With the turn of the year there are always some rule changes.
As of January 2022, this will also affect drivers in some points.
Here is an overview:
The new year 2022 is just around the corner - and with the turn of the year there are also innovations for Germany.
Among other things, supermarkets are affected by this - because at Lidl, Kaufland and Co. shopping is becoming more expensive due to a certain rule change *.
But even drivers have to observe new rules for January, as reported by echo24.de *.
While the new catalog of fines for road traffic has been in effect since the beginning of November 2021 and brings higher penalties, for example for excessive speed, other regulations will only come into force on January 1st.
The CO2 price, which will be increased to 30 euros per ton in 2022, should be particularly painful.
This makes petrol and diesel even more expensive.
Rules 2022: This applies to drivers in the new year - TÜV, first-aid kit, driver's license
When it comes to driving licenses, German citizens must pay attention from 2022 - because many driving licenses are now gradually expiring.
In a detailed overview, echo24.de reports on the new regulations on driving licenses *.
Anyone who does not renew their driver's license in good time must expect a warning fee.
In 2022, an innovation relating to the first-aid kit will also be important for every car owner.
In future, according to an ordinance of the federal government, two mouth-nose masks must always be included in the first-aid kit.
It should also be exciting that yellow HU badges will lose their validity in 2021.
The brown stamp will apply from 2022 and the yellow TÜV sticker has expired.
Autozeitung.de reports that
anyone who overdoes them risks being fined

Rules for drivers in 2022: Changes also for some e-cars
There is good news for electric cars.
Because the innovation bonus for e-cars has been extended by the federal government until the end of 2022.
According to
ADAC
, this means that buyers of electronically powered cars can continue to count on the subsidy of 9,000 euros.
However, there will be a restriction for plug-in hybrids from January 1st.
Because the e-car bonus is only available if the vehicle in question can drive at least 60 kilometers if only the electric drive is used.
In addition, the models are allowed to emit a maximum of 50 grams of CO2 per kilometer.
