Do we really need to care what Germany does?

Yeah, FreedomFriend, we do (or should).

The Germans have far better engineered roads, cars, and conditions.

We fail to enforce insurance laws ("gee, I can't afford insurance, but I need and "deserve" a car"). OUr DWI rates are hugely more than the Europeans'.

Stop by any metro court and watch the "no insurance, noe registration, speeding" cases...in the majority of cases, judges simpy ask (yeah, "ask") the defendent to return within a 30 day period and show insurance and registration...no problem? My mother was KIA by a driver in an uninsured and unregistered vehicle. I got a "sorry" from the courts and a "no way" from attorneys I contacted to see if we had a case (and the driver was 84 years old and had just renewed his license for an eight year period?)

Yeah...maybe we can learn a bit from these Germans.
