The reason for this is that in the German vehicle documents (ZUB I and ZUB II ) there is a line behind the identification mark. Supposedly up to 500 euros the penalties should amount.Every driver who plans to drive to Austria or Italy should first report to his registration office and have a new vehicle certificate ( ZUB I ) issued without a line. If possible, it has already been approved by the rapid procedure and will probably occur in the near future. The cut-off line will be deleted in general. Kling good = the line will be deleted I would like to use this hint to protect and warn those who still have the cut-off line in the ZUIB I and plan a trip to the countries shortly bwz. http://en.autoblog.com/…/ Schönes WE
