So, same punishment when crossing red lights, hmm?
Well, of course, you CAN have that opinion.... Whatever your motivation might be.
My opinion is a bit different. Cars can do more damage than pedestrian or cyclist crossing the road on red. Most times only endangering themselves. An this was my point above as well.
If you cannot or don't want to understand that and call people "idotic"... Well, I guess it only reflects what kind of a person you are.................
Really? Bikes just as bad as cars? You see no difference in a bike hitting someone and a 3ton vehicle? Wow. Did you look at data, how many people get injured or killed by cars - and then compare it to data on Bikes?
And of course, who did not hear about terrorist attacks with bikes driving into crowds?
I though the US is the home of washer/dryer combos? Never seen them in Europe.
3 is even worse
You don't need insurance FOR your car. You MUST have a "Haftpflichtversicherung" - but that only covers damage done by you and your car. If you only have that, you'll get exactly 0 Euro.
Most people here have partial coverage, so if glass breaks, you get into an accident with a wild animal or you car gets stolen - and you'll get some money back.
Full coverage would also include stupid mistakes you made. As long as they are not on purpose or done by speeding, drinking and driving and stuff like that.
So yeah, most people with newer cars would have full coverage. Expensive tho. So older cars usually only have partial or none coverage - only "Haftpflichtversicherung" is a must. Without you are not allowed to have a car in traffic.
Had my Fairphone 3 over 5 years now, and I dropped it a few hundred times ago - only equipped with the small "bumper" (a rubber ring around the edges). Only in the end I noticed worse reception - I guess some of the antenna contacts inside came lose. BUT you can totally disassemble the phone yourself and fix that - you only need a normal screwdriver. I upgraded to my Fairphone 5 a few days now - and I'm totally happy with it! Better camera, more storage and better fingerprint sensor.
Plus, they'll support your phone with updates for 8 years, I think.
Hihihi...
Naja, vielleicht zurecht? Denn ggf. wird sonst die "Unterhaltung" in der Zukunft noch weniger "leicht" - wenn jetzt alle nur mit den Schultern zucken und unpolitische Unterhaltung suchen (auch wenns es verständlich ist)
Stand auch gestern abend noch so drin
Bußgeld kann man lassen. Stattdessen Bügel an den großen Feuerwehr-Lkw und wegschieben. Schäden am Feuerwehrmaterial trägt der Halter, jede Minute Verzögerung wird in Rechnung gestellt. Fertig. Dann parkt da auch keiner mehr, wenn das ins Bewusstsein sickert.
Klingt erstmal krass, aber noch krasser ist es doch, wenn jemand in seinem Auto verbrennt, Kind im brennenden Haus erstickt usw. Nur weil egoistische Menschen nicht 15 Meter zu Fuß gehen mögen.
My first thought
Deine "Meinung", aber in dieser Situation ist dieser Ansatz NULL hilfreich. (Außer das mit sportlicher Betätigung. Das hilft nachweislich. Problem: Man muss es erstmal schaffen)
Es ist leicht, jemanden zu sagen "Du hast doch alles" - die Frage ist, wie glücklich man damit ist. Vielleicht würde OP ja ohne zu zögern mit dir tauschen, wenn er nur könnte. Würdest du tauschen wollen ist die Frage - von außen kann man leicht große Worte kloppen. Wenn es einem selber schlecht geht und man keinen Weg raus findet, sieht das ggf. sehr anders aus!
