Germany
In Germany, a driver is required to carry a vehicle licence containing vehicle owner data, technical specifications and car modifications. Additionally, each car has a registration plate sticker to indicate compliance with vehicle safety and emission standards that are to be checked regularly. While the vehicle licence is permanent, the sticker has to be renewed after a 1 to 3 year period, depending on the type and age of the vehicle.

“How does Nature deify us with a few and cheap elements! Give me health and a day, and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“It is the emotions to which one objects in Germany most of all.”
