The streets are full these days, there is traffic jam and chaos. Accidents are there preprogrammed. No wonder, then, that it comes to slowing down, closing up and honking loudly. But when a driver feels pressured, he gets hectic and often reacts wrongly. That's why it's called coercion, what verboten at a hunt.
What coercion means
If a forced reaction is brought about by aggressive driving behavior, one speaks of coercion. This is often used by the aggressor Headlights and jostling (close up) reached. This leads to dangerous actions such as quickly cutting in between a truck or the distressed person increases the speed significantly so that the safety distance to the pester is re-established. Without the jostling it would not have got that far, so one speaks of coercion.
Headlight flasher equals coercion?
If overtaking is necessary, this can be done with a headlight flasher to be announced. That is allowed! However, if the driver drives too close and repeatedly flasher the headlights, this is a compulsion. It should be noted here that if a car driver states that he has felt “pressured” for a long time and intensely, the judiciary often believes the driver.
When there is no coercion
If you have to drive up tight for a short time because the traffic situation allows it, that's okay for now. However, this is allowed only short and not long term take place. Fading in and driving up close for a long time creates a predicament for the vehicle in front. It can therefore be used for Fine, points as well as driving bans come. Jostling including headlights can even result in the driver's license withdrawn for up to six months is.
Which driving maneuvers are considered to be compulsory
If a driver feels pressured and is thereby led to to act against one's will, then there is a coercion. This can also be expressed in that the victim has to tolerate a certain behavior or his own driving style is changed. Slowing down and narrow reeving are definitely part of it. When other vehicles from geschnitten is considered "wrong overtaking". Thus the fact of the matter is Road traffic hazard (Section 315c Paragraph 1 No. 2b StGB). This also includes honking drivers looking for a parking space. This is also to be seen as a coercion. Even if the traffic light turns green, you must not be forced to continue driving immediately.
If there is a need to stubbornly adhere to the speed limit
Since this is a behavior that conforms to the rules, it can not punishable be. So if someone drives exactly 50 km / h, if 50 are allowed, then he is not doing anything wrong.
How is the compulsion regulated according to the road traffic regulations (StVO)
The coercion is regulated in criminal code. Paragraph 240 is observed there. Corresponding crimes can even be punished with imprisonment. This can be up to three years in prison, or at least very costly. Or both. However, perpetrators who become suspicious for the first time can often expect fines amounting to one month's income. If a driver cuts his opponent, the traffic is endangered. Therefore, there are heavy fines of up to one and a half monthly income. It can then additionally lead to the driver's license to get withdrawn. Then there is a lock that up to 15 months can be long.
Dealing with complaint for coercion
Traffic law experts recommend not to reply to the letter from the police. Otherwise, a false confession may be made by stating that you drove this vehicle. As a rule, the notifier only passes on the license plate number and the vehicle type. The driver's description is often missing. The judiciary must therefore determine who the driver was. This is hardly impossible without a driver description.
What to do if I am harassed?
It is important that the police meet the driver caught in action. For this reason the police should be called immediately. A patrol will check the facts immediately, if possible. The reason is that the driver has to be caught and not just the car. It depends on, who just driving. Time and place are important to the police. The license plate should also be available. The driver's face is also important in identifying the perpetrator. The police cannot always catch the driver. A more detailed description of the perpetrator is therefore important. This can lead to a later conviction. It becomes difficult when the driver is not the vehicle owner. Then this would have to be found out first. Such advertisements often come to nothing.
Drive slowly when you are jostling?
It is not compliant to respond to coercion with "counter-coercion". Then you step into the area of coercion yourself and make yourself liable to prosecution.
What are the penalties for pushers?
Jostling is one misdemeanor according to StVO. This is followed by fines and points in Flensburg. The higher the speed and the less distance, the more expensive it becomes. There is up to 80 km / h 25 Euros Warning money. If there is a hazard, it is 30 Euros. In the event of property damage, the amount can be increased to 35 Euros increase. Jostling, bis 130 km/h costs the perpetrator 75 to 320 Euro Fine. In addition, there are one or two points in Flensburg. But it can also be up to three months driving ban to be imposed. if and Tempo 130 is pushed out, it can 100 to 400 Euro costs. Up to two points can also follow, as well as one driving ban. This can then make the driver's license disappear for two to three months.
Show nosy fingers your finger
This represents an insult (§ 185 StGB). Such a procedure can often be discontinued if 200 to 500 Euro to be paid. But you should refrain in any case.
Parking offenders themselves
This is considered coercion and can result in a fine of one month's net income. This applies to illegal parking in public or private parking lots, as well as to the illegal blocking of electric charging stations. But it can also be done with the e-vehicle not can simply be parked behind the blocker to load the car.
Of course, that wasn't the end of it.
