Flensburg-Point Index Change Ramsauer Aggravated Penalties

Transport Minister Ramsauer will increase the penalties for the reform of the driving record. Instead of a maximum of two points should be there for serious offenses three points.

The reform of the Flensburg driving record, the penalties become even more acute. This was announced by Transport Minister Peter Ramsauer (CSU) in the "Bild am Sonntag" on. So it should in future be in addition to the categories with one or two points, a third with three points. This penalty will expire in hit and run driving or alcohol and are payable only after ten years. "There are three points in the future, for example, for failure to stop after a road accident, driving in a drunken stupor, to render assistance or severe duress due to tailgating," said Ramsauer. "This should bring the traffic hooligans to reason, since the driving license is gone already with eight points in the future."

The improvements are a response to the results of a discussion forum on the Internet, organized by his ministry. "What is remarkable is the healthy sense of justice for many citizens. You want extra points for serious violations. This was by far the most requested change," said Ramsauer. Many people have also called for increasing the fines for motorists who whiz by on the school buses, children do not buckle up or make calls while driving with the phone. "This is not a part of the reform points, but still a thought-provoking," said Ramsauer. He had introduced the reform in February. Only 8 points instead of 18 traffic offenders may therefore accumulate in the future. So far, a catalog of offenses is to be valued at one to seven points - of Administrative Offences of more serious offenses, including driving ban to driving offenses. They should be grouped into only three broad categories: serious offenses for which there is a point, and very serious offenses with two points and the category has now been announced with three points for offenses. Threatens future license suspension even at 8 instead of 18 points. Registration will be dangerous but only offenses. "The high speeds, one for traffic rules violation, the more his fitness to take damage," said Ramsauer. A "point speedometer" at the traffic light colors should therefore show clearly what is at evaluation stage, a car driver.

And this is how the points FEEDBACK: If one to three points (green), the driver is thus marked in the register only. In four or five points (yellow), there is a warning, at six to seven points (red) and a warning to the duty of a seminar. With eight points or more (black) is the driving license is lost. With this new threshold should annually about 500 motorists more than before the license will have decreased, the ministry expects. So far there are 5000 at 52 million driving license holders. In the "interaction of all new devices" will the eight-point limit to be about the previous 18-point mark, Ramsauer said.

Is completely eliminated the possibility of training to get rid of up to six points again to be able to. "There is no discount points for traffic hooligans give more," said Ramsauer. With plain settling for many previously used this to pay off points. Non-safety-related violations, such as unauthorized entering environmental zones would no longer be recorded in Flensburg. Basically you want to change the system of nested storage times. "We set clear and fixed repayment periods," said the minister. During the period when new breaches in total so far extended in future to every single case, statute of limitations for themselves. In turn, save more: For offenses such as driving more than 1.1 per mille alcohol ten instead of five years, with very serious offenses five instead of two years, for serious infringements, two and a half instead of two years.
Thus, existing transfer

When the target for 2013 will change the current 47 million to the new points system to be converted. It should be no better off or worse off. "A general amnesty will not give it," said Ramsauer, discuss the first, and then wants to work out a bill. The Federal Motor Transport Authority in Flensburg are currently about nine million citizens registered with heavier traffic violations. The ADAC welcomed the long overdue reform. She is also not an excuse for speeders and tailgaters. The police union said, however, of "traffic-political shadow-boxing". The increasingly dissolute morals traffic could be removed only with high-pressure control of the police on the streets to get a grip.
