As dpa reports, Scheuer and the Ministry are already working on a revision of the catalog of fines *. Above all, the regulation that driving at 21 km / h in urban areas and 26 km / h above the speed limit threatens the driving license is considered "disproportionate" . Numerous motorists have criticized this strongly - reference is made to the petition * launched by Mobil in Germany with the title " Undo driving license case of the StVO amendment".
