My 7-year-old bought a booster seat on Taobao and brought it over. It seems that anyone below 145 cm needs a car seat.

Bring a booster cushion (costing only dozens of yuan in China). My grandson used one at the age of 5 and we traveled to 9 countries in America and Europe, all complying with safety regulations. Most European countries require that children under the age of 14 or those shorter than 1.5 meters use a child seat or a booster cushion. Note that the regulation uses the word "or". Children taller than 1.5 meters can use seat belts directly, regardless of their age.

In Germany, there is a fine of 30 euros for illegal parking, which was paid by transferring the money to a local Chinese person. After returning the car, a notification was received that the full deposit of 1000 euros would be refunded within an hour. Recently, an email was received, which seems to be a charge of 24 euros from the car rental company. Is this the so-called penalty management service fee? How can this be transferred in China, and what are the consequences if it is not paid? Does anyone know ? Germany Q&A

Violations generally do not receive information so quickly, unless they are fines issued on the spot. The pre-authorized deduction should be part of the fees charged by the car rental company other than the car rental. Please carefully check the bill to see if there are any fees that you did not notice. The car rental company will not help you handle violations, so they will not pre-authorize fees to handle them ?

Some people are willing to save tens of yuan a day, carefully checking scratches when picking up and returning the car, and paying first and then claiming compensation when an accident occurs. Some people are willing to spend money to save trouble, leaving the keys and walking away after returning the car. It's just a matter of personal habit ? Germany Q&A
