I don’t live in or drive in Germany. Anyone who does, should be able to afford it. I’m sure driving is a privilege there just as it is here.

Same general concept as here. But while the speed is less restricted, getting a license is harder (mandatory professional training) and the rules are much stricter. You can do 100 on an unrestricted Autobahn, but don't pass on the right a guy who's just sitting in the left lane. You can get a ticket for passing on the right, while he can get a ticket for not being in the right lane (thus eliminating the need for you to pass on the right).

And don't give the guy who cut you off the finger. He can get a ticket for doing it, but you can also get a ticket for that gesture.

Oh, and those idiots here who drive around all day with their fog lights on and neons blazing to look cool? Ticket for both, and you will be ordered to remove the neons.
