Excellent video. Nothing shouts you are getting Germanized than wearing Jack Wolfskin jacket 😉
Hi from Brasil. Thanks a lot
Thank you, I did not understand much the first time that I watched the video, but after studying the signs a little bit, this makes so much more sense!
This is quite basic all over Europe 😉
What is the rule should there be more than 1 car queuing on your right? Do you let everyone go, or just one?
Thanks mam nice Information
Hello there again… don't mind me just continuing the binge
Thanks Jen for such a nice video.
Quick question: whats the difference between two signs( Rhombus shape yellow in the middle vs Triangular red board with black rocket in the middle) . ? both have the priority over right before left , right ? so what are the other differences?
straight to the point unlike others making 10min. videos for just explaining right before left! thank u:)
Oh man 😩
Thank you!
thanks 🙂
many thanks, please also guide on Priority with Bend Signs at intersections ,
may be another 25 years and Germans may become less complex !!!!!
Hey there when we have diamond sign (302) is that means that i can go right ahead, also take right and left turn?
1:32 You do not need to stop always ..it just means you have to be carefull and if there is a car coming from the right you have to give them their right of way.
I am going to Germany on Sunday for a week to search for a home. I'm quite nervous about driving there, wish me luck!
Very bad explanation, i have not understood anything
Thank you for the video, but Worst driving rule ever!!! (Would hate to miss those signs, the primary road sign is not even 30cm square) See how you are driving on a more established road, and some little side street gets right away. I hate this rule.
Daft rules
this rule is a bit confusing for me, as a foreigner driver, specially when the lane is in a T shape. To me is very unnatural that the people coming from a long road, should stop for drivers joining from a road that is ending, at the same time is very unnatural to join in a new road (as the right driver) without checking to the left and giving priority to the faster traffic there.
It took some time to stop failing at this on the driving lessons for the transfer.
Prioritize the vehicles from the right side. That's all
do you have series on all traffic rules ??
Cld someone please explain to me the right before left rule again, because im struggling to grasp some things she's saying 🙏.
if car has priority cross junction but tram is coming from right who goes first.
If the car can pass with the symbol at the time stamp 1:00, how is it different from yellow priority symbol?
nicely explained..thank you for getting this done
🚕
Wooooow thanks dear madam
Nearly every country in the world has this rule. It's worrying that people all surprised by it 😬
Right before Left except in Politics
👍
thanks a lot
Thanks
I love this video and i will be looking to see if you have any others like this. Thank you!
So it’s the complete opposite to the U.K. and Ireland. This really makes no sense to me. Why should the traffic on the main road driving at say 50km/h stop for someone joining the road every time? That just makes it very difficult and annoying to progress down the street.
This is not straight to the point, I'm sorry. Yes, you don't need a 10 min video for this rule, but you also don't need a 2m30 video, and, again, this is not to the point, but confusing, beginning with all the exceptions and misleading examples with situations away from the rule in question. All of it can be concluded in just one sentence and with that you'll not even need a video, especially not such a meandering one like this. The sentence is:
“At an intersection/junction with no signs, the vehicle approaching from the right has priority.”
That's all. Easy, isn't it?
This is concluded in the German slogan „Rechts vor Links“ which is hammered in every German from childhood and before the beginning of learning how to participate in driven traffic, be it a tricyle or a truck. Yes, you could put that in a video, but then 20 to 30 seconds will suffice, STARTING with the situation the rule applies to and doing all the exceptions afterwards. and NOT referrring to terms like "main" oder "side" street. If there are no signs, the "size" of the roads in question is meaningless.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely appreciate your content and all the help it may provide to expats or soon-to-be-expats, but I think, this one has a certain level of confusion. Carry on!
Because of your Video, i am going to finally buy a bike and start riding in germany. Last time i rode bike was when i was a teenager and now i am almost 40! I am scared of rules here . If i am on road (due to no cycling lane), i am guessing these rules apply to cyclists too? Sorry for asking stupid questions. Thanks for useful content you both create .
