driving license and legal regulations

The topic around the driver's license is particularly important for foreigners. According to information from [Tarrededen.de] (https://tarnede.de/verstoss- against-s-s-29-fahren-ahne-fahrere-s-21-StVG/), third-party countries in Germany may be traveling with their driving license acquired abroad for up to six months. After this period, the driver's license must be rewritten, otherwise those affected can be confronted with serious legal problems. Driving without a valid driving license can be seen as a crime, which can result in both fines and points in the traffic central register.

In some court decisions, foreigners were even acquitted that were traveling without a parade in the period after the six -month period. However, the situation becomes particularly critical for professional drivers who have been in Germany for a longer period of time, since their repeated trips can be seen as several crimes. In the case of such legal disputes, careful defense is essential, and the costs for legal advice can quickly reach high sums.

The recent events in Kehl clarify that the combination of cross -border traffic and the complex regulations of the driving license are a challenge for many people. The federal police will remain vigilant and will continue to ensure safety and order in road traffic.
