Hochbegabung You Die approaching a crossroads, the traffic is flowing and you distinguish two, three hundred meters a traffic light, still green. As a pilot warned, you lift your foot slightly and let your vehicle roll quietly, waiting understood that the fire will turn from green to red and then you are done plenty of time to stop it.
It's an everyday situation, you might say, that certainly does not require special precautions. It'll probably never come to the idea of throwing a glance around looking for road signs that remind you to order and force you to slow ...
Well, the same situation with our German neighbors surprise you even more. It is there all at normal to find some respectable distance from an intersection a sign indicating a mandatory speed limit of 70 km / h. On this first panel following a second analog signal, which indicates a speed limit of 50 km / h ; Often you find a third which limits you to a speed of 30 km / h, to eventually lead you to the crossroads in question, where you stop naturally.
And then, after resuming your trip - probably because our neighbors will see a certain aesthetic - everything is repeated in reverse order.
All these precautions are necessary because they do not know the Germans, only to come off at a certain speed, it should naturally go through the stage 70, 50 and 30 km / h? Or reach for it again, it must take its foot off the brake pedal and obviously push the gas to again pass the milestone of 30, 50 and 70 km / h?
The question is so trivial that the answer is clear: of course not!
What could (often) laughter in everyday road traffic has its roots in a much deeper field of the German psyche, namely its need innébranlable almost want to settle everything down to the smallest detail.
In the land of poets and thinkers as they call it often in memory of its great personalities Schiller and Goethe, this trait is found in all areas of life. In politics, the economy, in the life of Mr. All-The-World.
is certainly a great advantage in certain crucial issues such as the question, when we can declare a person dead, than deal with all the details, however small they are. But this leads to other situations with enough wacky results. It is not surprising for example that 70% of the global tax literature is devoted to German regulations. Examples
less comic are in the field of new technologies. Did you know that the MP3 music on your mobile phone was a German invention? But it is the Japanese who made a commercial success. The German company that once invented television - black and white and color - no longer exists. It's the same in biotechnology, pharmaceutical and many, many others: the ideas are of German origin, their commercial realization is done abroad. The Germans are worried about what might happen (unfortunately they often expect the worst!), Foreigners are wondering meanwhile lead as the invention or discovery to commercial maturity.
For a country that has no mineral resources, oil or gas and that "lives" so to speak what happens between the ears of its citizens, we have here is one situation may be alarmand. It is hoped that the mentality will change for generations to come ....
It is time for some clues - and the author of this text, who lives in Germany since 23 years now, knows whereof he speaks - suggest that this "disease" is contagious with a high degree! And there is more fun at all!
