    Ok, I don’t speak German, I didn’t read the article, I’m just staring at this picture trying to understand how it’s going to work. So, the truck is in the left lane connected to the electrical network on top. There are cars behind it, so it’s not an exclusive lane. Now, suppose there’s a slow car in front of the truck. The truck can’t pass by the left, it’s the slow car that must go to the left to allow the truck to pass, but that violates traffic laws. Is that right?

      It’s relatively unusual that trucks pass by cars on the Autobahn because trucks have a maximum speed limit of 80 km/h and there is a general minimum speed limit of 60 km/h. In fact, it is very uncommon that there is a vehicle slower than 80 km/h.

        Technically not correct: your car needs to be able to do 60kph to enter the Autobahn, but you’re not required to go at least those 60kph.
