#22that's not complete:
Truck drivers and bus drivers have to have 5 modules in their driving license:
eco training
social guidelines (eg break times, rest times, max driving hours etc)
active and passive driving technics
driver's image
load securing
these modules have to be refreshed every 5 years, each module's lesson costs ca. 110,-€

Every 5 years, they need also a certificate from the common doctor (70,-€)
from the ophthalmologist (70,-€)
and bus drivers also a reaction test (90,-€)
Bus drivers and cab drivers need a confirmation from the police, that they are and were not criminals and never been to jail.

The driver card (where evey movement and action in the vehicle is monitored) has to be prolonged also every 5 vears (40,-€)

It wouldn't be Germany, if there weren't fun facts:

If you run a funeral company and you want to transport more than 8 dead bodies in the hearse, you need the same transporting license for persons like a cab driver dash

another German fun fact:
Every vehicle has to go to the technical inspection (TÜV)
Cars every 2 years (new cars staring from the 3rd "birthday"

Heavier vehicles more often, e.g. a 5,5 t heavy ambulance car has to be checked every year.

That complete set up ambulance car with a small pharmacy on board won't pass the technical checkup without an first aid kit on board.

Odell, For anyone that thinks these inspections are a bit over the top, ahve a look at the "Just rolled in" videos on youtube. They are in the complete opposite end of the scale, and really makes me appreciate the car safety inspections in Europe!

Odell,

In Germany we say 'I don't know if this goes over the TÜV' 35

#25 and they earn only half as much as normal astronauts, so they cost less. The only issue is they can't drive or change a lightbulb, so they would have to automate the spaceship completely.

#17 so they 'searched' for 18 months, but didn't even contact the local shelters?

#34 yeah, look: I is totally possible that there is some kind of voting system and also that some votes count more than others. There is no way that they count to an certain number to do so. This would be dependent on pack size and such. 'guys, in this pack of 10 everyone but the top dog sneezed. The international law for African wild dogs requires more sneezes. We aren't allowed to hunt and will starve to death. But it's the law, you know?'

#25 Averages mean nothing in space, only exact physics and math, it would be more useful if they only allowed tiny people under 5ft no greater than 100lbs, with naturally low muscle mass. Who cares about gender anyway?

#31 Well, never say who they are because paying someone else's taxes is technically a gift and is supposed to be taxed in itself, making his actions a crime if they don't pay taxes themselves. Taxes are bullsh#t.

#47 I think physics of bullets have proven two ricochet is nearly impossible, and to pass though a trailer and a chair after bouncing off a wall of unknown variety is near impossible (it does depend on how much gunpowder used but still not likely). He lied
