Fine notice Traffic violations 
-
Basic information
A fine notice is the punishment for a traffic offense. In addition to the amount of the fine, the fine notice also contains fees and expenses. A fee of 5 % of the fine is charged, but at least 25.00 euros and expenses of 3.50 euros. A fine notice can also result in points in Flensburg and driving bans.
The amount of the warnings and fines, the points in the driving aptitude register (FAER) in Flensburg and the imposition of driving bans are set out in the catalog of fines.
Please note that in the case of previous entries in the driving aptitude register, decisions may be made that deviate from the catalog of fines. If you commit the same traffic offense several times within a certain period of time, you will be accused of persistence and will be considered a repeat offender.
Requirements
- Infringement of traffic regulations

Procedure
After receiving a fine notice, you have the option of paying the fine within four weeks or lodging an objection within two weeks. The date of receipt by the fines office is decisive.
Please note that an objection by e-mail does not constitute an effective objection.
If you lodge an objection to a fine notice, the fines office will first check whether the case can be dropped.
If the case cannot be dropped, the local court will decide. Court costs may also be incurred here.
If your fine notice results in a driving ban, please note that the fines office in Bremen is only responsible for driving bans imposed by Bremen. If it is a driving ban imposed by another authority, we are unfortunately unable to accept your driving license.
