62

Follow the red tail rear lamps,as they come closer, touch the brake, as they go farther away, push down a little on the accelerator. There is traffic coming in from the slip road, change to the left lane. The car ahead is close now. The lane to the right fills up, the aggressive drivers attempting to take over the road, to cut over on to the left lane.
Pass the slow truck, there has been an accident, police car and flashing blue lights. There is a glimpse of  a car facing the wrong way with a crushed snout.
The driver had a bad start to the day.

Now the traffic is moving faster again, the car behind is but a few meters away. A person in a hurry. Do not accelerate, do not allow that person to intimidate, do not react with anger, it would be stupid. The many small lights  on the front of the following car come closer, each headlight surrounded by a group of smaller lights, like a luminescent eye makup. They are angry lights. The truck is passed now, check the mirror image and pull over to the left lane, into the dark space there. The white car that had been bullying has now passed, cutting in ahead, onto the left lane, onto the slip road, red lights flare, and it leaves the motorway on the slip road to the airport. The point was: To visibly make an effort and to show that you are in a hurry.
It is unclear how this drivers day is starting.

Leave the motorway via the slip  road for Freising south, and join the traffic on the side roads. There is an industrial area, huge warehouses with proud illuminations of their brands, early morning trucks  waiting at traffic lights.

With all the distraction, overlook the yellow sight for Dietersheim. Use the brakes to slow down as a reaction to the blinking road sign showing the number "62" in huge red letters. A speed warning, this is a village that is right on the main road. Slow down. There are many trucks parked outside a roadside bakery, their drivers taking an early morning break.
It is not far to work now, it is twenty five to seven in the mornig.
And it is dark and cold
