heard from a friend that came from the Netherlands to Germany and he said it took almost 100km until he realized that the city "Ausfahrt" isn't a city but the exit ^^

Well, that's Driving in Germany, not in Europe. Try to find that signs in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France,...

Thank you! This makes me a lot less nervous about driving in Germany this summer. :D Your videos and website are so incredibly helpful.

I live in England and from my experience most (if not all) European cars (even ones made by American manufacturers like Ford) have mph and kph marked on the speedo so it's probably best not to freak out would-be tourists by telling them they need to do quick maths to work out if they are breaking the law or not! ;)
