Federal police stop Kia without a license plate – 60 euros fine for the driver!

Today, October 9th, 2025, there is a little excitement in Jenkwitz, on the busy B6 federal highway. The federal police had their sights set on a Kia X-Ceed whose driver, a 35-year-old woman, was driving without a license plate. An emergency medical stop! This situation became a hot topic of conversation among local residents.

The driver's explanation was plausible: "My husband has the license plates and the documents in his car," according to the information. She only wanted to drive a short distance, but the traffic regulations make no exceptions - and so the driver received a fine of 60 euros, which she really hadn't planned for. Some might say that the note was quite wrong.

Road safety in Germany

The issue of transport plays a central role, especially in Germany. Comprehensive data on mobility and traffic is prepared in the annual standard work “Traffic in Numbers” published by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure. The compendium has a wide range: from current figures on transport infrastructure to information on accident statistics and the daily mobility behavior of Germans. If you would like to find out more about the current situation, you can easily download the latest edition free of charge in PDF and MS Excel format. An excellent opportunity for anyone with a good knack for traffic information!

The annual publication not only offers data for Germany, but also enables a European comparison, which is equally exciting for transport planners and interested citizens. By the way, the layout of the publication is designed by the Federal Motor Transport Authority - a good piece of German bureaucracy with the aim of making traffic safer and more efficient, right?

In addition, it can be said that the traffic situation on the roads, like the incident in Jenkwitz, underlines the importance of compliance with traffic rules and regulations. Regardless of whether you have a license plate or not, safety and legal compliance should always come first.

In conclusion, we are all part of a large transport community. A little more attention often can't hurt - and maybe we can avoid a fine or two!
