JurekB-
This is an interesting one - the defence of “automatism” is getting harder to apply, thankfully, and claimants should in cases like that be able to get medical records produced in evidence to show that the medical condition was known about, and even that the defendant has deliberately failed to disclose it to the DVLA.

Should work with translate.Yes, definitely anticipated.
I don't know, he had to drive his Porsche because there are no other ways to go to a restaurant in Berlin?
He had a major fit in Mai, a tumor was removed in August.
As I understand it he could have been banned from driving for a year because of the epilepsy, but wasn't warned enough/banned and decided to drive his Macan turbo anyway.
He killed a young male couple in their late twenties, a 4 year old kid and the kids 64 year old grandmother.
Going over 100 kmph in a city street.
2 years probation, 2 years driving ban, 15000€ paid to a (questionable) pedestrian charity.
Yes, it's that fucked up here in Germany.

Reminds me of what happened in Berlin in 2019.
Porsche SUV driver allegedly had an epileptic fit and killed 4 people on the sidewalk.
I think he got a suspended sentence of 2 years.
