Broadcast slots, duration and locations
The first programs were broadcast monthly in the second program of ARD ( ARD 2 ) in the evenings and lasted 45 minutes. In 1962, however, the Saturday afternoon in the first ARD program established itself as the broadcasting slot ; the broadcasting time was often, but not always, shortened to 30 minutes.
Due to the ARD-Ratgeber series introduced in 1971 , the newly created ARD-Ratgeber: Auto und Verkehr , which is also produced by the SWF , replaced the ARD rest house in 1974 . After a four-year break, the Rasthaus was now on Südwestfernsehen in 1978 , extended to 50 minutes and initially broadcast in the evening program. Later they returned to a broadcast in the late afternoon and since 2005 again with a duration of 30 minutes. The program was recorded from 2001 to 2011 in the Technik-Museum Speyer and broadcast in seasons of 12 episodes alternating with the program Eisenbahnromantik , on Sundays at 4 p.m. on SWR television. Thorsten Link's ready-to-go moderations have been recorded at various locations in Baden-Württemberg since 2011, and since September 1, 2012, SWR TV has been broadcasting ready to go on Saturdays at 4.45 p.m. The broadcast was discontinued without replacement on November 30, 2013.
Content
ready to go and his previous programs were involved on the one hand in matters of traffic education for viewers (e.g. the correct behavior at zebra crossings or construction sites), on the other hand with critical car tests. Vehicles were subjected to a tough driving test on the Opel test site in Dudenhofen (sudden turning at 80 km / h, fast circular travel) and the chassis comfort was also tested on a “torture track”. The actual maximum speed reached as well as the speedometer deviation were determined; Both are rarely common in car tests, even in the print media sector.
