Cars drive pass an electronic truck toll station on a highway between Salzburg and Munich near Irschenberg, southern Germany, on Wednesday, Nov. 27, 2013. On Wednesday night Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives and Germany's main center-left party reached a deal to form a new government, more than two months after the country's elections. The two sides reached a compromise on the CSU's demands to levy a highway toll on foreign-owned cars using the Autobahns across the country. They agreed that it will be similar to the highway toll already charged in Austria and in Switzerland and it will be introduced by passing a legislation next year. (AP Photo/Matthias Schrader)
