Fines for rubbernecking

Post by 93Regina »

Germany raises highway fines for rubbernecking, blocking emergency
vehicles


KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany - Getting stuck in a traffic jam on the
German autobahn might cost more than just time and heartache under a
new German law that significantly raises penalties for failing to open
up the middle lane for emergency vehicles.

The fine will increase from 20 to 320 euros, and a new penalty - loss
of driving privileges for a month - will be imposed for the
infraction. The changes are effective immediately.
