Mirror clap with consequences
If you’re not sure whether you might have hit another car with your own vehicle, you’d be well advised to stop, get out and make sure nothing has happened. Finally, even minor jostling is considered an accident under traffic law. Because a defendant, a master mechanic (50), ignored precisely this duty of care while driving through a town, district court judge ilona conver spoke of "conditional intent." For this offense, the man, who has no criminal record, will be asked to pay a fine of 300 euros.
The mishap happened in the northern habberge district. According to his own statements, the defendant drove on 27. August 2018 shortly before noon, he was driving his van along a local road at about 40 kilometers per hour. When he heard a loud noise, he could not make sense of it at first. At this point, he even considered the possibility that he had hit a dog. At a traffic circle, he finally turned around and steered his car back to the place where he had heard the bang.
