Fun fact: in Germany, egregious parking violations can and will lead to your license being not just taken, but you gotta take a psychological evaluation to make sure you're of sound mind [1]. Can't get your way out of that.

I’d rather tolerate some level of rude / obnoxious behaviour than be concerned with government reeducation programs.

The authorities aren't going to send you off to reeducation, they will just determine (accurately) that you are a me-first guy who must not be allowed on the public roads and won't return your license. A win for the general public because road traffic is a coordinated effort.

I don’t mind being admonished by a magistrate for my mad behaviour, but being required to attend what boils down to nonsense treatment theatre is a bit much.

Anyone who’s enough of a sociopath to intentionally park like a jerk knows the right things to say to appear repentant.

I wonder what Germans think of this waste of time / money / effort.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. Privileges require responsibility.
