Traffic law: No liability insurance - what threatens the 62-year-old?

According to a report by fraenkischer.de On Thursday, February 8, 2024, a 62-year-old moped driver was checked by the police on Bahnhofstrasse in Ansbach. The driver's moped had an expired green insurance license plate from 2022 and no valid liability insurance existed. The driver was stopped from continuing his journey and the police seized two keys. The driver was later caught again with a third-party key on the moped.

Such incidents not only have legal consequences for the driver, but can also have an impact on the insurance industry and the market as a whole. If moped drivers are caught without valid insurance, this can lead to rising insurance premiums as insurance companies see a higher risk of accidents and damage. In addition, this may lead to increased monitoring and control by authorities to ensure compliance with insurance requirements.

In addition, the negative behavior of individual drivers can affect the image of the entire industry. If cases like this become more common, it could affect consumer confidence in the reliability and legitimacy of insurance in general.

It is important that authorities and insurance companies take measures to increase awareness of compulsory insurance and consistently punish violations. This is the only way to ensure the smooth functioning of the insurance system and consumer trust in the insurance industry.
