Hi all, I toured through Germany last year & in a hasty moment I got folling a fast German plated VW golf who looked like he knew the road. In this few miles of madness I got the feel of the long arm of the German law. The car driver got a fist full of paper work & a very sheepish look on his face. Both my mate & myself got a on the spot fine & a ticket to show our offence.
200€ lighter we continued on with the rest of the tour & forgot about it. Being it now 8 months on & after getting the 3rd letter from the German authorities I decided to use Google translate to see what the letters were about. After the online translation it seams the German authorities are still awaiting my license to be sent to them for a ban to be implemented (like that's going to happen) & I will be apprehended if I cross onto their border..!
Has anyone encountered this with the German law?
Goes without saying my 2016 tour is going no where near German soil, Spain & Portugal here I come..!
