They tax you more for having an older vehicle? :/Comment

Off Topic, but I was wondering - most of you Europeans use a dot instead of a comma in a number (ex: we write 500,000 - you write 500.000). What do you use in case of a decimal then?"The Director also sets the record straight on what would happen if oxygen masks were to drop from the ceiling: The passengers freak out with abandon, instead of continuing to chat amiably, as though lunch were being served, like they do on those in-flight safety videos."

I know at least in France (and in Quebec), they use comma instead of decimals, and the dollar sign at the end.Originally posted by indian airlines
So $19.95 is 19,95$ in Quebec (Euro in France of course)
I think they use blank spaces to separate each three-number block in French.
Apparently some places use decimals to separate 3-number blocks, and even some with apostrophes! It does get a bit confusing, lol.Comment

AFAIK, they usually just write 550 287,15 in French, but I think they use the period in some European countries.Originally posted by indian airlinesComment

Until July 2005 private persons were allowed to have their vehicles registered as a commercial van, provided it had no rear seats and the side windows at the rear blanked off, effectively making it a van. The road tax for a van was considerably lower as for a normal car. Our government decided that from July on this road tax arrangement could no longer be used by private persons.

That is correct for all continental European countries. The use of the dot is optional.Originally posted by indian airlines
In fact, the use of commas to separate blocks of 3 numbers and a dot to separate the decimals is an Anglo-Saxon rule, thus only used in countries with Anglo-Saxon traditions or influence.
