The chairman of the Conference of Transport Ministers (VKM), Bremen's Senator for Mobility Maike Schaefer (Greens), welcomed the Federal Council's decision to significantly tighten the catalog of fines in the road traffic regulations. “The novella was overdue. I am glad that we have now been able to resolve the blockade amicably. The changes will make a significant contribution to greater road safety, especially for pedestrians and cyclists, ”said Schaefer on Friday.
Bremen - The new catalog provides, among other things, noticeably higher fines for drivers who are traveling at excessive speed and are flashed.
“This should be a clear signal to speeders that they will now be asked to pay if they don't follow the rules of the game.
Excessive speed is one of the most common causes of accidents.
That has to be over, "said the Green politician.
