Many mistakes can also be made with parking discs.

If the legal requirements are not complied with, there is a risk of a fine in the worst case.

Munich – It should come as no surprise that a missing parking disc can result in a fine.

The fact that you can still make other mistakes with the parking disc is currently being shown in Bavaria.

What many consumers may also not know: the parking disc has legal requirements.

If they are not complied with, there is also a risk of a fine.

Apparently, nobody in the city of Germering had noticed.

The parking disc for the car runs anti-clockwise.

The municipality is therefore now asking its citizens to dispose of the cardboard parking disc.

The city administration generously distributed the blue disc to its car-driving citizens.

Now the official turnaround.

On the city's website, the municipality explains, "Dear Germeringer, dear Germeringer", the disc should be "the other way round".

The numbers on the white turntable were printed upside down.

Instead of 1-2-3-4, the wrong parking discs say 4-3-2-1.

The blue parking disc of the municipality of Germering runs the other way around.

A prankster or did the clocks in Germering just tick differently?

According to the Road Traffic Act StVO, this disc may not even be put on the road.

Since 2014, more than 2,500 faulty parking discs have been distributed,

Focus

quotes a Germering town hall spokeswoman as saying.

This is stipulated by Section 39 of the Road Traffic Act

According to the law, the parking disc must be blue and have a white, rotatable face.

It must also be at least 15 centimeters high and eleven centimeters wide.

Full hours and half hours must be displayed on the disc.

Digits and writing must comply with the DIN 1451 standard.

Parking disc mishap in Germering: Anything that doesn't conform to the norm will be cashed out

However, since the parking discs from Germering do not comply with the norm, they are invalid.

As a citizen had to find out who received a ticket for 20 euros because of the invalid sign behind the windshield of his car, reports the

picture.

So if you don't want to be "cash in", you should dispose of the parking disc immediately.

The city itself apologizes for the little mishap.

Nothing is reported as to how the error came about.

"Normally" drivers receive a warning and fine, even though they have set their parking disc correctly, if they do not park in a space-saving manner (10 euros), ignore a parking ban (10 euros), park illegally - for example on a cycle path or in the second row ( 55 euros) or park in a fire brigade driveway (from 55 euros).

Anyone who parks their box without authorization in a disabled parking space will be asked to pay 55 euros.

Costs increase rapidly when a vehicle needs to be towed.
