These are the weirdest fines in road traffic!

Fines for Over speeding or for driving over red lights are most likely familiar to everyone. But there are some violations that you certainly haven't heard of, but which can cost you a lot of money. Whether it's hands-free cycling or reversing, the following list shows the unbelievable violations, how they are justified, and what the fine will be if you commit one of these violations.

With the bike on the highway?

• Cycling on the highway
  It is true that only very few people will come up with the idea of ​​taking a bike onto the motorway, but this violation is actually regulated. Whoever comes up with the idea, admittedly quite stupid, pays 10 Euros Fine. Provided he survives!
• Walk on the wrong side of the street
  If you as a pedestrian, contrary to what is prescribed, walk on the right side in the direction of travel instead of on the left side against the direction of travel, you are violating the StVO and will be 5 Euros Fine due.
• Turns in the tunnel
  Turning around in a tunnel violates the StVO and also endangers other road users. This violation is with 60 Euros punished. If the height control is triggered, such as the one in Hamburg's Elbe Tunnel, there is a fine of 240 Euros.
• Hands-free cycling
  You see it surprisingly often: people cycling hands-free. Very few people know that this is actually prohibited by the StVO. If you ride a bicycle hands-free, you risk paying a fine of 5 Euros.
  
• Running dogs by car
  What seems absolutely strange to most, is quite normal in Ibiza, for example: dog owners drive their cars, the dog runs alongside on a leash. Also threaten here 5 Euros Fine in the event of a violation.
• Reversing without consideration
  Anyone who drives backwards and thereby endangers others will be with them 1 point in Flensburg and a fine of 80 Euros fined. Reversing in the direction of travel is strictly prohibited.
• Too much distance when parking
  In larger cities in particular, there is a general “parking space shortage”, so every meter of extra space is precious. Road users who keep too much distance from other parked cars and thereby unnecessarily occupy a lot of parking space can be fined 10 Euros to get punished.
• Unauthorized crossing of barriers
  Barriers are not set up for no reason: they are often in places that can be dangerous and therefore they should not be crossed or bypassed in any other way. A violation of this rule will result in 5 Euros Fine punished.
• Crossing the street at an angle
  The road must be crossed as quickly as possible, i.e. at a right angle. Anyone who walks / drives diagonally across the street instead of at a right angle pays 5 Euros Fine.
• Music in the car too loud
  Anyone who has turned up the music too loud in the car can no longer hear what is happening around the vehicle and thus endangers themselves and other road users. This violation is with 10 Euros Fine punished.

It is even worse abroad
