If there is an overshoot of the steering time, high pencil fields are due. The driving and rest periods for truck drivers have been introduced to reduce the risk of accidents on the road. Due to wrong scheduled breaks or non-compliance of this and regular overtime it came to fatigue of professional drivers and thus quite many road accidents . The legally stipulated driving and resting times according to the working time law, road map regulation and social regulations in Germany should thus ensure the protection of the occupational group. In addition, this Germany-wide regulation obligation and thus for every company within the sector is binding, so it harmonizes competition. The driving and rest times in detail The driving time of truck broken down again in daily driving time and weekly driving time. In the following paragraph these two terms will be explained in more detail. Truck driving times: Which working hours a truck driver must observe 1. The daytime Driving times and rest periods of trucks are strictly regulated At the time of the day, all those activities which are actually related to the work of a professional motorist belong. This includes the time when the vehicle needs to temporarily hold, such as in a traffic jam or stopping for a traffic light, crossing barrier, etc. The daily driving time, therefore, describes the time between rest periods. In addition, these are the actual truck driving hours. Professional drivers maximum of 9 hours a day, according to driving and rest times in traffic on his. However, they are allowed twice per calendar week increase the daily driving time to 10 hours. Breaks lasting less than 15 minutes do not count towards the daytime when the truck driver is not sitting in front of the steering wheel. Should the duration be known a waiting period in the run, this is not part of the driving time but to other work. These can, for example, be the loading and unloading of goods. The driving time may only be interrupted by a sufficiently long travel interruption as well as by rest periods. 2. The weekly time A week to determine the driving time begins every Monday 00:00 and ends on Sunday 24 AM. During this time the week time is set. This value may not exceed the number of hours from 56 hours. In addition, the driving time is also defined in the double week. This may not grow according to driving and rest times over 90 hours. To calculate this time, two consecutive calendar weeks must be fed in each case. Again, the legal week is from Monday to Sunday, from 0 to 24 hours. With a little luck truckers land at the end of your daily driving time on the deposited or unknown resting places. As part of this they experience sometimes bizarre. The website of the Church Trucker collect unusual experiences and provides tips on how the waiting time can spend entertaining. Driving time interruption: Recovery for truck drivers Once the driver is not sitting in front of the steering wheel and does not exercise other activities such as loading or unloading, is spoken by a driving period interruption in driving and rest periods. This time should only be used for recreation. After a driving time of 4.5 hours a driving period interruption of at least 45 minutes must be made. Moreover, this time can also be divided into two sections, so that a portion of 15 minutes within the driving time and the second 30 minutes directly after 4.5 hours. If there are several people on the road, the driving and rest times are also valid, so the driving time can also be used on the passenger seat. After the interruption, a further driving time of 4.5 hours starts. Driving and resting times: overview of daily and weekend rest periods for truck drivers Not to be confused with the driving time interruptions, the rest period as the time on the day designated in the motorist has no free time and driving hours makes. It does not matter where this time is used. For example, take the rest period on a ferry or train a truck driver, if there is a place to sleep. Of course, the rest period can also be enjoyed in the vehicle, as long as the truck has a sleep option and does not drive. Regular rest period Reduced rest period Daily rest period At least 11 hours (or divided: first 3 followed by 9 hours) At least 9 hours and max. 11 hours Weekly rest period At least 45 hours At least 24 hours and max. 45 hours The weekly rest period of 45 or 24 hours is usually taken due to the truck traffic ban on Sundays at the weekend to complete, so it is called in the profession by a weekend rest period the truck. According to the working time regulations for trucks, a new daily rest period must be taken no later than 24 hours after the last daily or weekly rest period for truck drivers. Three times within a week, professional drivers can shorten the daytime rest. The daily journey of a driver from the place of residence to the place of the company is not included in the driving time, but is counted as rest. Exceptions of driving and resting times for trucks As soon as the truck driver interrupts the break or rest period, this is a violation and can with a fine are punished. However, there are exceptions so that the driver can move his vehicle away during the break. If, for example, a motorist wants to place the fire brigade or police station, he may move his vehicle away after being requested by an authority. A second exception takes effect as soon as the truck driver does not manage to reach a suitable holding position in time, thus resulting in a steering time overshoot. It may deviate from the driving and resting times for lorries, provided that this ensures the safety of persons, their own vehicle or the load. However, the driver must record this deviation of the truck's driving time immediately after he has reached the holding position. Tachograph vs. Tachograph EC control unit The tacho disc as a tachograph for trucks The driving and rest periods must be adhered to, as otherwise fines are due. But how can the times be checked? The mechanical tachograph, or colloquially known as tachographs or tachograph chart, was a paper disc in goods vehicles in Germany, which were registered before 1 May 2006, the speed of the truck, the distance traveled and the driving and rest periods Recorded. From this date has been the EC recording equipment, or digital tachographs, introduced as a result of an EU regulation, which now acts as a digital tachograph. The device has a chip that stores all important data such as working time. The truck driver has a driver card with which he registers with the EC control unit. In addition to this card, there is also a workshop, control and company card, with which data on the device can be read out like working hours. This data is secured 365 days on a sealed chip and 28 days on the driver's card, which is tied to a person, ie the driver. The truck driver comes in a control, a digital tachograph can police show all driving and rest periods. If these have not been complied with properly, it can quickly become expensive. In the case of the fines, the head of the company is also asked to pay a toll in addition to the truck driver.

There is no fixed statutory fine for insults. The fines are average values by which you can refer. The Stinkfinger in the road traffic is a serious offense and has a high fine. The offense in road traffic: What punishment threatens? Is an offense a crime? What are the consequences of the Mittelfinger show in road traffic? Is there a list of fine insults in road traffic? There are answers to all these questions in this guidebook. Many motorists have no control in traffic: Feels someone treated unfairly - and that comes in the market before many times, as some motorists do not abide by the rules - he freaks out and is abusive. Commit that motorists with an insult in traffic an offense, know the least. Not infrequently, road users encounter ruthless drivers who are not in control of their rage and become offensive. They throw insults around or show the middle finger. But the insult on the road can be very costly: several thousand euros can cost offensive lapses at the wheel. The most common triggers for insults in traffic are pushing, cutting, and the disregard for the right of way . In addition to fines insults can even draw a prison sentence. You should avoid aggression in the car. You insult not only to other road users and must pay a fine for insulting - you endanger simultaneously the traffic safety . By not paying attention to traffic, you will be at risk. What is the fine precipitates depends on the net income of the person concerned and of the circumstances in - context, tone, court etc. - from. The amount shall be calculated in daily rates. Most ten to thirty daily rates to be imposed for an offense. The daily rate is 30,000 euros according to § 40 para. 2 StGB. The punishment for an offense in road traffic can be very expensive. For repeat offenders Larger penalties are required. You have to pay more per diem rates and expect a prison sentence of up to one year. In addition to the monetary and imprisonment can be imposed as a supplementary penalty, a temporary driving ban. It may also be that you have to pay the injured party for pain and suffering. Victims can defend themselves by displaying the insult on the road. Then get those who have not had control not only a penalty notice, but the summons to court. There may be additional charges in court. Legal costs are incurred, which will not pay insurance for display defamation. In case of intentional acts - and which include verbal abuse - is the legal expenses insurance is not an admission charge. There is no standard list of penalties for insults. Therefore, the punishment varies for the offense. What is an offense? A incurred in traffic offense is in accordance with § 185 of the Criminal Code (Criminal Code) a criminal offense and may result in a fine or even prison sentence. The insults include verbal expressions, but also gestures. The offense is a deliberate violation of a person's honor by the announcement of defiance or disrespect. If the criminal application is filed and an ad is raised against the offense, the proceedings begin. This must be done within three months - after this time, the offense is time-barred. The insults can be divided into light and serious cases. Even with indirect insults such as "I wish I could now say asshole to you!" It makes it illegal. If the offense is replied (eg self-idiot!), Judges may declare both or one of the persons involved in a non-punishment pursuant to § 199 StGB. Since February only safety-related traffic offenses in driving ability Register (FAER) are detected and punished with points. Insults have not been stored in the FAER since then. However, this does not result in a change in the punishment with money and imprisonment. The middle finger on the road The middle finger on the road is one of the very serious offenses, so this fact can be particularly expensive. Think carefully about what you express or gesticulate: the offense can lead to an advertisement and the resulting fine can cost up to 4,000 euros. Insults against police officers Official defamation often leads to an advertisement in road traffic. Particular care should be when you insult police or traffic wardens. Because they embody the state power means that you simultaneously insulting the state. The police report in this case, usually immediately display for insulting the road. Already the Duzen a policeman pulls a fine of several hundred euros to be. Also extending the sole tongue can cost you 300 euros. Even pointing the stink finger to the lens of a video surveillance camera is considered a public offense. The offense is against the official sitting in front of the monitor. Insults abroad Keep abreast of insults abroad. Each country has its own gestures and punishments, which may not always be known to you. What is certain is that the middle finger is regarded as an insult worldwide. Relax!   Breathe through before insulting other traffic. You will be annoyed if you pay hundreds or thousands of euros just because you have not thought for a second. Adjust disagreements calmly and talk to each other without offending each other.

Penalties for drug use in road traffic

Drugs at the wheel

In addition to alcohol, there is the illicit use of drugs such as cannabis before driving, which leads to a minimization of driving ability. In the worst case, you can even lose your driving license for several months. For the various intoxicating substances there are different limits. If the driver is not diagnosed with driving, there is no criminal offense, but according to the Road Traffic Act, driving under the influence of "intoxicating means" such as cannabis is considered to be illegal.

In the list of fines, the amount of the fine increases proportionally to the number of violations of the prohibition of drug use. If you are caught the first time, a fine of 500 euros, a point in Flensburg and a one-month driving ban. In addition, a medical psychological examination (MPU) is prescribed. In the Volksmund as an "Idiotentest" designated, this correctly stated "appraisal of the driving ability" as the name implies, give information about whether the traffic in the driver's state is suitable for driving a vehicle.

The third time, the fine is already raised to 1500 euros and the driving ban to three months.
So if you get caught, this will break a delicate hole in the purse. Therefore it is not necessary to consume drugs like cannabis or at least to wait a reasonable time before you get behind the tax again.

How the abuse of drugs is determined behind the tax

Did you look striking on the road, for example, by inconsistent driving ability, behavior and becomes a traffic control stopped, you have a problem. Performing a quick drug test that measures the concentration of the substance in the sweat or saliva, is actually voluntary. However, in the case of an initial suspicion, as mentioned above, for example, in the case of an uncertain driving mode, a blood test can be arranged by a judge.

Drug consumption during the probationary period

Young people are mainly experimenting with drugs. It is therefore not surprising that driving under the influence of drugs is one of the A-violations of offenses during the probation period. It is then a serious infringement of the road traffic regulations. Without further increases when one-time commission of the A-infringement trial period of four years and an advanced seminar, which costs between 250 Euro and 400 Euro, is arranged. If the novice again violates this now four-year trial period of the prohibition of drug use at the wheel or another A-G commits a traffic psychological counseling on a voluntary basis will be arranged. This also happens when the driver commits two more B-violations. In principle, it is worthwhile to participate in this non-free consultation, as this can be deleted from the Central Traffic Register. If two A-violations are followed by an equivalent offense, you lose your driving license for at least three months.
A special feature of the training seminar is in the case of drug consumption at the tax during the probationary period. It is specifically directed by licensed psychologists.

Medicines and their effects on traffic safety

Drugs in road traffic

Not only well-known drugs such as cannabis, ecstasy and heroin have an effect on driving. The cause for the next fine payment may also lie in the own medicine cabinet. Because many drugs have an impact on the body, affecting the performance and responsiveness. On one hand, treating physicians must inform the patient about possible side effects of the prescribed drug, on the other hand, each driver is responsible for his own drive and must ensure this. One should consume in any case drugs and alcohol at the same time. Even if the use of drugs behind the tax in the StVO is not really prohibited, this can lead to major problems. If an accident has been caused and analyzes of residues of drugs are found in the blood, serious penalties are threatened. These may consist of a fine or your driver's license. However, this accident may also lead to a liberty of imprisonment if the person was killed. Therefore, drugs should not simply be taken without head, without possible side effects or a driving disability, but to talk with his doctor or pharmacist about it.

Possible consequences of a ghost journey can be found in the following table:

Motorways are part of everyday life for many professionals. But what happens when the routine trip by a wrong-way driver on the highway is disturbed? Such a ghost ride almost always ends in a serious traffic accident, because of a risk of ghost driver is not to be trifled with.

An accident with a ghost driver can have fatal consequences

Two types of ghost trips - accidentally or deliberately

Generally Geisterfahrer motorists who drive on the wrong side of the road, because often they must especially in areas that are less this up not known notice that the signs to be desired. Often poor visibility resulting in certain weather conditions or mountainous regions in Germany to wrong-way drivers on the highway. That is why ghost-drivers can often do nothing for their actions.

Geisterfahrer - Freiheitsstrafe may threaten

Prevention of accidents with ghost drivers

Especially it is necessary as a preventive measure to improve the signs to the motorway junctions that have already led frequently to accidents involving wrong-way drivers. Especially useful for road users who are affected by it, are also broadcasting messages. Drivers suddenly confronted with this situation can be warned by announcements in the radio and react much more attentively with respect to ghost drivers - so worse can be avoided.

In an emergency: the four-point plan

1. Geisterfahrer should never attempt on the highway to turn , because that the highways are usually far too busy. The car should be as quick as possible parked at the entrance.
2. What's the fast lane for the wrong-way driver, represents the actual emergency lane. From the perspective of the ghost rider this therefore should never leave your car on the hard shoulder, but in the fast lane.
3. As the next major steps are then available to the switching on of the hazard warning lights, putting up the warning triangle and the cries of the police as an unavoidable measures.
4. Ultimately, it is of course also important that brings the wrong-way driver on the highway itself in safety. Once the police are called, help is not far.

What are the consequences?

Currently driving a wrong-way driver unconsciously on the wrong side, he faces usually only fined and license legal measures. Was his action but deliberately, a sentence of up to five years may be the result.
