I hope so too that 99% is way too high.

And I understand your wish for tougher enforcement. Studies do show that tougher punishments do not lead to less crime (even worse, the severity of crime increases since you get the max punishment anyway), so that is something to take into account. But I understand that people want an end to the low accountability of one’s actions.

“who only care about themselves.”

To be fair, this is true of 99% (or whatever high percentage) of people.

I’m not sure if you’re pulling my leg, but sure, I get that. But what is a single/double/triple stripe month?

Now I am really curious…

What do the number of black stripes under the months designate?

Yeah, I think you are confusing the German with the Dutch. (Which happens a lot…)

Dutch generally speak several languages. Germans in general speak only German and rudimentary English (if you’re lucky).

(A common Dutch gripe with visiting German tourists is that Germans just assume the Dutch speak German (which they mostly do, so okay, they’ve got a point, but still) and just start speaking German without asking first)
