Minor Offenses

An administrative offense must be distinguished from a criminal offense. In traffic law, administrative offenses are punished with fines, points in Flensburg, and potential driving bans.

The Road Traffic Act (StVO) regulates conduct in road traffic.

Conduct in road traffic is regulated by the Road Traffic Act (StVO). Nevertheless, so-called traffic administrative offenses occur thousands of times daily. The areas in which administrative offenses can be committed in road traffic include:

- Speeding
- Insufficient distance
- Parking violations

If you plan to object to an administrative offense or a subsequent fine notice, our lawyers experienced in traffic law can assist you. They will review the available documents to identify errors and omissions, which could result in no points being added to your record in Flensburg and potentially allow you to avoid a fine.
