Federal Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer accuses the Greens of delaying the resolution of the dispute over the catalog of fines.
It is now signaling that it is ready for tightening.
There is a new compromise in the dispute over the catalog of fines.
Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer accuses the Greens of blocking the solution to the conflict.
Now he indicates a further concession.
A new proposal for the
catalog of fines
stipulates that
driving bans should
only apply in certain areas, such as kindergartens or construction sites,
if the
speed is exceeded
by 21 kilometers per hour in urban areas and 26 kilometers per hour outside of town.
A
new regulation
became necessary after the version
was declared invalid
due to a
formal error
in the most recent amendment to the
road traffic regulations
.
The aim of the new reform was to
better protect
cyclists
and pedestrians.
In
parallel with the reform, the
Federal Council
tightened the
catalog
of
fines
.
The new proposal has already received the
green light
from the
interior departments
and
transport politicians
of the Union *, SPD and FDP.
Federal Transport Minister
Andreas Scheuer
(CSU *) has
accused
the
Greens of
blocking a solution to the dispute.
"With the exception of a few
Greens
in the federal states, everyone is interested in a technically good
compromise solution
.
This is now on the table and can be implemented immediately, ”
Scheuer
told the newspapers of the Funke media group.
“There is compromise against blockade.
Now it depends on the political will of some
Greens,
"said
Scheuer
and added:" If I may make a request for all political forces: Decide on the
compromise
- in the interests of the weaker
road users
. "

Scheuer announces compliance
In addition, the
Minister of Transport
signaled
in the interview that he
wanted to continue to accommodate
the parties in the
conflict
: “In addition to the compromise, we offer to take a further step against the real, the rough and persistent
speeders
.
We hold out our hand for such a common solution, ”he said.
“Only the most severe
penalties
,
fines
and
driving bans
can help against those who race with screeching tires in the city center and thus consciously endanger others
.
We have to give the
police
every opportunity to intervene.
I am ready to tighten it here, "assured Scheuer. However, there are also examples where the
penalty
would be disproportionate - for example, if a sales representative overlooks a 30 sign on a main road in a city he does not know. if he drives faster than 50 km / h, according to the regulation, the driver's license immediately.
