kinda?!
that should be treated as atempted murder (period)

Sorry,
from this angle (to me) it looked more like pedestrian zone

than children on the road

hence my assumption

But I don’t see any space for cars on this road

Center is pedestrian only zone and flanks are bike lanes

I’d say EU rules and cash grab opportunity is behind it here (in yearly registration extension price there are eco taxes included, but coutry doesn’t guarantee that it will go thowards the eco projects. All that money ends up in general pot)

That make sense, I’m just used to ours way that I didn’t question other possibilites.

E.g. here brand new cars get their first registration (for a duration of 1 year) and after few hundred kilometers they have they 0th car service at authorised service station. Then on yearly basis cars need to go for car service (practice is: one year small, then next year large servicing) then vehicle inspection at inspection station where, if car passes minimal safety standards, you extend registration for another year.

Sorry for my european ignorance,
but isn’t eco test mandatory part of yearly vehicle inspection?
