New Traffic Woes

As of next Tuesday in Germany, there are some new traffic situations:

1.    For parking violations....the fine goes tup to 100 euros and possibly even a point is put on your record.

Parking in a fire-protected spot?  New fine of 55 Euro.  If parked in a public area but blocking emergency vehicles?  100 Euro.

Parking in a disabled parking spot?  New fine of 55 Euro.

2.  Adding devices to your car to make more excessive noise?  100 Euro.

3.  Using a speed app of any type to prevent the blitz-cameras from seeing your tag?  That will be a 75 Euro fine.

4.  Anyone going 16 km over the speed limit (in a urban area or country environment).....gets a point now.

5. If you exceed the speed limit by 21 kph, a fine of 80 Euro occurs, and you get two points.  Plus....here is the shocker.....a whole month without the license.

A general note, this 'catalog' gets updated every twelve months or so, and it's imperative that you continually review it.  Someone who has been out of the country for five years....might be a bit shocked over fines and points.
