Points, fines, driving ban: the speed limit!

Recently updated on October 26, 2021 at 09:46 am

Many people are not aware that multiple fines not only earn points in Flensburg, but can also lead to a driving ban. Until a few years ago, these fines were considered a trivial offense if the speed was exceeded, but that has changed a lot. Unfortunately, more and more accidents happen due to high speeds, even within built-up areas. Therefore, everyone should know exactly what offenses they can expect to be banned from driving.

When is the speed camera invalid? The info!

Unfortunately, especially for young people, it is almost normal to drive faster than allowed. However, the consequences here can be dire because the younger drivers are often unable to properly assess certain risks. Pedestrians, children and cyclists are at risk in many areas of cities, which can then lead to severe penalties. In the same way, driving too fast is punished more severely in schools, since a child can run into the street at any time. Of course, the penalties are staggered, because driving a little too fast is the least punishable.

The fines start at 30 euros, whereby you can drive up to 10 km / h faster. If you were 11 or 15 kilometers per hour too fast, you can expect almost double that, namely 50 euros. Those who were up to 20 km / h too fast have to dig deeper into their pockets. A fine of 70 euros is due here.

Some severe punishments in the village!

Then it gets really expensive and there are driving bans and points in Flensburg. If you were more than 21 km / h too fast, you will be fined 80 euros and may have to walk for a month. However, discussions on the 2020 catalog of fines are still ongoing. At 21 km / h too much is also possible no Driving ban becomes due. But if you were traveling too much at 26 to 30 km / h, you can expect a driving ban of one month and a fine of 80 euros.

In addition, there is a point in Flensburg for each offense, whereby the penalties are always based on the amount of speeding. But that doesn't deter some people, they often drive more than 70 km / h too fast. But this can be very expensive, because 680 euros are due here. In addition, there are 2 points in Flensburg and a driving ban of 3 months is imposed. And who then out of anger showing the finger, he's got a lot of trouble!

Sometimes severe punishments outside the village!

Of course, this can happen quickly, which the legislature has also taken into account. Anyone who does not receive a fine of more than 60 euros has been lucky. The same rules apply here as apply to all other drivers. But then other rules apply, which not only include higher penalties. In the case of negligent action, it can happen that the probationary period is extended by two years. If someone drove more than 20 kilometers per hour too fast, it is a so-called A violation. In such cases, in addition to the fine and the points, you must also attend an advanced seminar. But many do not know the exact content of the A-violations and B-violations, which can then lead to uncertainty.

Tip: "Speed ​​camera apps: what is an offense, what is allowed?"

The legislature differentiates the following violations, such as that Passing a red light or disregarding the right of way rule. These are so-called A violations, which also includes unauthorized overtaking. B violations are traffic violations that are less serious. These violations include those who drive tires with an insufficient tread depth or who overdue the main and exhaust emissions tests. These violations also include who during the Driving on the cell phone, he must also face a penalty. The punishment here always depends on the offense. If an accident should happen, tougher laws and regulations apply.

What does the tolerance deduction mean, or what does it mean exactly?

Everyone will have heard the term tolerance deduction before, but only a few know the exact meaning. It is more important, how is this deduction calculated? Anyone flashing at a speed of 100 km / h will be billed at 3 km / h. If the speed is higher, then 3% will be charged. It does not matter whether the offense occurred within a closed village, on a country road or on a motorway. The tolerance deduction is calculated because the devices can sometimes be a little less precise.

PS. If a driving ban has been issued, then there is certain conditions the possibility of submitting a so-called pardon to court. There is more on this topic in the following article!
