Maxbe we should start requiring to pay tax on aviation fuel for starters? First step on fuel sold in the EU, then for fuel used to reach the EU…

Sorry, overlooked the “opinion” part of the sidebar. Feel free to remove.

I don’t think it’s too polarising, though.

Not sure. I still remember the Great-NetNews-AOL-Hate (aka ‘me-too’) of 1995 :)

/s, I think

Exactly, see my first comment above

And also between the thing you are doing being illegal and you being illegal

Even if you would think that were a good thing - which I don’t - there is no business case justifying spending all this money on border controls, impacting travel, increasing congestion and pollution just to ’catch’ 19(!) “illegal” immigrants. Even the numbers don’t add up.

Also: Nobody is illegal!

TL;DR: “sorry, you are right, I over-simplified”and “don’t be a dick on the Autobahn”

Ok, you are technically correct, which is - as we all know - the best version of correct. 😎

I admit to gross over-simplification on my part. This is the internet after all.

My point was to not underestimate the weight of the advisory speed limit. Living over here at a stretch of Autobahn with no posted speed limit I have seen my fair share of reckless speeding and felt compelled to make a point as the image projected by many ‘influencers’ is that anything goes on the Autobahn.

Some more details for the three people still reading this:

Courts over here in good ol’ Germany are pretty clear that paragraph 1 of the German highway code lays out the guiding principle of traffic and has to be followed at all times:

[…]

1. Participation in road traffic requires constant caution and mutual consideration. (2) Anyone taking part in traffic must behave in such a way that no one else is harmed, endangered or hindered or inconvenienced more than is unavoidable under the circumstances. […] (Translated by myself using deepl.com)

To the advisory speed of 130 km/h:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advisory_speed_limit

[…]While travelling above the advisory speed limit is not illegal per se, it may be negligence per se and liability for any collisions that occur as a result of traveling above the limit can be placed partially or entirely on the person exceeding the advisory speed limit.[…]

If you go faster than 130 km/h you are always allotted a certain percentage of fault in Germany. You don’t have the right to speed if you are endangering others.

I mean AfD made it pretty clear they are against Tesla when trying to stop the Tesla plant in Germany.

Not sure how their brains work, maybe they don’t. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t think that would be allowed as per safety regulations.

Flight attendants are safety personnel who also serve food and drinks.

The jump seats facing the passengers are there for a reason.

Having said that if airlines would be allowed to fly without flight attendants they would.

Handed back my model 3 leasing car in September. As long as they are the right wing nutcase is involved I will not buy anything from them again.
