    In Germany the speed limit in Cities is 50km/h and in residential zones 30km/h, strong controlled with a lot of radar traps. If you exceed this they screw up your life, in case of hitting a pedestrian even possible with jail time. It cannot be confused by the lack of speed limit on some highway sections, that traffic regulations are very strict and controlled in Germany and any violation can be very expensive.

      I think that comment was meant as a joke because if a car hits a pedestrian, its obviously not the driver who gets injured…

      Anyway, we do have speed radars in Germany but I have not seen one in a 30-zone and inside the city they are rather rare I’d say…
