Freshly discovered on FB… Quotation: Today is May 1, 2014 – today the new driving fitness register (FaER) comes into force. One of the most prominent changes: For manipulative changes to exhaust systems, there are no more points. According to the new law there are only points for violations that affect traffic safety. A too loud exhaust does not belong to it. An information from the Federal Ministry of Transport on our request in January had made something else to expect. N However, no. 214a of the old catalogue of fines was split into 214a and 214b: “214a – vehicle put into service despite the expiry of its type-approval and thus significantly impairs road safety (§ 19 paragraph 5 sentence 1& § 69a paragraph 2 no. 1a StVO) 214a.1 – a lorry or bus -180 € 214a.2 – a vehicle other than those referred to in 214a.1 – 90 € 214b – vehicle put into service despite the expiry of its type-approval and thus significantly improve the environment. Impaired (§ 19 paragraph 5 sentence 1& § 69a paragraph 2 no. 1a StVO) 214b.1 – a lorries or lorries -180 € 214b.2 – a vehicle other than those mentioned in 214a.1 – 90 €- According to No. 3.5.8 of the new point catalogue (Appendix 13 to § 40 FEV), there is one point for violations of No. 214a BKatV, but not for violations of No. 214b. We would like the DB killers to be mounted and manipulation to remain the exception. In the interests of ourselves, we as motorcyclists should take this into consideration, because roadblocks are discussed in many places.
