My first point

After 43 years without points, I was caught on Saturday. Everything has come to an end… I stood at the red traffic light of a deserted junction, engine was off (start-stop automatic), brake was kicked, then the mobile phone was taken into the hand, switched off, and put away again. Duration of the process about 3 sec. The traffic light was then still for a good 15 sec. red, the engine was kicked out, the brake. Behind a wall in the blind corner to the right of me a patrol car had hidden. I then had it shortly afterwards with red glowing “stop” invitation behind me. Two young officials, discussion futile. 100 euros, one point. Perhaps the revenues in 2019 in this district are not yet correct. In any case, I feel the punishment at this height as disproportionate, even if the legislator so determined it after the last legislative amendment.
