Up until the 90ies, even "private" landline telephones in homes in Germany were not private but owned by the postal services and you had to rent them for a monthly fee. It was forbidden to connect "unlicensed devices" to the telephone network. Which made almost every early internet adopter comitting a serious crime when using a modem and also the many adopters of the new cordless phone models coming to market. Why this offtopic random fact? Well, the german law proposed a higher maximum sentence for this particular violation than for "causing a nuclear explosion" (which actually is still verboten, as far as I know :)

Regarding the point about car width - your generalisation is incorrect. Many cars are indeed wider than 200cms from mirror to mirror but a very large percentage are perfectly fine. An Audi A6 for example, which is considered to be a large car, measures between 188.6cm to 190.2 cm wide mirror to mirror. Hence, anything smaller would be perfectly fine. On the other hand, something like a Porsche Taycan (214.4cm) would indeed be too wide. By the way, the Skida Octavia Combi you pointed out is only just a tad too wide at 200.3cm wide. Love your videos! Keep it up!

With mirrors you usually need to add 10-15cm to the official width of a car, which is just the body. Most modern cars are between 190-205cm in width, meaning that with mirrors almost all modern cars are over 2 meters wide. Usually where it says 2m you can easily fit through at 2.05m, so quiet a few cars have no problems, but yes, most modern cars are over 2m wide, and are thus not legally allowed to go through this area (or the left lane in narrow roadworks).

I bet you will be surprised to hear this but in Turkey, there is no fine for drinking in public. What's more, in Eskişehir, one of the most European city in Turkey, there is a city river park, everyone drinks very much. Before I was 18, me and my friends could even drink (by illegally buying from a local market) in that park. Pubs, they always controlled our identities, so there isn't that chance. I mean if you come to Turkey one day, there is no fine for drinking in public. However, be carefull where you are, since if you are in a bigoted vicinity, they will not pay respect.

It is breaks in this case, and “its” is possessive. “It’s” is a contraction of “it is” or “it has” and is appropriate in this case. Eg: It’s illegal in Prague to break its laws. Possessive “its”. A tourist in Prague should not “break” their laws. A tourist in “can break/is breaking” these laws. A tourist in Prague “breaks” the law if he _____. I love Prague, it is beautiful. It’s nice to see the streets when they are empty 😂.
