If the traffic light was already yellow: threaten these fines!

Experience has shown that anyone who drives through the traffic light when it is red risks high fines (Red light violation). But not only that is taboo, driving over yellow can also result in severe penalties. The statement "That was still yellow!“Is common when drivers want to quickly cross the traffic lights. The question now is, when does the issue of a red light ride exist and what are the consequences? The sense of a traffic light is obvious. It regulates the traffic at intersections, at junctions or at markings for pedestrian traffic. When it turns green, traffic can go. Behavior at the traffic light: should you wait when it's yellow?

Can you still drive in yellow?

Some drivers claim they still do are allowed to drive in yellow and that driving, if it is already red, will only be prosecuted after one second of the red phase. But even if the traffic light is yellow, road users should wait for the next signal from the traffic light - before the intersection. Because disregarding the yellow traffic light can also be Fine of 10 euros with itself, namely when it could still have been stopped safely.

Much more expensive - because dangerous - when the traffic light was red!

The catalog of fines provides for high fines - and rightly so if you drive through the traffic light when it is red. Because the red light commands quasi the stop in front of the intersection. Anyone who violates this risk risks serious accidents and is rightly punished severely. Simply violating the red light phase costs at least 90 Euros and there are a point in Flensburg. And if the action put others in danger, it will result in a fine of 200 Euros, there are 2 points and a month-long driver's license withdrawal. If even an accident happens while driving in red, it will 240 Euros punished. And the question of guilt should then be clear.

Red phase - longer than a second

The penalties are even harsher when the red light is on already a second lit up, and you still crossed the traffic lights. It is then automatically assumed that there was a particular risk for the other road users. There are up to 360 Euros, two points and a driving ban due. And anyone who thinks that stopping at traffic lights only affects drivers is wrong. The fines for cycling through are not to be underestimated either: they start at 60 and end at 180 euros.

Cyclists can also score points

What many cyclists do not know: if you ignore a red phase, you also get a point in Flensburg if you have a driver's license at the same time. And even pedestrians can be fined five to ten euros be occupied if they ignore a red light.

Of course, that wasn't the end of it.
