    Meanwhile in Germany, you can’t clean your car in your own driveway because it could pollute the soil, with a fine up to €50k

        I’m going to show off my freedom and wash my car daily in the driveway.

        That’s how this works right?

        it’s mainly to avoid polluting the groundwater, environmental laws are strict and people tend to stick to the rules (and will call the police on you if you don’t)

                    There’s no amount of fines that would put brains in that head.
