Regular driving ban
In the case of certain traffic offenses , the Road Traffic Act (StVG) in conjunction with the catalog of fines (BKatV) provides, in addition to the imposition of a fine , the ordering of a temporary driving ban ( § 25 StVG) as a regular fine; in these cases one speaks of a regular driving ban ( § 4 BKatV).
In the catalog of fines, primarily the cases of significantly exceeding the speed limit as well as clearly falling below a minimum distance to a vehicle in front are linked to a regular driving ban of between 1 and 3 months.
Example: If the maximum permissible speed is exceeded with a car by more than 30 km / h in town or by more than 40 km / h outside of town, both a fine and a regular driving ban of 1 month are provided for the vehicle driver. If you exceed the speed limit - in addition to the fine - the duration of the driving ban also increases.
A driving ban can be waived under certain conditions (keyword: momentary failure ). However, it is also possible to extend the duration of the ( normal ) driving ban, since the normal cases assume simple negligence on the part of the vehicle driver and "normal" traffic situations . An extension of the driving ban is particularly possible in the event of willful infringement and in connection with traffic accidents.
