You are driving a truck with a gross vehicle weight rating of 18 t. During what hours does the driving ban on the transport of goods for hire or reward apply on Sundays and public holidays?

In Germany, there are specific regulations regarding the transport of goods by trucks on Sundays and public holidays. The driving ban applies to trucks exceeding a gross vehicle weight of 7.5 tons, including your 18-ton truck.

The ban is in place to reduce noise and traffic on these days, allowing for a more peaceful environment for the public. The driving ban is effective from midnight (0:00 hrs) to 22:00 hrs (10:00 PM) on these days.

Your response indicated a misunderstanding of the time frame, particularly stating the hours from 022 hrs., which is not a standard time notation, as times should generally be denoted in a 24-hour format without leading zeros. Knowing the correct timeframe is crucial for compliance with these regulations and helps avoid penalties.

Understanding and adhering to these driving bans is important not only for legal compliance but also for creating a safer and more enjoyable driving environment for everyone.
