What must you do when you are travelling and you notice that your vehicle is no longer roadworthy?

When you notice that your vehicle is no longer roadworthy, German traffic regulations require you to prioritize safety and legal compliance. The first step is to take the vehicle out of traffic as quickly as possible to avoid accidents and ensure the safety of yourself and others. Continuing to drive a damaged vehicle is prohibited, as it may further damage the vehicle or pose a hazard.

Once the vehicle is removed from traffic, you must only proceed when the damage has been properly repaired. This ensures that your vehicle meets safety standards and is compliant with road regulations before returning to the road.

Therefore, both actions—removing the vehicle from traffic and waiting for necessary repairs—are essential to adhere to German traffic laws. This combination helps maintain road safety and reduces the risk of accidents caused by malfunctioning vehicles.
