Just the monetary fine, no revocation of the driver license in that case. A long time ago, that had not been the case, and fines for violations could often not be collected (the driver simply claimed that someone else drove the car, and he's legally allowed not to name the actual driver). That's the reason why, since a few decades ago, speed traps in Germany take pictures of the car's front so the driver's face can been identified. | |
