What are some of the weird/hilarious/stupid things that are legal in Germany but illegal in other countries (and vice versa)? (lemmy.world)

My buddy and I were discussing the allowed blood alcohol content for driving (purely hypothetically) and how it varies across countries and then we stumbled upon the question in the title. Would be curious to hear if you guys know any good examples.

There's literally no general speed limit on the Autobahn. My car has winter tires right now and I'm legally required to have a small sticker on the dash that reminds me not to exceed their rated maximum speed of 230 km/h.

Yeah, it's either that or you buy winter tires that are rated beyond you car's top speed.

I should have thought about that one, of course
