Verkehrsrecht

Verkehrsrecht, or traffic law, encompasses the legal rules governing road use in Germany. It covers driver and pedestrian responsibilities, vehicle registration, licensing, traffic regulations, and safety measures. The goal is to ensure the smooth and safe flow of traffic, prevent accidents, and assign accountability when violations occur. Violations like speeding, running red lights, or drunk driving can lead to fines, points on your license, or more severe penalties. Verkehrsrecht is enforced by authorities to promote lawful, responsible road behavior and to protect all road users.
