The traffic offenses and misdemeanors entered in the driving aptitude register (FAER) at the Federal Motor Transport Authority in Flensburg are assessed with 1 to 3 points depending on their severity. In terms of content, the driving aptitude assessment system is intended to

• ensure equal treatment of road users who repeatedly violate traffic regulations,
• detect a driver's fitness deficiencies as early as possible,
• provide assistance to the driver so that the person concerned recognizes and remedies their suitability deficits as early as possible in order to avoid reaching 8 points and thus the revocation of their driver's license.

The driving license authority must take certain measures on the basis of notifications from the Federal Motor Transport Authority about the entries in the FAER:

1st stage:

Anyone who reaches 4 to 5 points receives a warning and information about the driving aptitude assessment system. If a driving aptitude seminar is now attended voluntarily, 1 point can be reduced as a result. A corresponding reduction in points through voluntary participation in a driving aptitude seminar is only possible once every five years, and can also take place with a points score of 1 to 3. The certificate of attendance must be submitted to the driving license authority within two weeks of completing the seminar.

2nd stage:

If you have 6 to 7 points, you will receive a warning. A driving fitness seminar can also be attended voluntarily at this stage, but without the possibility of reducing points.

3rd stage:

Reaching 8 points or more leads to the revocation of the driving license.

• Admonition and warning according to the driving aptitude assessment system: EUR 17.90 each (fee number 209 of the scale of fees for road traffic measures - GebOst)
• Ordering measures in preparation for the decision to revoke the driver's license: €12.80 to €25.60 (fee number 208 GebOst)
• Withdrawal of driving license: 33.20 to 256.00 € (fee number 206 GebOst)
