In plain English

A speed limit with this plate simply does not apply on a dry road. It is the plate that most often catches people out in both directions: ignored in rain, obeyed pointlessly in sunshine.

What you are looking at

Small white rectangle with a thin black border and the words 'bei Nässe' in black.

Original practice questions — not the amtlicher Fragenkatalog. Every question, sign description and scenario here is written by us and covers the same StVO rules as the official Klasse B test. We are not TÜV, DEKRA or a Fahrschule, and we do not reproduce the official catalogue. Road signs themselves are amtliche Werke (StVO Anlage 1–3). Rules checked against StVO and FeV on 2026-08-03.

Fines and Punkte are indicative. The amounts shown come from published Bußgeldkatalog tables, not from statute, and are last verified 2026-08-03. The binding figure is the one on your own Bußgeldbescheid.
