Traffic Criminal Law – Competent Defense in Traffic Offenses

Traffic criminal law covers offenses committed in road traffic that can have far-reaching consequences for freedom, mobility, and professional existence. Unlike administrative offenses (fines, points), traffic crimes usually lead to criminal proceedings – with the risk of fines, prison sentences, license suspension, and entries in the criminal record.

As an experienced criminal defense lawyer, I represent you nationwide if you are accused of a traffic offense. My goal is to protect your rights, minimize consequences, and safeguard your mobility.

Typical Accusations in Traffic Criminal Law

Frequent charges include:

  • Drunk driving (§ 316 StGB)
  • Endangering road traffic (§ 315c StGB)
  • Hit and run (§ 142 StGB)
  • Driving without a license (§ 21 StVG)
  • Coercion in road traffic (§ 240 StGB)
  • Illegal street racing (§ 315d StGB)
  • Negligent bodily injury or homicide in traffic (§§ 222, 229 StGB)
  • Driving under the influence of drugs (§ 316 StGB, BtMG reference)

These accusations often lead to drastic measures – license suspension, medical-psychological examination (MPU), searches, or even pre-trial detention in severe cases.

Special Features of Investigations

Investigations in traffic criminal law often involve:

  • Technical evidence: blood tests, breathalyzer results, accident reconstructions, speed analyses.
  • Witness statements: from accident participants, pedestrians, or police officers.
  • Seizures: driver’s license, vehicle, electronic data (e.g., on-board computer, dashcam).
  • Preliminary license suspension: often imposed during the investigation phase.

Here especially: never make statements without legal advice.

Possible Penalties and Consequences

Penalties depend on the accusation:

  • Fines (calculated in daily rates)
  • Prison sentences (possibly suspended)
  • License suspension and driving bans
  • Entries in the driver fitness register (Flensburg)
  • Entries in the criminal record for serious offenses

In addition, there are severe professional consequences, especially for professional drivers, doctors, sales representatives, or self-employed persons.

Defense Strategies

As a defense lawyer, I develop tailored strategies, such as:

  • Reviewing the legality of alcohol and drug tests
  • Challenging accident reports or speed measurements
  • Securing exculpatory evidence (dashcam recordings, witness statements)
  • Filing motions for dismissal or sentence reduction
  • Defending against license revocation
  • Preventing an MPU requirement

The goal is always to reduce or avoid negative consequences.

Why You Need a Specialized Defense Lawyer

Traffic criminal proceedings are often existential for defendants: without a license, many lose their livelihood. In addition, there is the risk of criminal records and high fines.

A specialized defense lawyer ensures that:

  • all investigative measures are critically reviewed,
  • unlawful evidence is challenged,
  • chances of dismissal are fully exploited,
  • penalties are reduced or avoided.
