I honestly don’t know why this isn’t how it works in more places cos you are warning other drivers of a potential hazard and making it so that even if your car does get hit by someone not paying attention you are not in it. A car can be replaced you cannot. Your life is worth more than a monetary value or thing.
In the video it says "POV: You're driving on the Autobahn in Germany" Firstly: this is not the Autobahn, but just a main street in a bigger city (in this case Berlin). Secondly: if you were on the Autobahn, there'd be gas stations every 50km along the way, so you'd definitely get to refuel on time before you're running out of gas. But remember that the gas at those gas stations is much more expensive than at those in the cities. Thirdly: yes, it's indeed illegal to run out of gas on the Autobahn and you can be fined for that.
You will only be punished if that happens on the Autobahn, because it is illegal to stop or park there anyways. If it's under 3 minutes it is considered a stop and costs you 35€, if you stay for over 3 minutes, which you probably will when you ran out of gas, it is considered parking and will cost 70€.

What the heck, it isn’t illegal to run out of petrol on the road in the USA? In Brazil this is also illegal
So in Germany you don't have very many rights?
Also illegal to run out of fuel in the UK as well!!! £100 and 3 penalty points as well!!!
"That's illegal in Germany" That's too funny. Like people do it on purpose.
German? Isn't this more of an European law?

Man, you know how difficult it is to run out of gas in Germany. I think that only happened twice during World War II.
Everything is illegal in Germany lmao
I wonder if it’s illegal also to run out of electricity in your coal-electricity powered EV. 🤡
boah den hätt ich bei 180 aussteigen lassen
Existing in Germany… "Wait that's illegal!"
Germans man…always with their silly little rules.
What isn't illegal in Germany
Das a notten booby!
WHAT IS LEGAL IN GERMANY!?
We can camp now ayyyy❤
Tired of your car running out of gas? Just say no! In Germany your car is legally obligated to not run out of gas when you tell it.
The third reich lives
I can see how they became Notsees. They love following rules by daddy government
From a michigander, this is actually standard as well.
Meanwhile in North America: stay in your vehicle until help arrives
Meanwhile here: exiting on the left is fine because of the move over law, but most people don't follow it, so you might still be killed.
Only in Germany 💀💀💀💀💀
Reason 600 why i love this channel
In America instead of those dumb European safety items each car comes with 3 pounds of ribeye steak and a loaded shotgun.
I'm American. My dad was an auto mechanic. I make sure I have enough gas in my tank before I go.
I usually fill my gas tank when it's half full.
It's very bad to drive with low fuel in your gas tank. It's better for the car to have more fuel in the tank my dad said.
It's nice to see the laws in other countries.

One meter is about as much as the diagonale of a 40 inch TV.

Never knew how people run out of gas that’s absurd
"I ran out of gas"
"That's illegal in Germany"
Yes, especially running out during a shower
Leave it to germans to make it illegal to NOT have gas…
Running out of gas is illegal in Europe?
