Part of this is how things work in Germany though. I was asking a German friend what would happen if you drove with a suspended license in Germany, he said "But why would you drive with a suspended license?”. I said ”maybe there's an emergency, maybe you have to get to the hospital”. He replied "but you have a suspended license so you can't drive"... This went on for some time. He really couldn't wrap his head around the fact that someone with a suspended license may in fact still drive a car. I suspect that there are so few cases where folks break rules like Tesla did that the administration just doesn't really know what to do about it.

- randominsomnia 4y agoGermans wouldn't drive with an expired license because that'd be a felony over here.
- code_duck 4y agoPlenty of people in the US drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol despite that they could face felony charges.
- rbanffy 4y agoNot sure about Germany, but most legal systems have "lesser evil" provisions, so, if you drive a car with an expired license in order to save a life, that should be considered.
- DemocracyFTW2 4y agoThat could quickly backfire should it turn out you decided to drive someone to the hospital yourself in spite of having been found not to be trusted with steering a vehicle, and not having called professional help and first-aid on-the-spot, i.e. called the ambulance as you should have done. Assault / injury and failure to render assistance are the terms here.
