Your car is snowed in. What do you need to do before you start your journey?

You answered correctly. Before driving in winter, it is important to remove all snow from your car’s number plate, roof, and lighting equipment. This ensures your license plate is visible, prevents snow from flying off and endangering others, and guarantees that your lights work properly so you can see and be seen. These measures are mandatory for safety and are required by German traffic law. Always make sure your car is free from snow and ice before starting your journey in winter conditions.
