Laws Changing in Germany

Today....a couple of new German traffic laws get changed, and it's a bit more costly on fines.

For example...if you get into a stau (taffic jam) on the autobahn, and fire department or cops come up from the rear....German law dictates that you move over and provide a 'onward-route' for the emergency crew.  The old fine was 20 Euro.  Now?  320 Euro and a one-month loss of your license.

Getting noticed by the cops while driving and using a cellphone in your hand?  That's now a 200 Euro fine and a one-month loss in driving.

Driving with your face covered?  Like a mask or burqa?  That will become a fine at this point.  Note, you  can wear the various masks that motorcyclists wear during the winter, while on your bike.
