Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) recently even threatened with Sunday driving bans because his own sector is not meeting climate protection targets. In doing so, experts accused him of spreading panic and diverting attention from his own failures. After all, the unanimous statement was that there are indeed numerous measures the FDP man could take before pulling out the ultimate threat, such as reducing fossil subsidies like company car and diesel privileges, commuter allowances, or the kerosene tax exemption. Our online readers also agreed and judged the threat: "Total nonsense. Wissing should do his homework first, speed limits and the reduction of fossil subsidies bring much more. (81%, 86 votes).

For the answer "Great idea, we need less traffic anyway, not more - and that would be a symbolic start," 10% (11 votes) voted. And for "If there's no other way, we would have to resort to this measure," only 8% (9 votes) were in favor. Noteworthy: The topic moves our community: A total of 106 votes were cast.
