Friday The 13th, A Car Crash & Google Translate Part III

March 17th, 2009 | View Comments

Google Translate Part IIIOn Friday, March 13th, 2009, me and my fiancée were on our way to my parents, driving down the Autobahn A7 Hannover in the direction of Kassel, when we had to stop in a traffic jam near the departure to Hildesheim.

Fortunately, we had left a gap for the police and the ambulance (as so-called “Rettungsgasse”) – otherwise, the guy that was coming to a stop right between our car (middle lane) and the others (left lane) would have crashed right into us… seems like he was a little distracted.

SO, PEOPLE, REMEMBER:
ALWAYS LEAVE THAT GAP IF YOU ARE IN A TRAFFIC JAM, EVEN IF SOME PEOPLE TELL YOU NOT TO – IT CAN SAVE YOU FROM BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED – MAYBE IT CAN EVEN SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Here are two links that explain that gap called “Rettungsgasse” (both in German):

I found an article about this accident on the website of the “Hannover Zeitung“. As I wanted my English readers to participate in this, I used the Google Translation Service to translate the German article into English.

You can look at the result on my Flickr site.

Well, it seems like Google Translate still needs work… :-)

  • Well, indeed, I have taken a look at that "Tucson SEO Solutions" website and found my blog mentioned there, commented with these words:

    This blog covers Internet marketing, WordPress, and techie kinds of things. It appears to be updated once a week or so. The blog also includes Comment Luv.

    See http://tinyurl.com/dcmqhk.

    I have no idea why my site is mentioned there. I also have my doubts that I am writing about "Internet marketing" as such. Whatever, the WordPress and the techie stuff appears to be true.

    I have absolutely no interest in mutual linking to websites that I have never heard of before, sorry - therefore the TinyURL and not the complete URL.

    Thanks, Rhys, for the hint.
  • Hi
    I like to have a gap and a half, but usually some Ergh comes and fills it up!

    Off topic, but:

    Have you seen the ‘review' of your site on Tuscson SEO Solutions? (85)

    Cheers - Rhys
