Exactly, and if there's a wrong side left should be the wrong side, because the majority of the world driven on the right side and the morality always wins lol 🤣🤣🤣
@ she indicated that she checked both mirrors. Does she also need to check over her shoulder at the junction? I’m unfamiliar with the UK driving test system.
@@mcana.6675 Well at least in Germany (I´m German) she has to by law and what I know in Britain she has too. Some people may argue she looked mirrors and that´s enough; what could possibly happen? Well, e.g. a biker could step of the houses door or a house exit gate to her right and position in her blind angle beside her and waiting for green light/drive too or something like that. However, because that you always have to look over your shoulder (left or right) when you turn no mater what. We have so many accidents cause exact that situation. Horror is child on bicycle from e.g an exit port of schoolyard to the right and position beside a truck both waiting the traffic light turn green. There are even videos of exact that kind sh*t happen. It´s hard to watch. And truckers have no chance cause they can´t look over their shoulder and they can´t see a biker/pedestrian take that position with such a move. That´s why modern trucks have cameras and warning system for the sides blind spots (and the close front of them) nowadays. Also blind spot while change lane is a problem and need attention. Only situation I know you don´t have too do shoulder look in Germany is when you enter a Interstate (Autobahn or Schnellstraße) or driving on it at all cause it´s to risky look over shoulder (turn body a litte bit) cause you could mess up the steering wheel a little what would be fatal at these speeds. And also there can be a lot sh*t happen in front you while you watch shoulder. But hey, I´m not a German driving instructor. Just about a million km experience in 35 years driving all over the world. Therefore no guarantee for my statement 😉😂
You have to give way to pedestrians when turning left or right at a traffic light junction unless there’s a green arrow then you don’t have to. Its the same all over Europe, The UK is an outlier on this one
Yeah this is how they work in America too. Green Arrows you are safe both right and left, and blinking yellow arrow or circular green pedestrians will cross.
5:16 very well done! Yes, you're absolutely correct to stop before the crossing. So many drivers in Germany do not respect the driving law to keep pedestrian crossings and normal crossings free, when you can't drive past them. 15:07 going into a roundabout you do not activate your turn signals, only when exiting.
Weshalb sollte Sie nicht Blinken VORHER wenn Sie schon weiß wo es hingeht. Macht eigentlich nur Sinn und ist zudem vorausschauend fahren für andere verkehrsteilnehmer.
@@Raffaele1 weil es seit 2001 in der Straßenverkehrsordnung ausdrücklich so festgelegt ist, dass man vor der Einfahrt nicht blinken darf. Das wurde früher (zu meiner Fahrschulzeit) noch genau andersherum gelehrt.
I enjoyed this video so much. Finally you are sitting and driving on the right side. Remember: Even with 220km/h on the Autobahn there will be some faster than you. Next time, go with you own car, use the ferry, travel all the way through the Netherlands to Germany. Right on the German border you will see the difference. I always enjoy driving my German car in the UK traveling to Cambridge for business - think you will too vice versa.
I've been watching your channel for years at this point. As a German, it feels surreal to see you driving around Frankfurt, but so much fun :) Love the chemistry between you and your brother, too! Some observations: - I love that the BMW reputation transcends borders, oceans even. They have the exact same reputation around here. - There's no overtaking lane within city limits in Germany. You're free to choose your lane and can go slower on the left. - Roundabouts work a little different here: You don't indicate before you enter the roundabout, you indicate right just before you're about to leave it. No left indicator ever. There's even a small fine (in theory) for what you did around 15:10 :D My guess is you're back home already at this point, but in case you're not: I'd like to see you drive around Frankfurt inner city some more. I've encountered some insane roundabouts there, plus Frankfurt is a little "different" and has some very shady, but interesting areas to explore ;)
haha thank you for thank, i will look that up. I am back home but we did go out in the car a few times so lets see if we can spot any of those shady bits.
Imagine driving a BMW and getting a ticket for using your indicator. That would have been great content at 15:10 and absolutely worth the 10 € fine. 😂 But I have never heard of people actually getting a ticket for this. I guess police has better things to do instead of giving tourists a ticket for using their indicator in a situation it would be mandated in most other countries but unlawful in Germany. That German regulation, it's in §8 (1a) StVO by the way, is in my top 10 list of the regulations that make the least sense. It makes the roundabout unnecessarily inefficient. I realized that when I was in Sweden where people indicate right entering the roundabout if they leave at the first exit. If you approach a roundabout, someone else is approaching it from your left and that driver is already indicating right, then you don't need to slow down that much. But for some reason Germany has to go the less efficient way in this case.
Just curious, is there a reason for the left indicator not being allowed? Here in the Netherlands, it is not mandatory but advised. I use it all the time to be clear.
@@kalijnboekhorst4387 German traffic code says explicitly that it is not allowed to indicate in any direction upon entering a roundabout. While you are in the roundabout with the intention to stay in it, you are not taking a turn to another section of road and not switching lanes. While moving a vehicle and not taking turns or switching lanes, it is not allowed to use indicators either. So you can't use indicators inside the roundabout as well. The only time you are allowed and actually have to use the indicator is the indicator to the right when leaving the roundabout, as you are taking a turn in doing so. Don't ask me why that is the law. I am not the legislature in this country. But I have to agree that it doesn't make much sense. It might be that they want people to always slow down when entering the roundabouts for safety and that's what they achieved I guess. In Sweden I noticed it myself, that after getting used to it, I went into roundabouts way faster when I was able to see other cars already indicating for the first exit. But on the other hand I slowed down much more when I noticed people indicating left for the third exit.
@@felixklusener5530What do you mean if you're staying in a roundabout how do you just stay in roundabout just keep going round and round in it ? You're supposed to leave the roundabout in a particular direction. In the UK you indicate before entering the roundabout why do you indicate only when you leave it in Germany,I don't get that ?
It's nice to see people coming to Frankfurt and enjoying the fantastic roads in the beautiful Taunus mountains in a responsable way. I grew up in the Taunus, I still live near the Feldberg and people speeding and causing accidents has always been an issue on the run up there, espacially in the summer months in biker season.. Nice video!
Aman driving on the right side of the road on the correct side of the car, in a BMW, in Germany 🇩🇪 on the Autobahn … just filled me with nothing but joy! 🥰 Even she can’t help push the pedal to the metal! 🚗 💨 ❤ Congrats on 1 million subscribers and Happy New Year! 🎊
No cause the fact that I watched your videos two years ago before my driving test because I was so scared and felt lost and now you were driving in my home town and even drove past my uni is so exciting to me (and this sentence made no sense lmao) at first I thought you‘d be driving in Munich because of the license plate but then I recognized Frankfurt aaaaah I’m so EXCITED!!! Edit: OMG you drove to Feldberg!!! This was my driving instructor‘s favorite route. Now I‘m feeling even more nostalgic… this is CRAZY to me
What a delight to watch! Wish I'd had you as a driving instructor, very calming. Found you through the DriveTribe video with very well maintained professionalism but a wry humour, great to see you always have such a charming and enjoable attitude while fastidiously noting the details. Congrats on the million subs Aman, and Merry Xmas!
Hi Clearview Driving. Welcome to Germany and indeed to my general stomping ground, can't believe how close you came to where I hang out. Anyway, thought I'd address a few things if I may, hope you don't mind! Here goes... *4:48* what you've seen in the UK perhaps. *7:10* there are no overtaking lanes in any German _city_ (in fact I don't think there are any in any European city). VMax in every city is always 50, or 30 or even less if signposted. *10:07* it *is* indeed a slip road! The wider white markings on the Autobahn indicate a separation of slip roads either for entering or exiting the Autobahn. In Germany these roads are there to enable safe acceleration or deceleration over a longer than usual stretch to enable safe merging from one to the other. *10:48* if that sign lights up it is to inform Truck drivers or vehicle drivers driving vehicles over 7,5 Tons that there is a strict no overtaking zone for them only. These signs are permanent if indicated on regular metal painted sign posts, they are temporary if depicted via an electronic sign as can be seen here. This usually lights up if traffic monitoring systems deem it too dangerous or may contribute to negatively affecting the flow of traffic if vehicles over 7,5 tons attempt to overtake, in other words only cars are allowed to overtake. Trucks overtaking if the Autobahn is too crowded will likely slow down all traffic in aggregate, hence the sign comes on to prevent lanes being unnecessarily being choked up with trucks in multiple lanes. *11:12* welll... these German drivers aren't really crazy at all actually. Most drivers from abroad (who don't hold a German driving licence i.e. haven't (for obvious reasons) had the necessary Autobahn and general German driving tuition, might be referred to as the crazy ones if anything). Believe it or not, but the tests are also tough causing some 42% to *fail* it and need to retake it!! It's relative. If someone from the 1930s were suddenly to be teleported in to the future to 2024 they'd probably think that drivers in the UK doing 70 on the motorway ...are crazy. *12:31* Fun fact; Bad Homburg is where I used to live. *12:56* There are traffic density sensors (among tons of other sensors) all over the place that count the vehicles, determine the density of traffic and typical and average speeds and calculate if a speed limit on a certain stretch needs to be temporarily invoked or not. Hence they come on and go off and with varying speed limit depictions. *15:17* the road you're on now is my way home currently. This road is very often controlled with (hidden) mobile radar traps. If you exceed the 50s, 60s and 80s limits on that road (that _goes up hill all the time_ as you are heading for the Feldberg mountain) you'll get blitzed. With a rental car they (the rental outfit) gets the fine and forwards that on to you at the address you quoted on your car rental agreement (just fyi)... *18:59* "what's happened?". As mentioned you were climbing in altitude all the time. At 18:59 you reached some 500+ metres above sea level. It can snow severely here and higher up. *19:46* "wow what is that?". You're now on the Feldberg, which is 881 metres above sea level. What you see there is an RF transmitter that also transmits analogue, digital radio and TV. The power output buzzing around your head right where you are there is 50kW (50 thousand watts of RF power omnidirectional into the air). It ought to be safe. If however you see people walking around there glowing orange, twitching and pulling odd faces after all, get back in the car (a Faraday cage) and drive back down! ...only kidding. :D Have a safe trip back to the UK. - Typos edited. .
Loved this Aman. I visited Germany for a brief solo trip last year and rented from SIXT at Frankfurt airport. They upgraded me free of charge to a BMW M850i that had (at least) 500 horses 😂 I drove all the way to Stuttgart, spent hours at the Porsche museum and drove back to Frankfurt. Got plenty of autobahn miles and found a safe stretch to hit 125mph briefly. I took really good care of the car throughout my two days of driving, but the car suffered a tragic fate in the end. At SIXT rental return, I stepped out of the car, gave the keys to the attendant who conducted a visual inspection before climbing inside. He checked the fuel level, then proceeded to move the car further forward to free up space for other returning rentals. I was stood right next to the driver's side door watching him as IT happened. God knows why but he punched the gas pedal and those 500+ horses launched the poor car. straight into the rental in front. BANG! Another renter and I locked eyes in complete shock. The attendant shakily got out, asked me for a signature on his iPad, to which I firmly responded "Before I sign, that was NOT me." He assured me with a forced smile and I walked off to the terminal in complete disbelief at what just transpired. Poor guy must have been sacked on the spot. Always drive carefully!
Insurance will pay Its pretty much Not a big deal If a Car gets damaged at a rental Station, that obviously Happens all the time, Just fewer times with staff damaging them😅
6:30 that other BMW had the license plate starting with OF, which is short for Offenbach. But the running gag is that it stands for "Ohne Führerschein" = "without driver's license". The drivers from that small town east of Frankfurt have ALL got the same bad rep that BMW have but tenfold.😂 So seeing that guy not sticking to his lane was fully on par with their supposed driving 'skills'. 😉😆 Edit 1: this video showed exactly my old homestretch of Autobahn. A66 to A5 to A661, up the Feldberg. Granted, at the Sandplacken with the last traffic light intersection I went on straight back in the day.
I used to tell my instructor I watch driving lesson videos of people in London on RUclips, and he’s like: don’t watch those you’re going to get confused. Because you guys literally drive on the other side of the road. But here we are now you’re driving in Europe! Thanks for sharing your first experience with the Germany roads, it was great to see!
Clean driving . I don’t know if they teach this in the UK but when changing lanes in Germany we are teached to do a Schulterblick which means glancing over your shoulder in the lane you are changing into that is to overcome the blindspot .
Hey, just FYI: The "Rechtsfahrgebot", the part where it states to drive on the right most lane, only applies outside of city limits. Within city limits, as long as your vehicle has no more than a 3,5t maximum permissible weight limit, you can chose which ever lane. However, the "Rechtsfahrgebot" also orders a driver to drive right most in the lane they are in. Though, very important, it does not state to drive as much right as possible, as you also have to take into account safety distances. So, "right most" means as much right as you can while assuring your own safety and that of others.
Yes, the sign means no overtaking for trucks/lorries. Regarding traffic lights and crossings I'm guessing they're programmed the same way as here in Sweden. If the light is just green, it can be green for pedestrians and/or cyclists. If you get an arrow in the direction of the crossing they should have a red light. Of course you still need to check for people that are already out on the crossing though. I'm more used to the older style BMW cruise control that had a separate stalk and prefer it, but if Set gave an undesired result, although Res is what's used to resume a previosuly set speed, you should have been able to use the up/down rocker instead to set the speed manually. Regarding the lowering mirror in reverse, you can choose if it does it or not by changing the position of the switch for adjusting the left or right mirror, if you already didn't notice that. So if you find yourself in a BMW with electric mirrors with memory and it doesn't do it, try moving the switch for adjusting the left or right mirror.
I despise the auto lowering of the mirror(s) when reversing in newer cars. I don't wanna see the road, I wanna be able to see if any pedestrians are going to walk behind me as I'm reversing. I work on a busy vehicle prep site and people walk around all over all the time, so only being able to see the floor is very very risky
@@gamer-8955 As I pointed out, you're free to choose to have it lower or not in this case, so there's nothing to despise. BMW has had this function in at least some models for more than two decades, given the right equipment level of course. Maybe you don't care, but it serves the purpose of being able to see the kerb and such, around the area of the rear wheel, without having to stretch and/or lean far over on the passenger side.
Since I haven't seen it mentioned in the comments - at 18:00 you should check the sliproad on the right because you should yield to the potential car there
Nicely done. My first time in Germany was 2006 and my first time driving in 2007. I've always enjoyed driving here. I now live here since 2018 and I actually get scared driving in the UK again. But then again we took our 7m left hand drive motorhome with us last time so that's quite a challenge driving on the left again!
Hi Aman! You and Richard from Conquer driving seem to be completely passionate about the subject of learning to drive. It would be great to see a video of you mock test each other. I wonder how two such positive instructors would fare in such a setup. I'll paste the same comment under his latest video for him.
10:01 that lane is for when there's congestion. The traffic computer for that part of the highway will check vehicle speeds and car amount at different points on that road. If it then determines that an additional lane is necessary, it will activate it by showing specific signs to the drivers that there's now an additional lane available to ease congestion.
Since you marked when you got too close to other cars, in germany you would have failed your driving test on several occasions because you didn't do the what we call Schulterblick (translated: Shoulder view), especially on the Autobahn. You have to make it obvious to the driving instructor that you checked your blindspots before you merge. You obviously had your guard up everywhere else, you didn't drive "wrong" exactly, but I though it would make sense to mention that.
2:45 when going straight you do not use your blinker, is illegal because you are not changing your direction and is also dangerous and confusing for other drivers
I had a brand new Toyota Avensis, which was limited to 137mph. The car was quite happy cruising at 110 mph with the cruise on. However, it didn’t stop drivers of big BMWs, Audis and Mercs racing up behind me, flashing at me to get out the way. God, I miss Germany. Take me back!
Fun fact: in Germany (and Austria afaik) the rule to keep to the rightmost lane (Rechtsfahrgebot) no longer applies in towns (marked with the town sign). It only applies outside of town, on dual carriageways and highways (Autobahn). The official rule is u need to pick the lane such that it’s most efficient for traffic flow. I was very surprised to learn that!
4:48 sounds like driving in Chicago or Detroit. Turn signals mean the car is gonna speed up so you can’t go in front of them. Unless you going at less 15 over you are getting run off the road on the highway.
10:09 the road is talking to you. Just take a look at the different markings/lines/linetypes. 12:40 the dynamic speedlimits depend on traffic (speed/density,etc) and weather/road characteristics (wet,icy, etc.)
Hi if you are in a lane showing arrows an a straight line dont change shortly! And if there are different traffic lights you may run a red light! At some crossings there are red light runner flashers so if your are in a rented car they might give you the ticket to pay!
Congrats on 1 mil Aman! Thank you for your wonderful videos, they are a blast to watch. As for future video ideas, I'd love to see you navigating the roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe! I get anxiety just thinking about it haha
4:22 there is no such thing as an "overtaking lane" when driving in the city. Vehicles under 3.5 metric tons can choose their lanes freely and keep themselves left the whole drive.
Congrats on 1 mil! What did you think of the roads and infrastructure in Germany in general? Did you do more driving on the autobahn, at more quiet hours (higher speeds, lol)? What did you think of the discipline at which Germans drive? As for another country, check out the Netherlands, have a look at their road infrastructure, especially the biking side.
hey it was great, the roads are really nice and wide on the autobahn. The lane discipline is really good but I do feel that German drivers switch lanes a little suddenly. as in the steering motion seems a little quick at times. its probably because the lane discipline is so good and they switch to get back into the right lane all the time
@@ClearviewDriving if you think the lane switching in Germany is quick dont go to France or Spain. They instantly switch lanes 5m infront of you with no regard to speed difference
@@540MSB You don't drive across the road, but along it, so I don't see the relevance in how people read. The thing with the British Isles is that they're mostly the odd ones out in Europe. We used to drive on the left where I live, but don't since many, many decades. The trains mainly use the left track out on the line if there are two here though.
But it's more obvious that I'm about to exit the first exit to the right than when I "keep to the law". I also really appreciate it when someone indicates left when they remain in the roundabout so that I know definitely that I can enter.
@@ClearviewDriving In Germany we just signal for leaving the roundabout. But like Lovejit said: Beware of cars coming from the left (or which are already in the roundabout).
It is better if the driver indicates in advance that he will take the first exit. It helps the traffic flow. There is no such thing as “never this and never that” here.
This was fun to watch! Finally you drive on the right way like I'm used too. When you are in Germany, please take some of the road in the Netherlands, it will bu fun for me bc I'm Dutch!🧡 not that our roads are that special, it is different :)
Seen this channel for the 1st time but I had to watch it because you are driving around in Frankfurt. 10:17 this entry lane is very long because there is often congestion in the peak hours and then also, they open the shoulder as an additional lane (so then you would be able to just continue on the lane).
As a preperation for a journey to England I just wanted to inform myself about how to handle roundabouts in the UK correctly (I have never driven on your "right" side of the road before), and so I came to your channel - by pure coincidence -, and the next moment I find myself watching you in exact the same but opposite position, driving through my home area, the Taunus mountains, using the exact same roads that I use every week. How small the world is, isn't it? Lots of love from Germany! ...and thanks to Diana ;)
Those who drive on the right side of the road are more times correct than those who drive on the left side of the road... if one consider all the vehicles one can drive on the road....
I am driving on Autobahn literally every day and I can't imagine going slower then like 120 or 130 kmh, once when you are used to it, everything seems so slow. I know its dangerous but again there are no accidents where I drive 🤷
Absolutely the right car: M4 Competition with 510 HP in the hand of a total rookie, bare of any driving talents or capabilities driving in the only country of the world without speed limits. Brilliant idea!
@@kurrywurst0815 I do since she was humble, cautious and respected the fact that it's a very fast car and on top of that didn't get into trouble in wet, cold road conditions, which is the essence of being a good driver. The fact that you refer to her as a "girl" leads to believe that your ego took some kind of hit...
@@michaelcliffe562 Understood. The point is, that if want to "try" something, it's not the greatest idea to do so on public roads. There are plenty of racetracks and other closed tracks available to avoid accidents with other ppl on the road.. My criticism has nothing to do with my ego, but is based on the facts that everyone can see. The seating position, steering, using the accelerator pedal and choosing a lane on the road. Why do dealers prefer to sell such cars to people who believe their driving skills automatically increase with the performance of the vehicle? Exactly. Because they'll need a new car soon. Speaking of ego, yours reads like someone stepped on your part?
I'm from Central europe but live in England also leant to drive in England. the level of anxiety I got just by seeing you drive on the right... Not sure when I'm going to be mentally ready for a trip home with car... but it is scary for sure 👀
Would be cool to see you drive with a German driving instructor who really knows about alle the rules, signs and things like that. But that means you would need to find someone (we do have some German RUclips driving instructors). 😉
Please make a video for experienced drivers that drive for the first time on left side of the road. What are the main differences they should be careful about? Would love to watch that video.
Would have never expected seeing you, driving around my hometown Oberursel and especially on the Feldberg. Like what are the odds you choose exactly that place 😂. So fun seeing you driving the roads, I drive every day😂. Just a little fun fact. The Feldberg is like the place to be for Car Meet ups in Winter actually.
Beeeeeep 4:09 ........ And this is the Moment when she would have failed the Driver-Test (in both Britain and Germany) or at least get some heavy minus points due to she missed look over her right shoulder when turning right. Watching mirrors alone are not enough also in this traffic /traffic light situation when turning like that.
4:25 He made a mistake when turning right. According to the rules for turning right, he must turn in a small arc, meaning he should have arrived in the outside lane (right lane) not the inside lane (left lane).
In the cities in germany there is no overtaking or normal lane, they are equal!. No need to lean forward when goint on the Autobahn, we do shoulder views, much safer!
Luckily, there are more countries driving on the right side (instead of the wrong side :-)) -- I would likely try to avoid having to drive on the "wrong" side. Also, funny thing -- you have this huge display in the car, which suggests it's not an antique, and I could even see the map on display... yet, you're driving with a co-pilot giving directions... which seem to come from some navigation software on his phone... Is the BMW software that bad?
Wow Aman! It’s great to see your popularity grow from strength to strength and see you with former Top Gear celebrity Richard Hammond as examiner to his mock driving test. How did the event go ? Please share your exciting news! 😊
Oh hell yea, just got my driver's license in Germany (well technically not, cuz I'm not 18 yet there's thing thing called BF17) but I still love watching these vids! Tho it would've helped if you had released this a lil sooner 😅
Sit a little closer to the steering wheel. Your wrist should be able to reach the top of the steering wheel. This will give you better control of the vehicle.
Love the video and love the car! I have a 2005 M3 and currently learning to drive in it. Wasn’t the original plan but hey it is cool!! 😂 You videos have been a great help, any advice for when you have an inconsiderate driver behind that makes you feel uncomfortable? Eg Like tailgating when you are doing the speed limit. It often really puts me off driving and not wanting to drive any further.
when dealing with someone thats tailgating, its best to open up the space ahead of you. This was you will have more time to brake and given them more time to react to your braking. if that doesn't help and they still continue following too closely, then simply pull over and allow them to pass and then continue driving normally after that. hope this helps :) thank you for watching
@@ClearviewDriving thank you so much. I’ve been really struggling to find a driving instructor who one has a suitable car for me, I’m a 6ft5” so made up of mostly leg length, so cannot comfortably or safely fit in a fiesta sized car, even in my M3 the seat has to be as low and as far back as possible. So to learn I’ve been watching your videos with my dad then we have been going out and putting your videos into practice.
I dare you to come and drive a bit on Bulgarian roads, especially in the capital and a bit outside of it. If you do plan on doing that, I can help you with everything here.
You're not driving on the wrong side of the road. You are literally driving on the right side of the road.

Hilarious. 😐

Literally
wrong
@@tmangamer97 70% of the world drives on the right...
Loved that you highlighted your own faults as well
Well not all of them. At 4:09 she missed look over her right shoulder 😉 In a test situation she would have failed or at least get some minus points
@ she indicated that she checked both mirrors. Does she also need to check over her shoulder at the junction? I’m unfamiliar with the UK driving test system.
@@mcana.6675 Well at least in Germany (I´m German) she has to by law and what I know in Britain she has too.
Some people may argue she looked mirrors and that´s enough; what could possibly happen? Well, e.g. a biker could step of the houses door or a house exit gate to her right and position in her blind angle beside her and waiting for green light/drive too or something like that.
However, because that you always have to look over your shoulder (left or right) when you turn no mater what. We have so many accidents cause exact that situation. Horror is child on bicycle from e.g an exit port of schoolyard to the right and position beside a truck both waiting the traffic light turn green. There are even videos of exact that kind sh*t happen. It´s hard to watch. And truckers have no chance cause they can´t look over their shoulder and they can´t see a biker/pedestrian take that position with such a move. That´s why modern trucks have cameras and warning system for the sides blind spots (and the close front of them) nowadays.
Also blind spot while change lane is a problem and need attention. Only situation I know you don´t have too do shoulder look in Germany is when you enter a Interstate (Autobahn or Schnellstraße) or driving on it at all cause it´s to risky look over shoulder (turn body a litte bit) cause you could mess up the steering wheel a little what would be fatal at these speeds. And also there can be a lot sh*t happen in front you while you watch shoulder.
But hey, I´m not a German driving instructor. Just about a million km experience in 35 years driving all over the world.
Therefore no guarantee for my statement 😉😂
You have to give way to pedestrians when turning left or right at a traffic light junction unless there’s a green arrow then you don’t have to. Its the same all over Europe, The UK is an outlier on this one
Yeah this is how they work in America too. Green Arrows you are safe both right and left, and blinking yellow arrow or circular green pedestrians will cross.
Green arrow turning right you still need to give way pedestrians, because its their green on crossing. Its conditional right turn.
Technically we have the same rule in the Netherlands, but I have never seen a traffic light where I had to watch out for pedestrians, if it was green!
Not the same all over europe. This coming from a european (you) is pretty sad
Green arrow or not if they also have green they have priority... at least as i experienced in most places...
5:16 very well done! Yes, you're absolutely correct to stop before the crossing. So many drivers in Germany do not respect the driving law to keep pedestrian crossings and normal crossings free, when you can't drive past them.
15:07 going into a roundabout you do not activate your turn signals, only when exiting.
Weshalb sollte Sie nicht Blinken VORHER wenn Sie schon weiß wo es hingeht. Macht eigentlich nur Sinn und ist zudem vorausschauend fahren für andere verkehrsteilnehmer.

I enjoyed this video so much. Finally you are sitting and driving on the right side. Remember: Even with 220km/h on the Autobahn there will be some faster than you. Next time, go with you own car, use the ferry, travel all the way through the Netherlands to Germany. Right on the German border you will see the difference. I always enjoy driving my German car in the UK traveling to Cambridge for business - think you will too vice versa.
hey thank you for the idea, I will look up the route and plan for this! I will definitely be going back to Germany :D
U can visit me
I've been watching your channel for years at this point. As a German, it feels surreal to see you driving around Frankfurt, but so much fun :)
Love the chemistry between you and your brother, too!
Some observations:
- I love that the BMW reputation transcends borders, oceans even. They have the exact same reputation around here.
- There's no overtaking lane within city limits in Germany. You're free to choose your lane and can go slower on the left.
- Roundabouts work a little different here: You don't indicate before you enter the roundabout, you indicate right just before you're about to leave it. No left indicator ever. There's even a small fine (in theory) for what you did around 15:10 :D
My guess is you're back home already at this point, but in case you're not: I'd like to see you drive around Frankfurt inner city some more. I've encountered some insane roundabouts there, plus Frankfurt is a little "different" and has some very shady, but interesting areas to explore ;)
haha thank you for thank, i will look that up. I am back home but we did go out in the car a few times so lets see if we can spot any of those shady bits.
Imagine driving a BMW and getting a ticket for using your indicator. That would have been great content at 15:10 and absolutely worth the 10 € fine. 😂
But I have never heard of people actually getting a ticket for this. I guess police has better things to do instead of giving tourists a ticket for using their indicator in a situation it would be mandated in most other countries but unlawful in Germany.
That German regulation, it's in §8 (1a) StVO by the way, is in my top 10 list of the regulations that make the least sense. It makes the roundabout unnecessarily inefficient. I realized that when I was in Sweden where people indicate right entering the roundabout if they leave at the first exit. If you approach a roundabout, someone else is approaching it from your left and that driver is already indicating right, then you don't need to slow down that much. But for some reason Germany has to go the less efficient way in this case.
Just curious, is there a reason for the left indicator not being allowed? Here in the Netherlands, it is not mandatory but advised. I use it all the time to be clear.
@@kalijnboekhorst4387 German traffic code says explicitly that it is not allowed to indicate in any direction upon entering a roundabout.
While you are in the roundabout with the intention to stay in it, you are not taking a turn to another section of road and not switching lanes. While moving a vehicle and not taking turns or switching lanes, it is not allowed to use indicators either. So you can't use indicators inside the roundabout as well.
The only time you are allowed and actually have to use the indicator is the indicator to the right when leaving the roundabout, as you are taking a turn in doing so.
Don't ask me why that is the law. I am not the legislature in this country. But I have to agree that it doesn't make much sense.
It might be that they want people to always slow down when entering the roundabouts for safety and that's what they achieved I guess. In Sweden I noticed it myself, that after getting used to it, I went into roundabouts way faster when I was able to see other cars already indicating for the first exit. But on the other hand I slowed down much more when I noticed people indicating left for the third exit.
@@felixklusener5530What do you mean if you're staying in a roundabout how do you just stay in roundabout just keep going round and round in it ?
You're supposed to leave the roundabout in a particular direction.
In the UK you indicate before entering the roundabout why do you indicate only when you leave it in Germany,I don't get that ?
4:21 in cities, there are not actually overtaking lanes, theyre only outside of cities
Yes outside of cities is "Rechtsfahrgebot" and inside is "Freie Fahrspurwahl"
@H0m0fuerst exactly
It's nice to see people coming to Frankfurt and enjoying the fantastic roads in the beautiful Taunus mountains in a responsable way. I grew up in the Taunus, I still live near the Feldberg and people speeding and causing accidents has always been an issue on the run up there, espacially in the summer months in biker season.. Nice video!
Aman driving on the right side of the road on the correct side of the car, in a BMW, in Germany 🇩🇪 on the Autobahn … just filled me with nothing but joy! 🥰 Even she can’t help push the pedal to the metal! 🚗 💨 ❤
Congrats on 1 million subscribers and Happy New Year! 🎊
I love that you marked your own drive!
I love the way Madam Aman normally teaches her students when it come driving
The road around the Feldberg is absolutely fantastic. Love it every day I'm driving there
BMW using indicaters OMG WHAT A SPECIAL THING
No cause the fact that I watched your videos two years ago before my driving test because I was so scared and felt lost and now you were driving in my home town and even drove past my uni is so exciting to me (and this sentence made no sense lmao) at first I thought you‘d be driving in Munich because of the license plate but then I recognized Frankfurt aaaaah I’m so EXCITED!!!
Edit: OMG you drove to Feldberg!!! This was my driving instructor‘s favorite route. Now I‘m feeling even more nostalgic… this is CRAZY to me
What a delight to watch! Wish I'd had you as a driving instructor, very calming. Found you through the DriveTribe video with very well maintained professionalism but a wry humour, great to see you always have such a charming and enjoable attitude while fastidiously noting the details. Congrats on the million subs Aman, and Merry Xmas!
Hi Clearview Driving. Welcome to Germany and indeed to my general stomping ground, can't believe how close you came to where I hang out.
Anyway, thought I'd address a few things if I may, hope you don't mind! Here goes...
*4:48* what you've seen in the UK perhaps.
*7:10* there are no overtaking lanes in any German _city_ (in fact I don't think there are any in any European city). VMax in every city is always 50, or 30 or even less if signposted.
*10:07* it *is* indeed a slip road! The wider white markings on the Autobahn indicate a separation of slip roads either for entering or exiting the Autobahn. In Germany these roads are there to enable safe acceleration or deceleration over a longer than usual stretch to enable safe merging from one to the other.
*10:48* if that sign lights up it is to inform Truck drivers or vehicle drivers driving vehicles over 7,5 Tons that there is a strict no overtaking zone for them only. These signs are permanent if indicated on regular metal painted sign posts, they are temporary if depicted via an electronic sign as can be seen here. This usually lights up if traffic monitoring systems deem it too dangerous or may contribute to negatively affecting the flow of traffic if vehicles over 7,5 tons attempt to overtake, in other words only cars are allowed to overtake. Trucks overtaking if the Autobahn is too crowded will likely slow down all traffic in aggregate, hence the sign comes on to prevent lanes being unnecessarily being choked up with trucks in multiple lanes.
*11:12* welll... these German drivers aren't really crazy at all actually. Most drivers from abroad (who don't hold a German driving licence i.e. haven't (for obvious reasons) had the necessary Autobahn and general German driving tuition, might be referred to as the crazy ones if anything). Believe it or not, but the tests are also tough causing some 42% to *fail* it and need to retake it!! It's relative. If someone from the 1930s were suddenly to be teleported in to the future to 2024 they'd probably think that drivers in the UK doing 70 on the motorway ...are crazy.
*12:31* Fun fact; Bad Homburg is where I used to live.
*12:56* There are traffic density sensors (among tons of other sensors) all over the place that count the vehicles, determine the density of traffic and typical and average speeds and calculate if a speed limit on a certain stretch needs to be temporarily invoked or not. Hence they come on and go off and with varying speed limit depictions.
*15:17* the road you're on now is my way home currently. This road is very often controlled with (hidden) mobile radar traps. If you exceed the 50s, 60s and 80s limits on that road (that _goes up hill all the time_ as you are heading for the Feldberg mountain) you'll get blitzed. With a rental car they (the rental outfit) gets the fine and forwards that on to you at the address you quoted on your car rental agreement (just fyi)...
*18:59* "what's happened?". As mentioned you were climbing in altitude all the time. At 18:59 you reached some 500+ metres above sea level. It can snow severely here and higher up.
*19:46* "wow what is that?". You're now on the Feldberg, which is 881 metres above sea level. What you see there is an RF transmitter that also transmits analogue, digital radio and TV. The power output buzzing around your head right where you are there is 50kW (50 thousand watts of RF power omnidirectional into the air). It ought to be safe. If however you see people walking around there glowing orange, twitching and pulling odd faces after all, get back in the car (a Faraday cage) and drive back down! ...only kidding. :D
Have a safe trip back to the UK.

Loved this Aman. I visited Germany for a brief solo trip last year and rented from SIXT at Frankfurt airport. They upgraded me free of charge to a BMW M850i that had (at least) 500 horses 😂 I drove all the way to Stuttgart, spent hours at the Porsche museum and drove back to Frankfurt. Got plenty of autobahn miles and found a safe stretch to hit 125mph briefly. I took really good care of the car throughout my two days of driving, but the car suffered a tragic fate in the end. At SIXT rental return, I stepped out of the car, gave the keys to the attendant who conducted a visual inspection before climbing inside. He checked the fuel level, then proceeded to move the car further forward to free up space for other returning rentals. I was stood right next to the driver's side door watching him as IT happened. God knows why but he punched the gas pedal and those 500+ horses launched the poor car. straight into the rental in front. BANG! Another renter and I locked eyes in complete shock. The attendant shakily got out, asked me for a signature on his iPad, to which I firmly responded "Before I sign, that was NOT me." He assured me with a forced smile and I walked off to the terminal in complete disbelief at what just transpired. Poor guy must have been sacked on the spot. Always drive carefully!
That's a nice car the BMW M850i you got to be careful with a car that powerful you can get into trouble easily.
Insurance will pay
Its pretty much Not a big deal If a Car gets damaged at a rental Station, that obviously Happens all the time, Just fewer times with staff damaging them😅
0:55 you mean driving on the right side for the first time😉
6:30 that other BMW had the license plate starting with OF, which is short for Offenbach. But the running gag is that it stands for "Ohne Führerschein" = "without driver's license".
The drivers from that small town east of Frankfurt have ALL got the same bad rep that BMW have but tenfold.😂
So seeing that guy not sticking to his lane was fully on par with their supposed driving 'skills'. 😉😆
Edit 1: this video showed exactly my old homestretch of Autobahn. A66 to A5 to A661, up the Feldberg. Granted, at the Sandplacken with the last traffic light intersection I went on straight back in the day.
10:03 i think its still part of the entry because the lane markings are shorter lines than usual which usually indicates an entry/exit
09:41 weeeeeeeeeeeee, Aman is having such a good time, it’s so nice to see! 😃
I used to tell my instructor I watch driving lesson videos of people in London on RUclips, and he’s like: don’t watch those you’re going to get confused. Because you guys literally drive on the other side of the road. But here we are now you’re driving in Europe! Thanks for sharing your first experience with the Germany roads, it was great to see!
Whole world drive on rightside execpt uk 😂
@@aftech2148Japan,India,Australia,Vietnam,Indonesia,Ireland etc. also drive on the left.
@@Neo-jg9qsNew Zealand too, in Europe Malta too.
Clean driving . I don’t know if they teach this in the UK but when changing lanes in Germany we are teached to do a Schulterblick which means glancing over your shoulder in the lane you are changing into that is to overcome the blindspot .
Hey, just FYI: The "Rechtsfahrgebot", the part where it states to drive on the right most lane, only applies outside of city limits. Within city limits, as long as your vehicle has no more than a 3,5t maximum permissible weight limit, you can chose which ever lane.
However, the "Rechtsfahrgebot" also orders a driver to drive right most in the lane they are in. Though, very important, it does not state to drive as much right as possible, as you also have to take into account safety distances. So, "right most" means as much right as you can while assuring your own safety and that of others.
Yes, the sign means no overtaking for trucks/lorries.
Regarding traffic lights and crossings I'm guessing they're programmed the same way as here in Sweden. If the light is just green, it can be green for pedestrians and/or cyclists. If you get an arrow in the direction of the crossing they should have a red light. Of course you still need to check for people that are already out on the crossing though.
I'm more used to the older style BMW cruise control that had a separate stalk and prefer it, but if Set gave an undesired result, although Res is what's used to resume a previosuly set speed, you should have been able to use the up/down rocker instead to set the speed manually.
Regarding the lowering mirror in reverse, you can choose if it does it or not by changing the position of the switch for adjusting the left or right mirror, if you already didn't notice that. So if you find yourself in a BMW with electric mirrors with memory and it doesn't do it, try moving the switch for adjusting the left or right mirror.
I despise the auto lowering of the mirror(s) when reversing in newer cars. I don't wanna see the road, I wanna be able to see if any pedestrians are going to walk behind me as I'm reversing. I work on a busy vehicle prep site and people walk around all over all the time, so only being able to see the floor is very very risky
@@gamer-8955 As I pointed out, you're free to choose to have it lower or not in this case, so there's nothing to despise. BMW has had this function in at least some models for more than two decades, given the right equipment level of course. Maybe you don't care, but it serves the purpose of being able to see the kerb and such, around the area of the rear wheel, without having to stretch and/or lean far over on the passenger side.
Lovejit is a legend. 😂😂😂 taking the driving instructor practice run very seriously
haha he really took it too seriously 🤣
Since I haven't seen it mentioned in the comments - at 18:00 you should check the sliproad on the right because you should yield to the potential car there
German roads, German roads 😍🖤❤️💛 driving Autobahn (when it' free of daily traffic) is an experience! 😍
Your little 'weeeeeee' cracked me up, mainly because that is exactly what I do too in similar situations 😂
Nicely done. My first time in Germany was 2006 and my first time driving in 2007. I've always enjoyed driving here. I now live here since 2018 and I actually get scared driving in the UK again. But then again we took our 7m left hand drive motorhome with us last time so that's quite a challenge driving on the left again!
learnt to drive to in Germany and now have no idea how it would be driving in England if I was to go back 😆😩
Hi Aman! You and Richard from Conquer driving seem to be completely passionate about the subject of learning to drive. It would be great to see a video of you mock test each other. I wonder how two such positive instructors would fare in such a setup. I'll paste the same comment under his latest video for him.
I love your positive energy. Great driving in my home country. I hope you guys have a wonderful time here. Have a safe trip. ♥ Merry christmas! 🎄🧑🎄
the BMW driver definition was spot-on
10:01 that lane is for when there's congestion. The traffic computer for that part of the highway will check vehicle speeds and car amount at different points on that road. If it then determines that an additional lane is necessary, it will activate it by showing specific signs to the drivers that there's now an additional lane available to ease congestion.
8:17 driving test failed. The examiner slammed on the brakes.
Hahaha 😂 dual control used
this car is absolutely insane! Easily the best, most stunning car ever made. ❤
But honestly, it’s painful to see how you’re treating it! :))
Since you marked when you got too close to other cars, in germany you would have failed your driving test on several occasions because you didn't do the what we call Schulterblick (translated: Shoulder view), especially on the Autobahn. You have to make it obvious to the driving instructor that you checked your blindspots before you merge.
You obviously had your guard up everywhere else, you didn't drive "wrong" exactly, but I though it would make sense to mention that.
If you want to be able to drive really fast you can take the A5 down towards Weiterstadt, its really fun
2:45 when going straight you do not use your blinker, is illegal because you are not changing your direction and is also dangerous and confusing for other drivers
I had a brand new Toyota Avensis, which was limited to 137mph. The car was quite happy cruising at 110 mph with the cruise on. However, it didn’t stop drivers of big BMWs, Audis and Mercs racing up behind me, flashing at me to get out the way.
God, I miss Germany. Take me back!
Fun fact: in Germany (and Austria afaik) the rule to keep to the rightmost lane (Rechtsfahrgebot) no longer applies in towns (marked with the town sign). It only applies outside of town, on dual carriageways and highways (Autobahn). The official rule is u need to pick the lane such that it’s most efficient for traffic flow. I was very surprised to learn that!
You're literally on the right side of the road now! ^^
10:48 yes, trucks cant overtake (they do anyways all the time though)
4:48 sounds like driving in Chicago or Detroit. Turn signals mean the car is gonna speed up so you can’t go in front of them. Unless you going at less 15 over you are getting run off the road on the highway.
10:09 the road is talking to you. Just take a look at the different markings/lines/linetypes.
12:40 the dynamic speedlimits depend on traffic (speed/density,etc) and weather/road characteristics (wet,icy, etc.)
The most responsible BMW Driver in all of Germany!
7:56 quietest day in Frankfurt
very cool video as a german i liked it!!!
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers
thank you :)
Hi if you are in a lane showing arrows an a straight line dont change shortly! And if there are different traffic lights you may run a red light! At some crossings there are red light runner flashers so if your are in a rented car they might give you the ticket to pay!
Congrats on 1 mil Aman! Thank you for your wonderful videos, they are a blast to watch. As for future video ideas, I'd love to see you navigating the roundabout at the Arc de Triomphe! I get anxiety just thinking about it haha
4:22 there is no such thing as an "overtaking lane" when driving in the city. Vehicles under 3.5 metric tons can choose their lanes freely and keep themselves left the whole drive.
I suppose in the city that may be the case as the lanes are smaller and I even noticed vans parking in the centre of the road for deliveries
Congrats on 1 mil! What did you think of the roads and infrastructure in Germany in general? Did you do more driving on the autobahn, at more quiet hours (higher speeds, lol)? What did you think of the discipline at which Germans drive?
As for another country, check out the Netherlands, have a look at their road infrastructure, especially the biking side.
hey it was great, the roads are really nice and wide on the autobahn. The lane discipline is really good but I do feel that German drivers switch lanes a little suddenly. as in the steering motion seems a little quick at times.
its probably because the lane discipline is so good and they switch to get back into the right lane all the time
@@ClearviewDrivingWe’re thaught to switch quickly. When you’re switching lanes, you’re basically in two lanes, we’re trying to minimize that time.
@@ClearviewDriving if you think the lane switching in Germany is quick dont go to France or Spain. They instantly switch lanes 5m infront of you with no regard to speed difference
So strange driving on other side of road!
ye on the proper side 😂
on the better side😂😂
@@skidnoob6991 its not... we read, write do everything left to right
@@540MSB You don't drive across the road, but along it, so I don't see the relevance in how people read. The thing with the British Isles is that they're mostly the odd ones out in Europe. We used to drive on the left where I live, but don't since many, many decades. The trains mainly use the left track out on the line if there are two here though.
@@MrStonegrove well you do drive along a road depending what angle you look at it
oh my goodddd!!! iḿ a german follower of yours and i was ALWAYS wondering how you would react to german roads😍😳
hey :) thank you for watching 🥰
10:48 yes it does, until there is a sign like that with lines going thrpugh it from the top left to the bottom right not truck is allowed to overtake
Wow the Snow and trees are beautiful
IT WAS FREEZING COLD UP THERE 🥶
😊 that was really cool seeing you drive on the same side that we drive in the USA and Canada
I didn't mind being on the right, it was the left hand dried that threw me off
I love the 70s sitcom music.
14:59
Never signal before entering a roundabout in Germany. You can only signal when exiting a roundabout.
But it's more obvious that I'm about to exit the first exit to the right than when I "keep to the law". I also really appreciate it when someone indicates left when they remain in the roundabout so that I know definitely that I can enter.
but dont signal too late so the other one can start drive right as you turn
i definitely neded to do more roundabout there
@@ClearviewDriving In Germany we just signal for leaving the roundabout. But like Lovejit said: Beware of cars coming from the left (or which are already in the roundabout).
It is better if the driver indicates in advance that he will take the first exit. It helps the traffic flow. There is no such thing as “never this and never that” here.
This was fun to watch! Finally you drive on the right way like I'm used too. When you are in Germany, please take some of the road in the Netherlands, it will bu fun for me bc I'm Dutch!🧡 not that our roads are that special, it is different :)
Seen this channel for the 1st time but I had to watch it because you are driving around in Frankfurt. 10:17 this entry lane is very long because there is often congestion in the peak hours and then also, they open the shoulder as an additional lane (so then you would be able to just continue on the lane).
The car has such a beautiful colour!
08:18 I love how Aman gave herself a serious fault! 😁
Lived in Germany for 5 years from 1988 to 93. Will watch this with great interest.
aww thank you, hope you enjoy it! I loved the trip and will be going back 😁
As a preperation for a journey to England I just wanted to inform myself about how to handle roundabouts in the UK correctly (I have never driven on your "right" side of the road before), and so I came to your channel - by pure coincidence -, and the next moment I find myself watching you in exact the same but opposite position, driving through my home area, the Taunus mountains, using the exact same roads that I use every week. How small the world is, isn't it? Lots of love from Germany! ...and thanks to Diana ;)
Oh wow - my favourite driving instructor driving around in my home town😅
Great to see you enjoyed the road up to the Feldberg.
Those who drive on the right side of the road are more times correct than those who drive on the left side of the road... if one consider all the vehicles one can drive on the road....
I am driving on Autobahn literally every day and I can't imagine going slower then like 120 or 130 kmh, once when you are used to it, everything seems so slow. I know its dangerous but again there are no accidents where I drive 🤷
Funny to see a driving Instructor using the „dishwasher-steering“.
Absolutely the right car: M4 Competition with 510 HP in the hand of a total rookie, bare of any driving talents or capabilities driving in the only country of the world without speed limits. Brilliant idea!
"A total rookie bare of any capabilities..?" Do you even know what channel you're on?
@@michaelcliffe562 Yepp. I know AND i can read. That all does`nt make it better. So you think, that girl can handle this car?
@@kurrywurst0815 I do since she was humble, cautious and respected the fact that it's a very fast car and on top of that didn't get into trouble in wet, cold road conditions, which is the essence of being a good driver. The fact that you refer to her as a "girl" leads to believe that your ego took some kind of hit...
@@michaelcliffe562 Understood. The point is, that if want to "try" something, it's not the greatest idea to do so on public roads. There are plenty of racetracks and other closed tracks available to avoid accidents with other ppl on the road.. My criticism has nothing to do with my ego, but is based on the facts that everyone can see. The seating position, steering, using the accelerator pedal and choosing a lane on the road. Why do dealers prefer to sell such cars to people who believe their driving skills automatically increase with the performance of the vehicle? Exactly. Because they'll need a new car soon.
Speaking of ego, yours reads like someone stepped on your part?
I'm from Central europe but live in England also leant to drive in England. the level of anxiety I got just by seeing you drive on the right... Not sure when I'm going to be mentally ready for a trip home with car... but it is scary for sure 👀
Would be cool to see you drive with a German driving instructor who really knows about alle the rules, signs and things like that. But that means you would need to find someone (we do have some German RUclips driving instructors). 😉
Please make a video for experienced drivers that drive for the first time on left side of the road. What are the main differences they should be careful about? Would love to watch that video.
Would have never expected seeing you, driving around my hometown Oberursel and especially on the Feldberg. Like what are the odds you choose exactly that place 😂. So fun seeing you driving the roads, I drive every day😂.
Just a little fun fact. The Feldberg is like the place to be for Car Meet ups in Winter actually.
Beeeeeep 4:09 ........ And this is the Moment when she would have failed the Driver-Test (in both Britain and Germany) or at least get some heavy minus points
due to she missed look over her right shoulder when turning right. Watching mirrors alone are not enough also in this traffic /traffic light situation when turning like that.
4:25 He made a mistake when turning right. According to the rules for turning right, he must turn in a small arc, meaning he should have arrived in the outside lane (right lane) not the inside lane (left lane).
Love the car and the colour. The purr when she picked up speed 👌. I was abit like lovejit wanting you to speed up 😂😂
haha he wanted me to put my foot down throughout
@ClearviewDriving I'm sure if you knew the roads better and knew the car more you'd have been confident to do so 👌.
❤because the world is seeing you, 😊you really helping we all thank you so much Aman. May Allah (God) protect and bless you ❤❤❤.
thank you ☺️
In the cities in germany there is no overtaking or normal lane, they are equal!. No need to lean forward when goint on the Autobahn, we do shoulder views, much safer!
I just love watching you drive like the pro that you are Aman🎉❤😁
heh thank you, but I make mistakes too :) its all about learning from them
We need more german drive videos!
yes sir!
Aren't your arms a bit too straight for driving. I see you leaning forward because of that. Also cornering is harder that way
Luckily, there are more countries driving on the right side (instead of the wrong side :-)) -- I would likely try to avoid having to drive on the "wrong" side.
Also, funny thing -- you have this huge display in the car, which suggests it's not an antique, and I could even see the map on display... yet, you're driving with a co-pilot giving directions... which seem to come from some navigation software on his phone...
Is the BMW software that bad?
Yay!!! Hi Lovejit 🎉
Also do the Netherlands if you have the opportunity!! That would be cool
Wow Aman!
It’s great to see your popularity grow from strength to strength and see you with former Top Gear celebrity Richard Hammond as examiner to his mock driving test.
How did the event go ? Please share your exciting news! 😊
should've tried the sport mode
next time :)
Yes!!!! I love Germany!! ❤ one day I want to go to the Nürburgring and spend 2 weeks as a holiday there
6:18 don't you have to follow the left traffic light when turning left AND going straight??? At least in Spain that's how it works
Oh hell yea, just got my driver's license in Germany (well technically not, cuz I'm not 18 yet there's thing thing called BF17) but I still love watching these vids! Tho it would've helped if you had released this a lil sooner 😅
Finally! Now you need to try out driving in the Netherlands! ❤😊
You have to go to Autobahn with ledd traffic and go jo in speed. Tet The no limits roads!
Hi Aman. Awesome car and an exhilerating journery abroad. Great to see you challenge your gremlins.😊
Sit a little closer to the steering wheel.
Your wrist should be able to reach the top of the steering wheel.
This will give you better control of the vehicle.
Love the video and love the car!
I have a 2005 M3 and currently learning to drive in it. Wasn’t the original plan but hey it is cool!! 😂
You videos have been a great help, any advice for when you have an inconsiderate driver behind that makes you feel uncomfortable? Eg Like tailgating when you are doing the speed limit. It often really puts me off driving and not wanting to drive any further.
when dealing with someone thats tailgating, its best to open up the space ahead of you. This was you will have more time to brake and given them more time to react to your braking.
if that doesn't help and they still continue following too closely, then simply pull over and allow them to pass and then continue driving normally after that.
hope this helps :)
thank you for watching
@@ClearviewDriving thank you so much.
I’ve been really struggling to find a driving instructor who one has a suitable car for me, I’m a 6ft5” so made up of mostly leg length, so cannot comfortably or safely fit in a fiesta sized car, even in my M3 the seat has to be as low and as far back as possible.
So to learn I’ve been watching your videos with my dad then we have been going out and putting your videos into practice.
Good job,,,,,Well done!!! Aman🤟 What do you say...Is it easier to drive in Germany as compared to UK?
I dare you to come and drive a bit on Bulgarian roads, especially in the capital and a bit outside of it. If you do plan on doing that, I can help you with everything here.
