For those who didn't know....Germany has (for years and years) a Sunday driving ban for commercial trucks (tractor trailer rigs). On Saturday evening, you are supposed to park and be off the road by midnight. If you fail? A ticket (on the expensive side).
Well....there's a announced railway strike to occur on Monday...total halt to all trains.
The Minister of Transportation has gone to the sixteen state governments in Germany this afternoon and asked for them to bless a waiver for trucks to continue to operate on Sunday.
Odds of this being accepted? I'll just say it's at the last minute and in half of the states....it's not going to be appreciated to bring up this idea. I'd take a guess that Bavaria and the Pfalz....will quickly approve the idea, but the rest are unknowns.
