Anhörungsbogen

A questionnaire sent before a fine is issued, giving you the chance to respond to the accusation — usually within one to two weeks. You must correct your personal details if they are wrong, but you are never obliged to incriminate yourself or reveal who was driving. Ignoring it does not stop the proceedings; the Bußgeldbescheid usually follows.

In plain German

Ein Fragebogen vor einem Bußgeld: Sie dürfen sich zum Vorwurf äußern.

What it means

A questionnaire sent before a fine is issued, giving you the chance to respond to the accusation — usually within one to two weeks. You must correct your personal details if they are wrong, but you are never obliged to incriminate yourself or reveal who was driving. Ignoring it does not stop the proceedings; the Bußgeldbescheid usually follows.

استبيان يُرسل قبل إصدار الغرامة يتيح لك الرد على الاتهام، عادةً خلال أسبوع إلى أسبوعين. أنت ملزم بتصحيح بياناتك الشخصية إن كانت خاطئة، لكنك لست ملزمًا أبدًا بإدانة نفسك أو بكشف هوية من كان يقود. تجاهل الاستبيان لا يوقف الإجراءات، وغالبًا سيصلك بعده إشعار الغرامة.

As it appears in letters

Wir bitten Sie, den beiliegenden Anhörungsbogen innerhalb einer Woche ausgefüllt zurückzusenden.
