and businesses and left for eastern Europe with 2 suitcases and $6000 at 51 years of age and have loved every minute of the much greater personal freedom, security, access to culture, low cost of living, safe streets, police kids do not have to be taught to fear, a univerally better educated population(I have not met a woman who does not have at least 1 college degree) the low stress even if one is not making much. My cost of living is about $1200-1500 a month depending on how many dates or how many times I attend world class opera, ballet or fine dining. I had given away my collection of classic Italian GTs, a Bentley, trucks being a car nut but here I never bothered with one because the personal freedom from NOT having a car was amazing. Americans can't live without a car but it is the main cause of poverty in the US. Here, people buy them but you never see them again because they are stuck in their cars and no longer go out at night because of the zero tolerance of driving and drinking. But the majority who do not have or do not use them fill the city center of the most Beautiful original city center in Europe with quality restaurants, bars clubs, 300 drama theaters, 54 classical music, opera and ballet theaters, each being better than any in the US. The last time I was in NYC a mid level ticket to the MET for opera was $800 and here is it $20 for better theaters, and free if one is a student. College is free, medical is free, 58 minimum paid vacation days that are vested the first day of employment, most people over 20 own their home free of debt, public transportation is cheap, fast, convenient clean and safe with the most beautiful subways in the world that are spotless. A taxi might be $0.35.km, more world class museums in this one city than all the US combined. A city of 7 million where a woman, alone can walk through any neighborhood and be perfectly safe….at 3am, with 600 clean, beautiful well maintained parks, no homeless in the country of 146,000,000, great schools and universities, and most city families have a country home also, sometimes very rustic or large and modern so kids grow up in summered tending gardens, exploring the woods, learning how to live simply close to the land so they know quality food since they grew it themselves. Nudity is not shocking, and hot saunas are very common, so it is common for a group of friends to go to a sauna for a group party of hot room, cold baths, food and drink nude of cource. Often their country home has a banya(sauna heated by wood stove).
Men and women like each other here, unlike in the US, and women tend to be fit, feminine, pretty, stylish and like men. Race, color, nationality, religion, status, do not divide people at all, they get along. The country is made up of 182 different cultures and they all get along. Socializing is so much fun, safe and rewarding. If a guy is polite and has something interesting to say, they can walk up to any woman they see and start a conversation. If there is any reason to continue the conversstion it is normal to exchange contact information. I am old now, 73 but in good shape and meet beautiful women daily so still actively date,and have never gone out with a woman over 47, most are 30-45 but they are in shape, I have not met an out of shape woman in a long time..only on trips back to the US. My current two favorate GFs, one is 44 and stunning with perfect skin, no wrinkles at all, her mother and grand mother look much younger also. She owns a marketing company. The other primary dating partner is 36, an actor who is female lead in a TV police drama, has been lead female actor in 14 feature films, and dozens of plays and very attractive. My favorite foreign travel mate is a 37 year old lawyer, we have traveled to 13 countries together but traveling alone is really fun also since I always meet beautiful women. When I return every 3-5 years to visit California, I hardly every see beautiful women, they are out of shape, angry, demanding and unpleasant for the most part. Americans of either sex(where I am there are only two genders, male and female regardless of your sexual partner choice. It always shocks me how out of shape woman are in the US. Almost all that excess blubber is due to the shift in process foods and drinks to high fructose corn syrup repacing sugar added to all US food in the 1970s. It was developed in the mid 60s but started being added to softdrinks first but later was added to all US foods and why no prepared food products are allowed in most countries from the US. Look at high school year books from the 60…no fat. Boys and girls were more fit and attractive naturally. Here where I live, beauty is very common. No GMO or chemically treated foods are allowed so people are smarter, healthier, happier and look better. The US fast food industry is making society there the least healthy and attractive of any of the 92 countries I have been in.

I thought america is the land of the free, my bad 🤣✌

I’ve never been to Europe, but on the subject of nudity in public places where it’s common, I think that’s the way it should be and as a U.S. American who hasn’t had that exposure I think we’ve been sheltered by the thinking and beliefs of the prudes from the fanatical religious groups who think most everything that’s natural and fun is a sin and something of which you should be ashamed. I grew up in such a family and trust me it was no picnic.

Dirnking a beer at lunch is quite common in south of Germany (aka. Bavaria). Even students at the university can buy their beer at the cantina – and yes, you can buy beer at McDonalds, too. Even more interesting: You can drink a beer while driving! It's not forbidden – until a certain point, of course. And yeah: An american friend of mine was surprised seeing nude women in a park … he needed a beer immidiatly!!! He got a beer … from a nude woman! *lol Trust me: Germany ain't a bad place to be! *twink

Its great

In the UK we call it a Liquid lunch. 🥃🍷🍾

i really love Hayley

IS oh sorry US is so sexualisiert

Sipping a beer in your lunch break does not automaticly mean you get drunk a.f. and go crazy and dancing on the table. Germans are responsible drinkers and know their limits. Also beer is a staple food in Germany. It's just water, hop and malt thanks to the "Reinheitsgebot". Even if in many working contracts stands 0,0% alcohol sometimes one beer besides lunch is no drama.

You can say curse words in German TV without being censored. I like that.
