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, specific actions must be taken according to German traffic regulations to ensure compliance and safety.

The first requirement is that the vehicle may not be used in road traffic. This is crucial because operating a vehicle without insurance is illegal and can lead to severe penalties.

Secondly, the vehicle must be de-registered at the registration centre. This step is essential to officially remove the vehicle from the road traffic system and prevent any potential misuse or legal issues in the future.

Both actions are necessary for proper vehicle management and adherence to legal requirements, ensuring that only insured vehicles are permitted on public roads.
