Overview
- The presenter confirmed she must hand in her driving licence for four weeks after a speeding-related penalty, and she spoke about the sanction at the Goldenes Lenkrad gala in Berlin.
- German rules give her up to four months to submit the licence and to pick the start date for the four-week ban, and she says she is looking for the weeks that will hurt her schedule least.
- Schöneberger said she accepts responsibility for the offence and rejected being called a reckless driver while acknowledging she sometimes drives fast.
- She previously told Auto Bild she was flashed by speed cameras three times in one day, but the recent reports do not give the exact date or location of the offence that triggered the current sanction.
- Reports rely on Schöneberger’s RTL interview and Flensburg’s administrative penalty process, and the timing she picks could affect her commuting between studios, stages and events.
