Best Answer

The Vollstreckungsverjährung for charges up to 1000 Euro is three years.

However, several measures of the authorities can extend that period ad infinitum. For example, if the authorities don't start that Vollstreckung because they found you left Germany. In that case, they will bill you on your next visit.

What happens if I get a speeding ticket in Germany?

Traffic fines in Germany tend to be quite small. Fines for speeding start at 15 EUR in city limits and 10 EUR outside of city limits. Those small fines are for exceeding the speed limit up to 10 km/h and hour. Speeding up to 20 km/h only results in a fine of 35 EUR and 30 EUR respectively.

How many speeding tickets can you get before your license is suspended in Germany?

In Germany, once a driver accumulates four to five points, he or she will receive a warning, along with information about the points system. With six to seven points, a driver must attend two 90-minute seminars within three months of notification. With eight or more points, the driver's license is revoked.

What happens when you get stopped for speeding?

If you have been stopped by the Police for speeding, there is no need to serve a Notice of Intended Prosecution. For less serious offences, you will probably receive an offer of a speed awareness course or a Fixed Penalty Notice which will be handed to you by the Officer at the time of the offence.
