Viral post of 'mass desertion' of cars in Germany due to rising fuel prices, turns out to be fake


The story is about Germany, but the photo is from china
The photo is in china not Germany
There was a crash of trucks, caused by fog
This is from 2017, it is out of date
The photo was taken in 2010
One of the question that are ask was...... Is this a real story or a fake Story?
The story is fake but the photo is real.

Image result for Germany government increased fuel prices 

However, the people who can be glimpsed in this photograph appear more Asian than German, and native Germans themselves are unfamiliar with any protest in recent years (over fuel prices or anything else) that supposedly saw millions of them ditching their automobiles in the street.
That’s all because this photograph actually captures a massive multi-day traffic jam in China, most likely the infamous August 2010 China National Highway 110 traffic tie-up.


Think you had a hellish commute this morning? Just be thankful you’re not in China, where a traffic jam stretching more than 100 km (62 miles) has forced drivers to keep their feet planted on brake pedals for nine days.

The gridlock, which started August 14, involves thousands of trucks between the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the Chinese capital of Beijing, according to state media.

Fender-benders and broken-down vehicles are adding to the chaos, state media reported.

Some drivers played cards to pass the time, while others fumed about nearby vendors taking advantage of their predicament by gouging food prices.

Still, some opted to not take detours to avoid farther travel and toll costs.

Traffic congestion is a common problem in China. But construction on a section of the Beijing-Tibet Expressway has forced more traffic onto National Expressway 110, which runs roughly parallel.

Roads leading to Beijing are particularly notorious for turning into parking lots.

Commitment

This term (term 4) we are focusing on commitment.

The question is:

What does commitment mean to me:
Commitment involves dedicating yourself to something like a person or a cause. Commitment is also about thinking carefully. A commitment obligates you to do something. 

What does it look like:
Commitment is a promise and a agreement to do something. An example for commitment is also trying and not giving up, like when you are in a test and you don't know what it means you can always ask for help instead of just sitting there and doing nothing.

Sounds like:
Commitment to me sounds like when everyone is positive. When an adult tells you to do something and you don't want to do it, you just have your head up and do it. Also when you have nothing to say good back to someone just bit your tongue and don't say anything. 

Feels like:
Commitment to me feels like when you are around people who are not doing anything nice you expectantly when they are bad language.
