Warning and fine proceedings in road traffic

Description

The surveillance areas were defined in cooperation with the police.

Outside of the defined surveillance areas, only the police monitor.

Warnings:
In the case of parking offences and minor speeding offences, you will first receive a warning (a ticket on your car or a letter of hearing).

If you pay the warning fine within the set period of one week, this ends the proceedings.

If you pay the fine too late or not at all, or if a mistake is made unnoticed during payment (wrong amount, wrong account number, missing reason for payment), you will automatically receive a fine notice after a few weeks.

Please always state the 13-digit warning number correctly when transferring the money!

Objections to the fine:
If you do not agree with the warning and have a well-founded objection, you can submit your objection within one week by letter, fax or e-mail or come to us in person and place your objection on record. However, we cannot accept your objections by telephone.

We will examine your objections and then decide whether the proceedings can be discontinued or whether a penalty notice will be issued.

Fine proceedings

You will receive a fine notice with the corresponding additional costs (fees and expenses in accordance with Section 107 of the German Administrative Offences Act)

• if you have not paid a warning
• if your objections to the warning could not be accepted
• generally for offences with a fine of 55 euros or more (without prior warning)

you must pay the fine within four weeks.

Appeal against the fine notice:

You have two weeks to lodge an objection to the fine notice. To lodge an appeal, you can send a letter or fax, come in person or give your reasons by telephone. Please note the information on legal remedies on the back of the fine notice.

In the so-called appeal procedure, we will examine the reasons you have given and decide whether the fine can be cancelled. If we cannot accept your appeal, we will give you the opportunity to withdraw the appeal. Otherwise, we will hand the case over to the public prosecutor's office. A court hearing will then take place.
