What are some of the weird/hilarious/stupid things that are legal in Germany but illegal in other countries (and vice versa)? (lemmy.world)

My buddy and I were discussing the allowed blood alcohol content for driving (purely hypothetically) and how it varies across countries and then we stumbled upon the question in the title. Would be curious to hear if you guys know any good examples.

If this law existed, it probably was not § 18 BGB. According to this § 18 was about the time a person is considered to be dead. There are laws about the lacking reliability of people but these are as far as I know usually part of administrative law codes like e.g. § 35 GewO and not the BGB.
