Verwarnungsgeld
Discussion
Does anyone know if there is a Gesetz in germany that states a Verwarnung must be served within a perticular time frame? I have just received (5/2) a Verwarnungsgeld from 27/12/13 for 126kmh in a 120! I am quite pissed off to be honest, not least that the letter has taken over 34 days to process and I was 5% over the limit! What the hell is going on in Germany ATM regarding speeding?
Time limit AFAIK is 3 months from the date of the "offence". It ain't gonna cost much for 3km over the limit (3km toleranz, used to be 10%, those were the days 
),I think €30?. No points though 
As to why they're getting stricter of late: the local authorities are cronicly broke, and every little bit helps..In most cases it has absoslutly f

Thanks. I had a look last night and found the 3 month rule mentioned several times. The fine is only 10€ and is only my 3rd this year so, all in all, not too bad. ),I think €30?.

Not great but a small price to pay for the derestricted sections I suppose.
