In the case of particularly serious offenses, this can go up to 5 years or life. Under certain circumstances, the ban period can be shortened by taking part in training courses. If an MPU has been ordered, an examination is necessary. The MPU center can be chosen freely. The costs for an MPU can be between 350,00 to 750,00 EUR...

Is it still worth buying a diesel car?
15.10.2020
Some love them, others are rather sceptical about them: we are talking about diesel vehicles. For long-distance drivers, diesel-powered vehicles are the ideal solution, because they are more efficient and more energy-rich, and the fuel is usually much cheaper than petrol. After all, about 15 million, or almost 40 percent of all vehicles registered in Germany, are diesel vehicles affected by the driving ban. While diesel produces lower CO2 emissions, it also produces considerable amounts of pollutants in the form of nitrogen oxides. Thus, the nitrogen oxides, which are harmful to the climate and to health, cannot be made up for with lower CO2 emissions...

Autonomous driving – when can we expect it?

When is travel permitted again?
10.06.2020
A pandemic that has kept the whole world on tenterhooks and made travel unthinkable and impossible for months.

Now the time has come - the German government lifts the travel warning for EU countries and individual European states on 15 June...

27.02.2020

The first passenger plane took off in 1919 and could carry just four people. Nowadays, over 800 people can be...
Synthetic Fuels – Is this the future?
20.01.2020
Alternative drives are on everyone's lips. Electric vehicles in particular are the subject of much discussion. In terms of the environment, however, fully electronic motorisation cannot be the final solution, because the production of the batteries, the raw materials and also the electricity for the charging process leave a clear ecological footprint. How about finding sensible alternatives to diesel and petrol that are also produced in a climate-neutral way and are affordable? That's exactly what the...

Flying with a clear conscience – Easyjet offsets CO2 emissions
17.12.2019
Never has there been so much talk about the climate and CO2 pollution of the environment as this year.

Emergency lane - this is how it works
27.08.2019
People often talk about it, but it often fails to be implemented - the formation of the emergency lane. Imagine you are on the motorway, suddenly the traffic starts to jam and the siren sounds from afar. Where to now? The traffic jam is stuck and there is hardly any room to get out of the way. This costs valuable time - not only for the ambulance, the possible accident victim, but also for you. The sooner the rescue services arrive at the scene of the accident, the quicker the...
Deadlines for old driving licenses to a new EU driving license
19.07.2019
Did you get your driving licence before 1999? Then you are certainly more familiar with classes like 1, 2 and 3 and not classes like A1, AM or B.

These driving licences differ from the old ones in that they are only valid for 15 years and then have to be renewed.
