IDK in Germany it's forbidden per § 30 StVO to drive around senselessly inside settlements. You are still allowed to drive around, even if the reasons are stupid. But if they are too stupid, police can fine you. There is a youtuber in Berlin who specializes in driving around for hours and he's been stopped by police already. The original video has been made private [0], but a raw version of it still exists [1].

- riskable 5y agoIs the reason for the law to reduce the number of cars on the road or is it more to reduce emissions? I'm curious if someone driving an electric would get ticketed as well.
- hobofan 5y agoIt's mainly to reduce emissions and to protect the local environment. The paragraph also more generally states that you have to "prevent unnecessary noise pollution and emissions", which as we learn in driving school also means shutting off your motor when sitting at a red light.
- lostandbored 5y agoSo at redlights you need to turn off your car, then turn it back on when it changes to green EDIT: Specify the part of the post that bewildered me.
