That is the same in German. However, one *might* argue that "normally"
stems from "norm", and so should be used only in this strict sense. I
do not, and have not done.

So one may say: "No car is normally either driven on a road or on a
beach". Besides that a car might be driven on grassland (the point I
had already made explicit), it may be driven on a road as well as on a
beach (not simultaneously, though, but the same programming language may
well be used simultaneously on the server as well as on the client).
