For corrections, missing sources and passages that do not read clearly. Please do not send us fine notices or case numbers.
How to reach us
For notes on content, sources and calculation methods. We do not advise on individual cases and we represent nobody.
Please do not send us documents
Do not send us fine notices, case numbers, registration plates, licence details or photographs. A German fine notice contains personal data and a case reference — we need neither and do not want to store either. For your question, the situation in your own words is enough.
Overview
What you can write about
A figure is wrong
If an amount, a points value or a deadline differs from the official source, that is the most valuable message we can receive. Please name the page and the provision.
A source is missing or out of date
Every figure here hangs on a source. If a reference leads nowhere, or a provision has been amended, tell us.
Something is unclear
If an explanation raises more questions than it answers, the text is at fault, not the reader. Tell us which passage.
An offence is missing from the catalogue
The catalogue covers the most-asked-about rows, not all of them. If yours is missing, we will add it to the list.
Next step
Speeding
Enter the charged excess from your notice and choose whether it happened inside or outside a built-up area. The result shows the standard rate, the points and any driving ban — and whether the repeat rule applies.
Related offences
Speeding
The bands of the speeding table for cars, split by inside and outside built-up areas. A motorway counts as outside — there is no separate motorway table.
Phones and electronic devices
The prohibition covers electronic devices generally, not just phones. The tiers differ according to whether the offence endangered anyone or caused damage.
Parking and stopping
Most parking offences carry no points — but not all of them. Where obstruction is involved, the row changes and so does the consequence.
