Today a German motorcyclist was senteced to a fine of 1.800 Euros and lost his driver licence for three month after tailgating a policecar, running with activated horns and flashing signal lights at a speed of 200 km/h on the Autobahn. The cyclist, a cook, tailgated the policecar while flashing his lights and coming up very close to the bumpers, so the officers couldn't see the cycle's lights in their rear mirrors... Read the full story on the web page of the Hessischer Rundfunk. The moral of the story : Never tailgate on the Autobahn!  |

| When I came to the US I was confuse with the decimal system using the period instead of comma. We use period to indicate thousands 1.000 is one thousand and 1,000 is one.
