What can cause unnecessary obstructions?

The combination of stalling the engine in dense traffic, vehicles proceeding too slowly for no good reason, and motor vehicles breaking down due to running out of fuel all contribute to unnecessary obstructions on the road.

According to German traffic regulations, it is the responsibility of every driver to ensure their vehicle is in a proper working condition and that they are operating it safely and efficiently.

Stalling or slow driving in congested areas can create bottlenecks, aggravate traffic flow, and increase the risk of accidents. Additionally, vehicles that break down because they have run out of fuel not only disrupt traffic but can also create hazardous situations if they are not moved off the roadway quickly.

Understanding each of these factors is essential for maintaining safe and smooth traffic conditions, which is a primary objective of German traffic law.
