Quick check: what should you do?
3 short questions — no sign-up required.
Deadline at a glance
2 weeks from service
§ 67 OWiG
The objection must reach the fine authority (Bußgeldbehörde) within 2 weeks of service, in writing or recorded in person on file — after that, the notice becomes final.
It is an AI, not a person: nobody looks at your individual case, and we do not know who signs up or for what reason. That is why we give pointers, but no legal advice on the individual case. Guidelines and playbooks in the platform are only guardrails: the AI relies on the available sources and your information. AI can make mistakes — check important results, and if in doubt, ask a lawyer.
What we pay special attention to
Curated from real cases. The AI review flags exactly these points in your document.
The deadline is often missed because it is shorter than the usual one-month objection period.
Tolerance deductions in speed/distance measurements are rarely checked correctly.
A driving ban can be imposed despite a comparatively small fine.
What you can do here in 5 minutes
A fine notice (Bußgeldbescheid) penalizes a regulatory offense (Ordnungswidrigkeit) — unlike a mere warning fine (Verwarngeld), formal fine proceedings have already been opened here. If you consider the notice wrong or suspect procedural errors, you must lodge a written objection (Einspruch) within two weeks of service (§ 67 OWiG) — otherwise the notice becomes final and enforceable.
Upload the notice — our AI tools check the date of service, tolerance deductions, the measuring method and possible procedural errors and prepare the objection on time.

Transparency
What the AI checks — and what only a lawyer can decide

If a driving ban or points in the Flensburg register are threatened, if it is disputed who was driving, or in the case of a repeat offense.

- Check T&C clausesExclusion of liability, notice period, automatic contract renewal — not every clause in standard terms and conditions is valid.
- Health insurer refusesTherapy, medical aid or rehabilitation refused? Often the insurer has missed its own response deadline — in which case the benefit is already deemed approved.
- Care level objectionThe long-term care insurer almost always follows the assessment of the Medical Service — if you object, you should check it module by module.
- Road traffic accidentAfter an accident, the other party’s insurer often settles too little — complete heads of damage and the correct liability ratio are worth a close look.
