In the Netherlands you learn the traffic rules (at school) when you're 10/11 years old. There is a little exam even. It's normal children start cycling unattended from that point. However, children have been cycling attended since... when they are big enough to operate a bike that goes fast enough to do so (so say, from 5 years old.) Ergo they probably already know, in practice, how to operate safely in traffic.

When my parents caught me cycling home unattended during the longer school lunch breaks, and I confessed I've been doing that for most of the school year, they were like: "oh. Guess you know how to do that safely then. Carry on." I think I was 9 at that point. (It was a very safe route, which is common for Dutch home-primary school situations.)

Isn't it the dark side of the moon, since spacecraft passing behind the moon go 'dark'; out of radio contact since the moon blocks radio signals?

On the other hand: it's the side of the moon that never receives earthshine. So it's dark in that sense.

Which is a great reason to get a dumb little cubesat comms relay into lunar orbit...

I hadn't thought about that sense of the phrase. That makes total sense.

The EU enforces a less strict interpretation of NN. The Netherlands stricter law was therefore overruled with a softer version.

This came to light when the ACM (The Dutch FCC if you will) fined T-Mobile for applying a zero rating on music streaming. T-Mobile argues in court they are allowed to do so by EU rule. The Judge agreed.

As far as I know country law can be more strict than EU law, is that not so? In that case, the stricter law could not have been overruled with EU laws.
