    In Canada it is not illegal to run out of fuel. But some towns are 300km apart or more so some signs warn you to fill up before leaving. If not then you will either freeze to death or a bear or wolves will eat you because no one will probably be around to help you.

      Though if the languages of both countries are somewhat similar, you are able to understand certain things. For example, in my home region of Galicia (northwestern Spain) we have a native tongue that hails from the medieval version of Portuguese, so we are mostly able to communicate without issues with them (unlike many other Spaniards). Considering our languages are so similar, it’s easy to make out what they are talking to you about

Begitu juga kalo mobil kita dikasih ruang sama truk trailer, kita harus ngasi sein begitu. Tapi kalo kamu praktekkan di Alas Roban sekarang ya percuma, Gajah Oling dkk ga bakal mudheng. 2002 dulu pas nyetir Surabaya-Jakarta udah ta' coba ngga ada yang paham. Paling banter ya kode klakson.

    In Germany it's a regulatory offense to run out of fuel on the Autobahn or motorways and you may be fined. To be precise, it's a regulatory offense to stop at the Autobahn unless the reason is car trouble (beside traffic jam of course). And since running out of fuel is seen as avoidable it doesn't count as breakdown.
