What is required when your vehicle is no longer covered by motor liability insurance?

When a vehicle is no longer covered by motor liability insurance in Germany, there are specific legal obligations that must be met. Firstly, the vehicle may no longer be used in road traffic. This is crucial because driving an uninsured vehicle is illegal and carries significant penalties.

Secondly, the vehicle must be de-registered at the registration center. This process is essential to officially remove the vehicle from the national vehicle registry, which helps prevent issues such as fines for driving an uninsured vehicle or being held responsible for any incidents involving the vehicle.

Overall, fulfilling these requirements ensures compliance with German traffic regulations and protects you from legal consequences. Failing to complete either of these steps could lead to fines and increased liability for any accidents or damages that occur while the vehicle is still registered and being driven without insurance.
