Seen it a few weeks ago. Almost swallowed my tongue laughing when they said "but when the German driver drives, he does only that and doesn't let himself distracted; that's why those high speeds are so safe." (or some line to that effect.)
Germans love their cellphones, CD-players, radios, beer, novels, blowjobs just as much as the next guy, take it from me. It's even more fun at 160 mph :) |

Big tickets for tailgating and fines are dependant on the personal wealth of the driver. One very wealthy driver was fined 20k for tailgating [:O]
It is illegal to run out of gas on the Autobahn. So are obscene hand gestures, with fines around $500 [img]http://www.full-auto.com/ubb/graemlins/fu.gif[/img] |

Yep, fines are coupled to your income. You'll pay, say 20 [i]Tagessaetze[/i], i.e. the equivalent of the money you would make in 20 days; or you can choose not to pay, and spend those 20 days in jail instead.

It sounds good to think people would obey the law if it costed them more for breaking it, but I still don't see it affecting too many people over here. You'd think $80 for doing 5mph over on the highway would discourage people? Nope. Maybe if we picked up the 20 days wage fine, people would think twice.
