It's interesting that you would say that. I just reserved a rental car in
Germany and the minimum liability insurance is 50 Million Euros. Are jury
awards really that high in Europe? You'd have to win a case against a huge
corporation to get anything near that in the US, and then they'd appeal it
down to almost nothing.

The wench in the video isn't typical of anything at all - just a spoiled
brat who wanted a free lunch. If she had pointed that camera in my face
thinking I should agree with her, it would have ended up in the middle of
the street.
