Crossing a red light is a pretty strong traffic violation in Germany. If the light was red for longer then 1 second apparently 200€, a 1 month driving suspension, and 2 out of 8 points to lose your license.

And because of § 54 section 1 StGB they'd be flattened into a single life sentence, which in practice translates to "at least 15 years". The German equivalent of "life with no chance of parole" would be "Sicherheitsverwahrung" (preventive detention, consecutive to the life sentence) which is an extremely dodgy instrument that is probably in violation of the constitution and the international human rights charter if you look too closely but still used when punishing people who probably should instead be treated for difficult mental health problems. But I admit that makes for a less funny joke.
