Caution: false warning indicators can be expensive!

Kassel, Deutschland - Again and again drivers conjure up the warning indicator from their trick box - but they not only risk a fine, but several! According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, over four million traffic violations were registered last year, including the wrong use of the warning indicator. This should actually serve to warn of dangerous situations, but many abuse it when parking or holding in the second row.

If you illegally park with the warning indicator in the second row, you can be confronted with several fines. "For the unauthorized parking, there is a risk of 55 euros, the hinder of other road users even costs 70 euros," said the ADAC. If you continue to disregard the lock and stay there for more than 15 minutes, you have to expect 85 euros. And that's not all: a switched on warning indicators in such situations brings an additional 5 euros for misuse! Drivers who do not take it so precisely with the regulations have to adjust to an expensive ticket. If you stay cleverly, you save the punishments! more www.merkur.de .
