My buddy and I were discussing the allowed blood alcohol content for driving (purely hypothetically) and how it varies across countries and then we stumbled upon the question in the title. Would be curious to hear if you guys know any good examples.

It is a criminal offense to run out of fuel on the Autobahn

It's not criminal, but you would get points on your licence.

only if you don't pull over and obstruct the flow of traffic

Wrong, even if you pull over it is an offense.

Its a misdemeanor, not a criminal offense
