While stationed in Germany in 1965 I got pulled over by the German Polizei for "driving with my parking lights on". Well, it was a dark, stormy day and that's what we did in the states.
Evidently "parking lights" are for PARKING ONLY in Germany.
Cost me a 20DM fine...and then, you had to pay the cop right on the spot - no court or anything. If you had only American money, they would keep your car and make you go and get Deutsch Marks and come back to pay the fine.
Luckily, I was in Mainz and only a couple of blocks from the bank.
You bet your SA I never drove with PARKING LIGHTS on again over there.
