Be careful with sample license plates
Garanta insurance experts warn: Anyone who does not adhere to the legal regulations when using sample license plates must expect gaps in insurance coverage and administrative consequences in the event of an accident.
Be careful with sample license plates
In most cases, the existence of unrestricted insurance coverage when using test license plates is linked to the owner of the blue license plate taking a test drive within the meaning of Section 45 of the Motor Vehicle Act. Stefan Enthofer, head of the Garanta service center: “If the police or an authority discovers, for example during an accident investigation, that there was no test drive for some reason, the comprehensive insurer of the test license plate can refuse the service.”
The liability insurer, who is usually liable to pay the injured party, will then demand the amounts paid back from the policyholder. In addition, there may be administrative penalties, which can extend to the removal of test drive license plates. Federal Guild Master Friedrich Nagl: “It is precisely for this reason that it is worth taking a closer look at this matter.” The Federal Guild has therefore set up an extensive information area on the Internet on the subject of test drives and test license plates.
