Germany
Verboten!
Useless anecdote: My first girlfriend was Russian and immigrated to Germany with her family when she was 7.
"Verboten" was the first word she learnt to read in German, cause it's written on signs everywhere.
Fun fact: Fun is definitely verboten in Germany
Was her second word "ACHTUNG!"?
I love the word achtung! It's printed on many German parts at work...
I first read it in the Sniper Elite games.
Was the cop teasing you or did you actually get a fine for this?
He let me off with a warning. He saw we were a bunch of 18-year-olds in a shitty old hatchback, running fog lights cause we thought it looked cool, and probably decided to have a bit of fun.
