A question that is asked anew almost every day. What regulations apply in the car during the Corona pandemic? The corona pandemic has led to many new rules and behaviors in private and professional life. And also in relation to that Drive may come soon new rules towards the motorists. The Federal Ministry of Transport is currently having a detailed examination of the extent to which this is possible general carrying from two mouth and nose covers per vehicle also to the pandemic becomes an obligation. So possibly carrying Protective masks become mandatory in the vehicle even after the end of the pandemic. Similar to First aid kit and the safety vest.

There is a risk of a fine if the mask is missing!

The head of department, Andreas Scheuer (CSU), wants according to the request Car picture such an obligation in the next amendment to the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO) accordingly anchored in law. The point of reference for this should be the regulations, once for the existence of the known Safety vests were hit. On Fines (€) should be threatened when the masks not are present in the vehicle. If safety vests are not available, the fine is currently included 15 Euros.

Contact restrictions for inmates

The question of how many can be taken in a vehicle opens up based on the rules that have been made. The Federal Government and the Prime Ministers have the corresponding contact restriction rules to contain the corona pandemic up to March 7, 2021 extended. After that are private gatherings only in the circle of relatives of your own household and Allow another person who does not live in the household. Since there are no further regulations for the maximum number of passengers in the car, it can be assumed that these also applies to car journeys. This regulation makes the continuation more traditional Carpooling ultimately impossible if more than one person is traveling.

Mask also compulsory in the car

The city-state of Berlin has on 2. February 2021 now also one Protective masks must be worn in the car with a passenger introduced. The driver is of the obligation to carry except.

Rather, the obligations to wear medical masks or the FFP2 masks are limited to the Öffentlichen Public transport by bus and train. Furthermore, there is always one Mask wear requirement in practical Driving school lessons and in the driving tests.

The driver of a vehicle is exempt from the obligation to wear a mask.

When wearing masks, the driver can often not be able to do so as required identified if a Traffic violation is committed. A driver must always be recognizable, otherwise this is a violation of the existing rules. Any violation will result in a Fines (€) in the amount of 60 Euros punished. Nicht It is also recommended to wear the corona protective mask on the Inside mirror of the vehicle. If the mask hangs on the inside mirror, it restricts the driver's view and is always an occasion for distraction.

Car trips in times of Corona

The subject is still critical Car trips and Road trips in connection with the corona pandemic, as there have been significant restrictions on freedom of movement. Very different rules must be observed here. Here was already on 25 November 2020 decided that if possible not more should be traveled. This applies generally to all trips, be they now more professional or private Nature. It was formulated that all not absolutely necessary Travel abroad should be avoided. Here the legislature also had that in particular tourist travel in ski areas in view.

At the same time was still another regulation hit the one Restriction on driving a car is linked to the incidence value of the place of residence. Anyone who has an incidence value of about 200 Infected per 100.000 population over a period of seven days, and this number has been since five days consistently exists, must not extend further than 15 km remove around his place of residence. This also applies to Car trips. This means that tourist trips are general not possible. Are possible and allowed, then only trips out good reason and trips to work.
