In Germany, the use of winter tyres is regulated by law. These rules were further tightened in December of 2010. Below we provide an overview of the legal requirements in Germany.
When?
In Germany it is mandatory to adapt the car equipment to the weather conditions. This means that you must use winter tyres if you are driving in winter conditions. According to the law, winter conditions are in any case involved in sleet, slippery conditions due to snow, snow mud and slippery conditions due to ice or frost.
Germany has no fixed period in which the use of winter tyres is mandatory.
In Germany, winter tyres with the snowflake symbol, M+S tires and all-weather tyres are allowed. The tread depth must be at least 1.6 mm, but at least 4 mm is recommended.
For which vehicles?
In Germany it is a code of conduct for ‘motor vehicles’. The requirements therefore also apply to motorhomes and motorcycles. There is no requirement for winter tyres (or snow chains) on caravans. It is allowed and it also provides better road holding for caravans.
Winter equipment
The obligation to have suitable winter equipment relates not only to the tyres but also to, for example, the windscreen washer fluid, the windscreen wipers and the coolant.
Traffic fines
Germany has a fixed fine for not using winter tyres in winter conditions: €40. In case of hindrance or endangerment, the fine is €80 and 1 penalty point (amounts apply from 4-12-2010).
Pets are allowed €12.50 p.n. Not allowed in the restaurant.
