The tightening of sanctions would have to contend with many of the people on complete lack of understanding , here quoted the chief Executive of the DStGB, Gerd Landsberg. He was questioning whether it was really> <strong relatively , if someone who has been driving for many years, “points”, must suddenly expect on the first offense with a driving ban.
The new catalog of fines* States, inter alia, that a exceeding the speed limit in urban areas at 21 km/h, and extra urban at 26 km/h over the speed limit with a one-month loss of license must be sanctioned.
“More road safety and Less injuries and deaths on the roads, we will reach but not through more and more corridors with new and more stringent regulations, but by a transport climate, the mutual respect and constant care is marked,” says Landsberg.
