Three times the EXPRESS.DE No jury for pirates at the helm. First, the eye patch the view, secondly, the pirate with a hook hand does not draw, third, do not brake with a wooden leg. Not to mention what the parrot has, on the shoulder while driving can do.

Gesichtssmasken not go at the wheel! The view is to be very limited. Mouthguard is useless anyway, if not just gebützt. So even sit at the wheel, requires EXPRESS.DE ... But who actually still afraid of the swine flu?

Lecker Funkenmariechen driving are not a problem. EXPRESS.DE agrees. Only the hat better off while driving. And the white boots of Marie, of course, must be able to operate the pedals.

Animal costumes such as this polar bear are only OK, when the head and the gloves removed or folded back. EXPRESS.DE warns all face masks: Too dangerous!

It would be a shame if the lovingly crafted hats ends on the headrest. Wigs and hats might slip or that restrict sight and hearing. Whether shoulder look or nod to the Karnevalsrap: EXPRESS.DE advises to remove headdress. This also applies to all Indian chiefs.

A Pappnase 'can indeed hinder the view. EXPRESS.DE but hopes to be the great days of our friends and helpers have accessory for the popular understanding. If not, it helps only for a bribe with Bützchen.
The rule provides: Foolish drivers are allowed to dress scantily. A masquerade behind the wheel is permitted only when visibility, mobility and hearing are not impaired. This is not harassment, it's about the safety of the public: who dressed extremely car is going to endanger themselves and other road users!
It currently has the Allianz AG Germany points, as the Automobile Club of Germany (AvD). "A Pappnase with the Highway Code still mostly compatible, eye patch, or full face mask, however, are off limits," the AvD. For violations, a fine of ten threatened € can go in an accident due to gross negligence of the insurance coverage is lost.
Pirate with eye patch, hook hand and peg leg are thus in no case the wheel. And cyclists can be prosecuted.
Ash Wednesday is all over! This also applies to panels. Motorists may no longer masked behind the wheel. Who will be flashed masked to be reckoned in the case of his transfer to higher penalties, as he may intent is assumed. And the Nubbel can it be not have been more.
