Chaos on the street: motorhome drivers get stuck without documents!

On January 6, 2025, an incident occurred in Grub, a district of Holzkirchen in the Rosenheim district. An unregistered motorhome was noticed during a radar control from the Holzkirchen police inspection. The 39-year-old driver, living in the northern district of Rosenheim, was stopped because the vehicle was not approved for road traffic.

At the check, the police found that there were no license plates, no vehicle documents and no liability insurance. Due to these violations of the compulsory insurance law and against the tax code, the driver must expect a complaint, such as Innsalzach24 reported.

background information on motorhomes and speed limits

Compliance with the traffic regulations is particularly important to avoid fines. In the case of motorhomes, specific speed limits apply, depending on the permissible total weight (ZGG). For motorhomes up to 3.5 tons of ZGG, the top speeds are between 30 km/h and 70 km/h, depending on the exceeding of the permitted speed. In addition, these amounts also vary differently and can lead to significant fines, as Fine catalog stated.

For motorhomes over 3.5 tons of ZGG, higher fines apply to speed overruns. Driving bans generally only use 26 km/h or more within one year at repeated speed overrun.
