The warning triangle goes in there. Required in Europe or at least Germany.

It is so weird that US market does not need so many safety features like Hazard Triangles or Fire Extinguishers... but ambient temperature is needed, although no one requires snow tires. So confusing nation.
RTFM is no longer a politically correct response and the search function is a lost art. 🤷♂️Anyone keeping a tally of how many times this has been asked?
Luckily you have the patience of a saint. 😉
Thanks for the information and I apologize for the redundancy! Now if only I could find my R key fob covers, LOL!
LOL, but the Autobahn in Germany where you can drive practically unlimited speed is not a confusing thing? Come on! Every nation has "confusing rules", quite singling out the US.It is so weird that US market does not need so many safety features like Hazard Triangles or Fire Extinguishers... but ambient temperature is needed, although no one requires snow tires.

What's confusing about the AB? Drive to the right unless you're actively passing someone, pay attention to road signs to know if you're in an unrestricted zone and always watch your mirrors for faster traffic coming up behind you. If only American drivers could handle such complex stuff.LOL, but the Autobahn in Germany where you can drive practically unlimited speed is not a confusing thing? Come on!

Funny aside, it's illegal to pass on the right on the AB, and the one time I sat behind a car in the left lane that wouldn't get over, I finally went around them to the right, after checking for any popo in my mirrors, and when I went around, I looked over at the driver, and it was, you guessed it, an American officer with his hat on.

I just think it's hilarious this person is saying the US "needs" to regulate adding a triangle and fire extinguisher for safety, but yet a country (as purely just an example) like Germany has the Autobahn where you can drive unlimited speeds. One can sit here and argue both sides here for sure, but I just wanted to point out, the US isn't the only country around here as a "confusing nation"... All nations are "confusing"!!What's confusing about the AB?

Ahhh, but when I wreck on the Autobahn doing 200mph, I can safely know that I have my red triangle to put alongside my car and feel safe 😄 These red triangles don't do jack against people who are impaired driving drunk or on drugs, and for those staring at their cell phones.
I admit that the first time we came up on an accident on the unrestricted autobahn, I did get chills. Trees got a little shorter as you could see the trajectory the car took.Ahhh, but when I wreck on the Autobahn doing 200mph, I can safely know that I have my red triangle to put alongside my car and feel safe 😄 These red triangles don't do jack against people who are impaired driving drunk or on drugs, and for those staring at their cell phones.
I remember watching some history channel special about the AB years ago, and they had a German Police officer saying that tailgating tickets were what he handed out the most. He then said the fine was based on income tier, so he once gave a guy in a Ferrari a 15,000 DM ticket.What's confusing about the AB?

I really wish Americans understood the whole move right if you can thing, since it would cause far less accidents. People shouldn't be trying to force their way around on the right. Of course, Americans are that perfect mix of cluelessness and entitlement.
We had German colleague who worked in Rome drive back to Frankfurt for a meeting and he got pulled over in Switzerland for 250kph in a 120 zone, the ticket was based on his income and over 3k Euros. I always paid attention going into Switzerland after that. The worst was France, with the EU, there's no border check, you just have to know you've left the Autobahn, and they're smart and usually ran some police near the border just to nab the idiots like me.
I feel this is universally a trait of traffic cops. In Virginia, we used to joke that Dinwiddie County (just south of Petersburg) existed to write speeding ticket on I-95 north. This was back when speed limits on interstate highways in Virginia were generally 65mph in rural areas, but it dropped to 55mph entering the county for the purpose of generating revenue.We had German colleague who worked in Rome drive back to Frankfurt for a meeting and he got pulled over in Switzerland for 250kph in a 120 zone, the ticket was based on his income and over 3k Euros.
