Austria to ‘Super-Speeders’: We’re Taking Your Car

Austrian here: some cars were already taken away, but mostly just temporarily. Also the car won't be gone at the first offence, only if you are caught multiple times.

So losing your car won't happen "by accident". To lose your car, you have to drive much too fast (something like this is done deliberately) multiple times (then your are an idiot who shouldn't drive).

I dont pity anyone who lost his/her car. They are idiots, which shouldn't share a road with others.

What's the best ice breaker exercise for the class that a professor used on your first day of class?

In highschool we had a maths teacher who always did the birthday paradox as a kind of opener in the first lesson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

He bet 10€, that there are 2 students with the same birthday in the classroom of (abt) 30 students. The class was allowed to work out, if they want to accept the bet, or not (exchanging birthdates was not allowed ofc).

Usually the students think, that it's nearly impossible, and accept the bet. Little did we know, that the probability of success was around 70% for the teacher.
