Well, Germany is not a leader in road safety.
The Nordics and UK are safest drivers and have stricter rules and severe fines. Finland has fines based on your income so they are equally painful to rich and poor people.
I wonder if such fines would ever be possible in Taiwan as Taiwan politics is driven by plutocracy.

Well now Austria has decided to accept Taiwan IDPs again. MOFA informed the MOTC to reciprocate the measure and accept Austrian IDPs.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that following talks with the Austrian government, with its office in Taipei, and with the help of the Taiwan mission in Vienna, Austria issued an executive order this month to allow the use of the international driving permit.
Where to get an IDP in Taiwan?
The same government office that you go to for the original license (and insurance, taxes, inspections, etc.). It’s pretty quick and lasts for years
Like NT$200 and can take photos in machine.
