Odd sentence, ain't it, but also like half the reasoning why people keep buying ever bigger cars and trucks.

The other half is "some other schmuck thinking this will snuff me out", which, fair, but how do you not arrive at the conclusion the eternal arms race of weight and height with cars is like, super bad?

There's a theoretical mechanism in german law where if you do a traffic violation purposeuflly, it costs double in fines.

It is never applied. You can park, illegally, on a sidewalk here and any and all enforcement agencies will think that was a whoopsie.

Which, fine, but if you manage to park on the sidewalk without noticing I'm pretty sure you should have your drivers license taken away as you're not fit to operate a motor vehicle or even a bicycle.
