When it comes to your beloved car and fines, you can quickly annoy some people on social media.
This is likely to annoy some drivers of expensive vehicles: According to the website 24aktuelles.com, the fines will soon be adjusted to the value of the vehicle. The drivers of Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Co. can have a whole bag full of money with them when they rush through the next speed camera.
Conversely, the fines are low if you only drive a cheap small car. So come on, dear friends, go to the used car market and buy an old Fiat Cinquecento. This is beneficial on several levels. But let's take a closer look at the report from 24aktuelles.com at this point. What do we read there?
