  • Italy: drastically stricter penalties for traffic offenders

    The Italians are “traditionally” not so zimperlich in the handling of traffic offenders, the reins have now been attracted again. Since the beginning of August already in force. Examples: Speed overruns: 40-60 km/h too much: Bus fee 370 – 1548 Euro + driving license withdrawal 3-6 months (previously 1-6 months, the withdrawal of the driving license applies to holidaymakers for the time of the holiday in Italy). 60 km/h or more: 500 – 2000 Euro, driving license away for 6-12 months. Repetitive offenders will get rid of the driver’s license for 1-3 months. The driver’s license will be right at the wheel of alcohol: if you are caught with 0.5 – 0.8 promilles, you will pay 500 – 2000 euros, go into construction for up to one month and get rid of your driver’s license for 3-6 months. At 0.8 – 1.5 promilles it will cost 800 – 3200 euros, the prison visit will take up to three months and the driver’s license will not be seen again for 6-12 months. And who thinks with more than 1.5 P It may be necessary to talk to his bank: 1500 – 6000 euros are due. Furthermore, you should say goodbye to your neighbours up to half a year, because you spend this period behind Swedish curtains. To pay off the up to 6000 euros you can probably give your car in payment immediately because you no longer need it any more 1-2 years, as long as the driver’s license is gone. The opinions about such measures may differ far Against the background of the excessive speed and alcohol are the most common causes of accidents in Germany and thus a few thousand people lose their lives each year (no matter if innocent or not), hundreds of thousands are injured and tens of thousands become invalids I have for a long time no longer understood the cymbal attitude of the legislator in the punishment of such offences. But seems to be the price that the public for the free In this context, the motto “no tolerance” is too harsh? At least as long as you are not affected as a member of your family yet? Would means of transport such as aircraft, shipping or railways demand such sacrifices in Germany year after year, no one would be able to enter. What do you think about it: to do so or to continue as before? Is there a clear adjustment to the top (to at least partially) necessary? Ciao!

  • Security features of a vignette

    Hello, I hope I have chosen the right subforum here, if not it can be postponed gladly, thanks. Since I will soon go on holiday and have to drive through the beautiful Switzerland, I need a vignette. However, since I only pass through, I offered an unused vignette at an auction house. This auction was ended early by the auction house and the provider contacted me by mail. He offered me the vignette at the price of 10Euro, but only the goods there nn the money. How am I going to be sure that the vignette is not a fake. Are there any features, I have not been able to cover anything unsavory and have no acquaintance who has the current on his vehicle. Would be nice if someone could tell me what characteristics there can be, or if there are any fake vignettes at all. Thank you for reading and helping in advance.

  • Physical crash tests

    I recently asked myself the following question: one compares: a) a VW Golf V with 60 km/h (approx. 1300 kg) against a concrete wall b) two VW Golf V with 60 km/h frontal against each other Do both scenarios have the same effect or is the golf against the wall after the crash even better in shot than if my two golfs frontal against each other??? the common sense would say that the two golfs must be more deformed against each other because 2×60 km/h but clearly more rumms produced as only 1×60 km/h… on the other hand, if you consider the whole with the energy conservation sentence, both scenarios would have to go out about the same, because: if you crash a golf against a wall, there is a lot of kinetic energy available, which has to be dismantled. if you crash two golfs against each other, the double amount of energy is present, however, there is also twice as much bleak and knauchzone available to dismantle it again, so it actually ends in that every car is e degrades its own energy and thus results in the same effects as in a crash against a wall. what is your opinion about this??? (sry, actually wanted to write “physical question to crash tests”)

  • Another distance measurement: What happens if someone drives me in front of me?

    Hello everyone! I have already read the signs for the distance measurement further down, but I have a question and maybe you know some advice: What happens if I am on a 3 lane highway on the left with 130 faster than the car on the middle lane, but this shortly before me changes to my track and I drive too close with it? Ok, I could then slow down strongly and restore the distance again. Unfortunately did not happen yesterday: Instead have ic h only took his foot off the gas, got slower behind him, drove still too tight (somewhat between 6 and 12 m) with approx. 110km/h and then accelerated again when he drove after his overtaking again on the middle strip. Wouldn’t everything be so tragic if there was not a distance measurement on the next bridge led. That was then when he changed again to the middle strip at the time about 150 m away. Must now believe in my driving license for 2 to 3 months because he changed the lane to mine although I was already too tight and could not keep the safety distance anymore or then could not be so much slower to restore it? Or is the measurement of the actual distance only made in the area marked on the road? When this area started, I was already past it and had enough distance Achja again, thanks to google Maps still a picture: draw the blue line The red point on the bridge is the camera on the middle strip, which I could still make out. For the area of the two green strokes I was forced to close behind the other one until he had completed his overtaking. The whole thing happened on the A46 between Hilden-West and Hilden-East, driving direction Wuppertal. I would be grateful for your opinion…

  • In the event of an accident to notify …..

    Hello together. A few days ago I received folder mail: Emergency number ICE (In Case of Emergency) – Powered by Samsung – Sensual tip from Samsung! The rescuers and ambulance drivers have noticed that in the road accident most wounded have a mobile phone with them. However, when using it you do not know who to contact from these long contact lists. Ambulance drivers have suggested that everyone in their contact lists the person to be contacted in the emergency. r enters the same pseudo: The internationally recognized pseudo is : ICE ( = In Case of Emergency). Under this name you should enter the person who should be called in case of emergency by police, fire department or first aid. If several people are to be contacted, you need ICE1, ICE2, ICE3, etc. Easy, costs nothing, but can do much. Please send this message to all friends and acquaintances, so that this procedure will be applied worldwide! ——————— — How are we currently dealing with cases in which the injured person is unresponsible? Is he also looking for a contact person in his mobile phone? Is this pseudo ICE really there? Greeting

  • Overtake right at 3 lanes

    Hello, every morning and every evening you can watch the same picture on the A3 between Oberhausen and Cologne. On the left lane the cars crawl each other into the exhaust – the middle lane is almost free – on the right some trucks and a few cars. Now it is common that the traffic flow collapses the full left lane and almost comes to a standstill, while 2 lanes further on the right loosely continues with 90-100 km/h. As far as I know, is allowed to pass right, w the speed is not higher than 80 km/h and the difference in speed of the two adjacent lanes is not greater than 20 km/h. What if there is an almost empty middle lane between the almost standing queue on the left and the moving vehicles on the right? Does this still count as “right overtaking”? Do the vehicles on the right have to brake almost to the stand or up to a speed X, in order not to be regarded as right overtaking? But I’ve never seen it before.

  • Tank or road – who has advanced

    Hello, I’m on the blue line, which is where the red points are also a one-way road. this ends opposite a tank exit. if I want to turn left into the front road (blue line) and opposite one of the tanks to the right into the same front road (green line), who has then advanced? I’m of the opinion that the one in the tank exit has to wait, since it’s just one exit, and the other ne road. and not like at a crossing, where then the right-abbieger is allowed to drive first. since no legal advice can be given in foren, no one is called to account for his statements in this thread, it is only about opinions

  • How long do you have to wait for buss money?

    Hello am new here & don’t know if I chose the right forum. now to my case, I was flashed on a highway in an 80’s zone with about 120 months ago. since I was waiting for my bus money notification. I have to add that I moved a year ago, but I didn’t report this in the registration office. so… yesterday some post/currier woman called me and asked me about the old and the new address (which she already knew), and said: e that I’m about to post. I think this will be my enrollment for the bus money. I’ve read that after 3 months the bus money doesn’t have to be paid anymore. if my bus money comes now, and I’m not home, I can pick up the notification a week later, and for example, I’d have been on vacation??? mfg how_my?

  • if guardrails fail

    I have just read about a hospital car that broke through a guardrail and landed in a stream. sure the more than a common passenger car weighs, only I wonder, if a guardrail should not guide and impact should not also prevent a vehicle from breaking through? and how does it get legal, a passenger can make a road traffic office liable in case of a break due to poor maintenance o.æ. if behind the guardrail a Abyss lurks (so something), then the might follow even more important than a few bumps and scrape at the kørper… the ambulance from three perspectives: 1, 2, 3. liebe gruss oli
