  • Car tax – Tax office is wrong in my favor

    Hello dear MT-community, nowadays the direct debit procedure for the payment of the car tax has prevailed – many tax offices even demand it. In my case, my tax office charged the correct amount for 2010, but in 2011 36 euros too little. Good for me – for the time being. I shouted today and put myself stupidly. The reason is that my car always runs on my name since the first registration, but in the meantime I changed the registration district. d at the same time have changed from Saisson registration marks to all-year registration marks. The approval has gone perfectly – all right so far. But the tax authority assumes a Saissonal approval – therefore the error and the more favorable tariff for me. What do you mean – should I clarify the tax office or keep it to myself? I want to keep the car for a long time. Do such tax claims expire at some point? Many greetings, the little polar bear

  • Service stations in the Netherlands

    Last year we were in Wassenaar near The Hague and had trouble refueling, or paying, because all gas stations were equipped with card machines. Finally we found one where you could pay in the shop, however, the diesel was then more expensive. Question: which cards are accepted or can you buy somewhere a prepaid card, which you fill up here accordingly? Who knows?

  • Police – your friend and helper

    It’s been a while since there was an all-over saying: “The police – your friend and helper” He seems to have been completely out of fashion, because many threads find that there is an unscathed or hidden aversion to police officers. The question arises about why. Is this distance due to the fact that the gendarme no longer walks through the place or the city policeman no longer goes around the houses – in other words the pers I’m not asking you to misinterpret the “personal contact” – my police leadership certificate has still been white for decades.

  • Consequence of the decline in crude oil production from approx. 2012

    At a Lubricant Congress of the Technical Academy of Esslingen (Stuttgart) in 2000, the mineral oil industry (Exxon, Shell, etc.) was mentioned as assuming that the world reserves of the crude oil – except oil sand and oil shale – are only sufficient until about 2020/2025. This did not take into account the increasing demand for Asia. Meanwhile, a constant demand in Asia has been recorded and we are now facing a growing demand in Asia. Unfortunately, we assume that this will have an impact on the quantities produced and, of course, on the prices. Oilsand: In order to obtain a useful product, very large quantities of aids, e.g. surface active substances, must be used, which are produced 50% from Erdoel. In addition, there is enormous environmental pollution. See Canada !!! Oilslate: In order to be able to degrade the slate, large quantities of surface active substances must also be used here, among other things. It is essential that we develop alternative products or drives as quickly as possible, because all the raw oil – except heating oil and petrol – are produced or required for our life. The remaining raw oil quantities are required for the general needs, e.g. computer, solar, textile, construction aids, lubricants, furniture, etc. El-, cleaning products, car, cosmetics, Parmaceutische Produktproduktion etc., etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the annual electricity costs have at least doubled.

  • Overloading car trailer FSK B by 14%

    For reasons of simplification, the support load is ignored or set at 0. I have a purely hypothetical question about overloading a car trailer and the legal consequences. The following case is assumed: – Driver F has a car A with an additional GG of 2t – the permissible trailer load is 1,7t – the ready-to-service minimum weight is real 1,5t but in the vehicle certificate is registered 1,4-1,45t – The trailer is technically suitable to carry 1,7t (registered load when buying) -The trailer is removed The following problems arise: 1. The trailer is overloaded with 14% 2. If this load would be entered F would drive without a driver’s license 3. Since the trailer has been loaded, no road safety can be proven, after all the trailer would have been suitable for 1.7t. 4. The total permissible weights have not been exceeded, as 2t zGG (train vehicle) ) and 1.45t zGG (follower) together only 3.45t, which is below the FSK B limit of 3.5t 5. The technically permissible trailer load has also not been exceeded Which penalties are to be expected? What would change if the trailer would only be loaded to 1.5t and thus the registered maximum permissible weight is above the registered minimum operating weight of A? Could the missing entry be made about the increase of the ready-to-work minimum weight ? Do you have to submit an expert report from the TÜV or the like?

  • Flashed while towing!

    Hello. I have a question to the legal experts among you, and to all who might have already had the “pleasure” to be in a similar situation. My mother towed me off (the alternator of my BMW 320i had acknowledged the service). On the way to a traffic light, which is known to have a red light flasher. I still thought, “she will make a nice piano now”. Pustekuchen, were just before the stop line, it became red, and we are nice with red over it. My mother in the moving vehicle was flashed. Now my question: is there any trouble with her, or can you just justify it? According to scheme “I had to go over the red traffic light because the towed vehicle would otherwise have rushed on it.” That’s also not exaggerated, the towing rope was quite short, only 2.5m. So I would have sat in the rear of my mother if she had braked. Is there any way out of it? It would be great crap if my mother had a high penalty or even F A ban on the use of drugs.

  • Winter tires: Where the better ones?

    Meal, the question arises again and again as in the subject…the answers to it usually: a) The workshops and popular opinion: The better forward b) The opinion of the traffic clubs, ADAC etc., the better backward, because they hold the rear axle in the track, or a push over the front axle is easier controllable than a breaking tail. Purely from the driving behavior, variant b is obvious for me, however, how can it be seen when braking, or closing. Is the question in which area you should put the weighting?. Are there any known experiences/examinations? Personal opinions are of course also welcome. Greetings

  • Speed limit in Germany

    What do you think about the threatening speed limits in Germany? I am against it because I just like to drive faster and as a free citizen I don’t want to be overguarded by the state. (I’m not a racer, pusher or anything else I always drive so that I don’t ferment anyone else and would also like to do so in the future)

  • Question on the catalogue of fines and speed exceeding

    Hi guys, just as an example of the following case. I drive in town 140km/h, where only 50km/h are allowed. The fine catalog says the following in this offense : over 70 km/h 425,- EUR, 4 points, 3 months driving ban Now it is also still so, that I am in the probation period, but before that had no entry in Flensburg. Threaten me besides the penalty and the construction seminar still further consequences, for example, an idiot test, because this is a kind of “special” offense, since one knows The background of this thread is the fact that I got my father’s SL 65 AMG on the weekend and turned off my head for 2 seconds and left my foot on the accelerator pedal. The whole thing happened on a very busy road, where also often flashes, although I don’t know exactly if this was the case. Of course there is no excuse for this behavior -.- I ask for advice.

  • Accidents on rural roads – Which countermeasures would be useful?

    Hi, as can be seen from various statistics, despite an existing speed limit on rural roads, there is still a disproportionately high risk of traffic accidents, in which the risk of serious or fatal injuries is extremely high due to the high speeds that are being driven there. Which (building + traffic technical) measures do you consider useful in addition to increased speed controls to make this road category safer?
