Fine notice, driving ban and points
In addition to speeding cases, we handle proceedings involving red-light violations, following-distance violations, mobile-phone offences and other road traffic administrative offences. After service of a fine notice, it should be examined whether an objection should be lodged and which deadlines apply.
A driving ban can have significant practical consequences, particularly for employees, self-employed persons or anyone else who depends on their driving licence.

1 Received a fine notice Objection, deadlines and initial review
After service of a fine notice, it should be reviewed promptly whether an objection should be lodged. Relevant factors include the specific allegation, the amount of the fine, possible points and whether a driving ban has been imposed or is threatened.
For our review, we particularly need the fine notice and – where available – the hearing form, witness questionnaire and further correspondence from the administrative fines authority.
2 Speeding and measurement Speed cameras, measurement procedure and technical review
Proceedings concerning speeding are a particular focus. As part of the defense, we examine in particular the underlying measurement and the available documentation relating to the measurement procedure.
Depending on the proceedings, it may be necessary to clarify whether the measurement was properly carried out and evaluated and whether the procedural documents provide grounds for a defense.
3 Driving ban and points in Flensburg Practical consequences, particularly for employees and self-employed persons
For many people, the decisive issue in addition to the fine is whether a driving ban or points in the driving aptitude register in Flensburg are threatened. If a driving licence is needed for work or for other important reasons, the consequences can be considerable.
We therefore examine not only the allegation but also the legal requirements for a possible driving ban and the effects of the decision on the points record.
4 Red light, following distance and mobile phone at the wheel Other typical road traffic administrative offences
Administrative offence proceedings are not limited to speeding. We also handle proceedings involving red-light violations, following-distance violations, mobile-phone offences and other road traffic administrative offences.
The specific evidence, available measurement or image material and the resulting legal consequences are decisive in each case.
5 Who was driving? Identification of the driver and allocation of the vehicle
In administrative offence proceedings, the question of who actually drove the vehicle may also be decisive. We examine the allocation of the vehicle, available photographs and the evidence concerning the identity of the driver.
Only on this basis can it be assessed which defense approaches are available in the individual proceedings.
