Yes, it was in 1994, but iirc, there were just restrictions on using cars with no closed- loop catalyst during ozone smog (There were still many of them around in Germany in those days ).
All vehicles, who were allowed to drive, were restricted to 56 mph, i.e. 90 km/h.
Of course, if you were returning from a longer trip by car, you were obviously exempt 😊
Still, it was rescinded very quickly, since the regulations didn’t lower ozone emissions by a significant margin.
Interesting.
I actually spend many, many years in Germany and I have never heard of that. 🤷♀️
Do you mind telling me, where you were stationed?
Ops, I just noticed your other message about Mannheim....
Hahaha.... Mir ging gerade ein Licht auf! 💡
Wir kennen uns doch.
Hatte keine Ahnung das du Soldat warst.
Hoffe es geht dir gut! 😘
