Germans tend to be very environmentally aware when it comes to a carbon footprint. By offering more public transportation, they also drive less often, leading to less pollution. You also have to be 18 here to drive, and getting a license costs anywhere from $2,000-3,000. When Germans do drive, they are also able to access the "Autobahn," a highway that infamously has no speed limit. While it is true that the Autobahns offer an outlet for speed-lovers, they often also have sections that are more similar to our highways--ie. with a limit. These sections can also change very quickly and without warning, making tickets a common occurence for those who may not be paying attention.
