Tasha My parents of course didn't allow me to go freely, even though I went with them.

Why is this? Anyway I don't see a point to take off the belt in the car rather than at home

Tasha travelling at triple digit kph)

Do you live in Germany? 😂

Tasha but I had this thought of 'if I had to.. in a parking lot or somewhere people could see, how would I do it?'

No tinted windows?

          Laura No tinted windows?

          Banned. People do get them but the police fines. We aren't that rich 🙁

          Probably a kind of power-trip on their end. I don't see any point in that either, but I do wish to know what can be done if I'm in such a situation

              Good point.

                  Ines I agree it doesn't make much sense to me either. This is the first time it happened. I'm hoping for this to be a one time occurrence.

                  Laura Do you live in Germany?

                  India uses kph for speed. The newer highways are nice 👌 old ones are bumpy and riddled with potholes.

                        Laura But they are usually larger than 100 km/h on the motorways. That is only like 60 mph or so in American terms.

                            Laura

                            120 km/h here, on highways. 90 on standard roads.

                              Laura Most European countries are in the 120-140 range. Germany is the exception being limitless with 130 "officially recommended". 80-100 is common for rural roads not built up to motorway standards.

                                Laura 100 almost everywhere in Europe, but Germany

                                Restrictions in Poland on main intercity roads:
                                expressways - 120 km/h (75 mph)
                                highways - 140 km/h (87 mph)
                                Usually people drive "a bit" faster 😉

                                  Laura we have speed limits. And traffic rules.

                                  No one follows them unless there is a patrol car. People drive on the wrong side on highways, tuktuks pop out of no where.

                                  Speed limits are 60-90kph (excludong expressways which are basically point to point roads connecting major cities, not common at all.) as far as I'm aware. Rural roads, we drive at 20-50 kph max, lots of people and animals that can pop out of nowhere.

                                  As Andrew says, people drive a "bit" faster.

                                    Laura I don't see a point to take off the belt in the car rather than at home

                                    She might not be picked up/dropped off at home.

                                    Park at the far end of the parking lot, where people go rarely.

                                    Tasha I'm hoping for this to be a one time occurrence.

                                    Since you run your business, it's less likely you always stay home.

                                    Laura Yes, I know it's around 65 mph. But where did you see more?

                                    70 in Texas.

                                              Renita Since you run your business, it's less likely you always stay home.

                                              Currently running my business only needs a laptop and a internet connection. Perks of being in IT.

                                              And if it's going to be on a business trip > a few days then I can't be belted. I need to clean myself.

                                                  youdontknowme I mean, sure, that is the point at which the couple is considered married, but a non-consummated marriage could be annulled

                                                  I admit, I didn't know that

                                                  Tasha I don't see any point in that either,

                                                  i don't see any logic in it either, if you get the belt off at home and then get straight into the car with your parents and immediately put the belt back on again at home, i don't see where you can cheating

                                                        Angelina as I said, I think it was a sort of power trip by them. Sometimes my parents can be super weird to understand. I haven't been able to understand in the 19 ish years I've been with them 🤷‍♀️

                                                            Any luck with the belt picture?

                                                            Sorry, this is bad behaviour from the KH. What they do and how they decide should always be known in advance.

                                                                I have looked for some pictures, none that really match. What are thr main stream manufacturers for belts? I think most are in Germany? I am curios why that is
