The smartphone may soon be sufficient for vehicle control. The federal government on Wednesday launched a draft for the 5th law to amend the Road Traffic Act and other road traffic laws. It wants to make a legal basis for digitization projects. The main focus is at the introduction of a digital driver and vehicle registration certificate.

The required details should be clarified on the basis of the novel. Federal Transport Minister Volcar Vicing (independent) was confident that “card license or paper vehicle license could stay at home in future”. Documents are then digitally detected on mobile phones.
ID wallet failed
A similar initiative that the federal Chancellori ID was moving forward with the wallet program, failing in 2021. The service provider Digital commissioned by the federal government withdrew the app from the Google and Apple Store after large -scale criticism of security experts and users. In ID wallet, however, the attention was different: it should be able to identify citizens digitally against third parties.
For the license of a digital driver, the European Union must first make requirements. European Union Parliament Has decided to do so.,
However, the dosier should be re -recorded after the European elections. According to the current situation, if a beneficiary cannot obtain an app-based version, the license of the check card should be retained.
Digital parking space control
Along with the draft, the government also wants Monitoring of traffic facility with digital meansAccording to the Ministry of Transport, their use should “increase the effectiveness of parking control” and municipalities should give “Contemporary scope for action for effective parking space management”. For example, the parking card behind the windshield can be replaced by the digital signal of the license plate, as already known from the previous “cell phone parking” through the app.
In addition, vehicle data in the registers of the Federal Motor Transport Office (KBA) should be used “in a contemporary digital and more address -friendly manner”. KBA has developed online information based on chassis number. In the future, every authorized information about the vehicle can be called through a sleeping agreement certificate.
Point trade prohibition
Another goal of improvement: To increase road traffic safety, the point of point trade for traffic violations should be clearly banned. Up to 30,000 euros are planned for commercial violations. It is unlikely that the Bundestag will decide to prepare the draft before the election, as the prominence advice and time for the organization is missing after traffic lights. Therefore, the initiative can only be seen as a recommendation for the new federal government.
CDU/CSU Parliamentary Group Pasted last year while presenting a digital driver’s licenseAt that time, the government referred to the conversation on the direction at the European Union level. Technical implementation, stated at the same time, is expected by KBA, “which will probably be used in parts of a technical service provider”.
