To further promote compliance with the prescribed labelling of dangerous goods, which is of great importance especially in case of an accident and to emphasise its importance, the penalties for non-compliance are high.

Safety is the top priority here because neither the environment nor drivers or other road users should be endangered during transports. Strict regulations are intended to make this clear. High fines, points in Flensburg or even driving bans underline the importance of dangerous goods labels enormously.

To deal with these dangers, risks and the high level of responsibility a training must be completed if a driver is to transport dangerous goods. If the ADR certificate, the so-called dangerous goods licence, is not presented at a check the fine is 500€.
